Football Referees to Host a Masterclass

Steve Sidwell joined top referees Howard Webb and Chris Foy to host a masterclass.

The Aston Villa star joined the pair, who both officiate in the Barclays Premier League, at the Aston Park Barclays Spaces for Sports site where they put on a special session for local schoolchildren.

This Barclays grassroots event is the first of four regional events to promote the Premier League's 'Get on with the Game' programme.

Webb and Foy took 30 children aged 11-14 through a refereeing master class, whilst professional coaches took them through a coaching session to reinforce the Premier League's 'Get on with the Game' message. This was followed by a Q&A and autograph session with Sidwell and the referees.
