2. OUR HISTORY
The Nationwide Referee Camp has been teaching and developing referees since 1993. Nationwide Camp
founder and Instructor Alan Richardson commented, “Since I experienced at first hand these types of
teaching camps in the USA some years ago, I wanted to run something similar for referees on this side of the
Atlantic.
We have been part of the development of a huge number of referees that have gone on to excel at national
and international level, both here in the UK and overseas. We are proud of what we have helped officials
achieve in the last 30 years. “
Lead Instructor Richard Stokes added, “The format of this camp, and the experiences and insights
that the instructors can share with the referees, makes it unique. It’s great that we can work with referees
of all levels and experiences to help them fulfil their potential and reach their goals, and the Leeds Camp gives u
you a great opportunity to do that.”

officiating:

 Areas to improve and to continue to work on
