Referee Pathway Launched

A new GAA Handball's Referee Education Pathway has now been launched, incorporating all codes played in Ireland. See below for full details and links to our Referee Pathway's for the various codes of Handball.

Our Referee Education page will be permanently available on our website at www.gaahandball.ie/clubzone/referee-education

Overview

  • Two separate pathways have been devised, one for 4-Wall/60x30 combined, and one for 1-Wall.
  • Phase 1 of both pathways is now available; an online multiple choice quiz where participants who pass (90% Pass Rate required) will receive certification.
  • For Phase 2, GAA Handball will be rolling out a series of regional referee clinics in early 2020.
