Details of Referee Development sessions and activities that are planned by Manchester Football Association or the Football Association within the County or the North West Region in the near future. These development sessions are designed for the benefit of officials once they have completed the initial training:

RESPECT Workshops

Lose Respect, Lose the Game The RESPECTProgramme has been rolled out through Grassroots Football here in Manchester since January 2009. All Leagues are eligible to become RESPECT Leagues and details on how to apply are available through the Football Association – currently 18 of 22 Leagues within the County have expressed their wish to become RESPECT Leagues.

All match officials are required to attend a Respect Workshop, which focuses on techniques involving working with the captain, spectator areas and dealing with dissent.

MONDAY 19 APRIL 2010 7-9.15PM SALFORD SPORTS VILLAGE
