Description du cours

The sustainability of university and amateur sport relies heavily on a steady, competent stream of officiating talent. Yet, traditional recruitment methods are failing, and drop-out rates among young officials remain alarmingly high. This comprehensive online course is designed specifically for University Sports Directors and Heads of Referee Committees who are ready to move beyond ad-hoc staffing and build a resilient, professional officiating ecosystem.

Moving beyond the mechanics of rule enforcement, this course focuses on the management of human capital in sport. It equips leadership with evidence-based strategies to attract the next generation of referees, mitigate early-career burnout, and foster environments where young officials can thrive.
