Grassroots Referees is proud to announce a new referee development partnership with Lincolnshire Football Association, focused on nurturing the growth and progression of referees across the county.
As part of this collaboration, we have provided equipment starter packs to 220 new referees completing their training with Lincs FA, helping to build confidence and professionalism from the very first match.
We also supply U18 referee armbands, ensuring young referees are easily identified and supported on the field.
Declan Ford, Referee Development Manager, Lincolnshire Football Association, said: "Lincolnshire FA has used Grassroot Refs for a number of seasons and always receives good quality equipment on time and at a great price. The referee starter packs we provide to our trainee referees are always greatly appreciated, and I see them regularly used on my travels around our grassroots leagues.
"Steve and Grassroot Referees provide a great service to Lincs FA and always deliver with whatever kit requests I make. It is a very beneficial partnership that, most importantly, supports my grassroots referees.
"I look forward to continuing our great relationship with this exciting partnership and seeing how we can further enhance referee development for all our referees."
Steve Chittenden, founder of Grassroots Referees, commented: "We are delighted to partner with the team at Lincs FA, which is committed to referee development. Partnerships like this are key to strengthening grassroots officiating. We're excited to work with Lincs FA to invest in the future of refereeing and support new officials on their journey."
