What is it?
Mastermind brings referees from across the globe together to learn, share experiences and develop as match officials. Every session is online, so wherever you referee, you can join in.
Whatever your level, from your first season to the professional game, you'll leave with new ideas, a bit more confidence and a few more connections in the refereeing community.
Each month we share a sign-up form by email and on our socials. Get on our list below and you won't miss it.
The Microsoft Teams link lands on the day of the session. Check your junk/spam folder too, it likes to hide in there.
Join on Teams from wherever you are. Places are capped at 300, so don't hang about.
