Become an American Football Referre : Tue Apr 07, 2009 3:53 pm  

The 2009 British American Football Season is now just around the corner, and there's no better way to get involved in the game, than to be a match official. Unlike a lot of sports you are never alone as a Match Official, every game is officiated by at least four officials. There are teams across the length and breadth of the country, from Inverness to Newqauy, and all these teams need officials for their games. BAFRA is widely recognised as having one of the best training programmes in the world, for a small group they’ve had officials work all over Europe. BAFRA members have recently officiated the American Football World Cup final. BAFRA members have even reached the highest possible level of the sport by officiating for the NFL!!! BAFRA is open to Men and Women from 18 years and up. BAFRA have active members still officiating into their 70’s !!!

It's a great way to get involved in the sport, keep fit but without the phyiscal demands such a high collision sport.

I'd rather go to a game of rugby union with john inverdale than get involved with this tat.

Leave it over there, we have better alternatives than american advertball.

Advertball? Ha ha. We'll just watch our football & rugby teams with sponsors over their kit and round the pitch! We just watch one big advert nowadays. That's one thing the NFL have got spot on, no sponsors on the kits or advertising boards / screens.

Good thing though is that some folk don't give a flying poop what you think. You don't like it, don't post about it. Simple as that.
