The Norfolk FA Young Referee Group is for all registered match officials in Norfolk, aged 14-21. The purpose of the group is to support and offer development opportunities to all young referees in the County.

The Norfolk FA Young Referee Group hold development evenings throughout each season and these will be run by the Referee Development Officer and guest speakers. Over the past few seasons, the group have had Norfolk's very own Premier League Match Officials Dan Robathan and Lee Betts deliver some fantastic presentations on various refereeing topics.

All referees in the Young Referee Group have the opportunity to be nominated for further development programmes such as the County CORE and National CORE which is the FA's Centre of Refereeing Excellence Programme.
