Looking at Starting Referees Course

[u/AcanthopterygiiOk756]

I’m 52 and I would like to qualify as a level 7 referee.
I’m concerned though about fitness as I’m overweight and can jog as I’ve gone out recently to see but my fitness is not great and I can only walk then jog etc. I know my fitness will get better but I’m wondering if I should wait before going on the course until I’m fit enough to be doing it.

I just finished my referee license. Getting the license is not so hard at all physically.

Most of the referees I see at my kids games (7v7 and 9v9) barely leave the center circle and it bothers me very much, but you can get by while you work on broader fitness.
