WORCESTERSHIRE Football Association will run female-only mini-soccer referee courses this summer.

Costing £30, they are for those aged 14 and over and need a minimum of 10 involved.

Mini-soccer is played by children up to the age of 10.

Currently just four per cent of the county’s active referees are female.

The first course is on Thursday, July 26, and Friday, July 27, from 1pm until 5pm at the Claines Lane ground in Worcester.

The second is on Sunday, August 12, and Sunday, August 19, from 9.30am until 1.30pm at Welland Junior's Spitalfields venue.
