Welcome to the home page of the of the North Wilts Referees
This site is for all referees who participate in the North Wilts & District Youth & Minors League.
The North Wilts & District Youth & Minors league provides organised football for all age groups from Under 7’s through to Under 18’s. The League is primarily based in the Swindon area but has teams participating from West Wiltshire, Berkshire and Gloucestershire.
The league endeavours to provide all 9 v9 and 11 a side matches with a fully qualified referee and therefore we are constantly on the look out for new referees who wish to join us.

2011/2012 Season
This season most of the league and FA rules are the same as last season but the highlights are as follows:
9 v 9 football has now covers all U11 and most U12 football in the North Wilts league. 9 v 9 football complies will all of the rules of the 11 a side game with the exception of the number of players and the smaller pitches and size of the goals.
The League wants to try a stamp out all forms of foul language on the pitch and it is the referees responsibilty to ensure they have reminded players and coaches of this before the match and strictly apply the rules during the match
The League wishes to introduce the "respect handshake" and line up before every match
The League no longer requires match reports from the referees unless there is something definate to report
Match Fees remian at £15 + 30p per mile travel expenses there and back
If you have cause to caution or send off a player these forms can also be downloaded from this web site but need to be emailed to the appropriate County FA
