OHI Refereeing Course

We are excited to announce our upcoming Olympic Handball Refereeing Course, designed to equip participants with the knowledge and practical skills needed to officiate handball matches with confidence and professionalism.

📅 Course Dates:

• Online Theory Sessions: Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd April (via Zoom)

• In-Person Course: Sunday 27th April
  🕘 Time: Theory begins at 9:00 AM, followed by on-court practical from 1:00 PM
  📍 Location: Sport Ireland National Indoor Arena

Refereeing and officiating are essential components of any sport — they uphold the integrity of the game, ensure safety, and create a fair and enjoyable environment for all. This course is perfect for anyone looking to get involved in handball from a different perspective, whether you’re a player, coach, teacher, or sports enthusiast.

Participants will be required to put into practice what they’ve learned during the theory part in a hands-on practical session on court.

Supporting Women in Sport (WIS) Initiative:
As part of our commitment to promoting gender equality in handball, Olympic Handball Ireland (OHI) will provide 50% cashback for women who complete the course, thanks to WIS funding. We strongly encourage women to take this opportunity and become part of the growing community of female officials in the sport.

Places are limited – don’t miss out!
