We are excited to announce a unique opportunity designed to foster the growth and development of female referees within our region. This season, EOS is proudly offering a female-only Entry Level Referee Course on Saturday, April 18th, 2026, at Algonquin College.
This initiative is a cornerstone of our commitment to significantly increase the number of female officials in our local referee pool and to nurture talent for advancement through the referee pathway. We firmly believe that providing a safe, supportive, and familiar environment is crucial for new female referees to thrive.
What makes this course special?
We want to assure you that this program is designed to complement, not diminish, your club's referee pool. These new officials will still require your invaluable support in game assignments to gain experience and succeed.
If you have aspiring female candidates within your club who would greatly benefit from this focused and supportive approach, we strongly encourage them to register!
Course Details:
If a candidate has already registered for another course, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are confident we can arrange a seamless transfer to this specialized offering.
Together, we can empower more female referees to step onto the field with confidence and contribute to the beautiful game.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support.
