Futsal referee exam passed

Before the Chinese New Year festivities I found out that I passed my futsal referee exam, now I need to register with the Hong Kong Football Association in order to start refereeing my first matches. These first few matches will be under the watchful eye of an experienced referee who will mentor me.

Becoming a futsal referee

Here is a video where I share my experiences in training to be a futsal referee.

Futsal referee course

Very recently I have signed up to a Futsal(five a side football) referee course with the Hong Kong football association.  Before I can be accepted on the course I, along with all applicants, had to pass a colour blindness test and a fitness test.  Both of which I have passed. 

The fitness test consisted of running 20m in less than 3.6 seconds and also do a change of direction test in less than 11 seconds over a 10 metre course. 

I was easily the oldest in the class but it meant I had the least amount of pressure on me to pass the fitness test. The actual class is due to start week after next.
