المستخلص

The current research aims to design a technical educational program for improving referee performance skills for third grad soccer referees and to use it in identifying the referee performance skills among third grade soccer referees in the Egyptian league and the effectiveness of the designed program. The researcher used the quasi-experimental approach (one-group design) with pre- and post-measurements. Research community includes all third-grade soccer referees registered in the Egyptian Federation of Football 2023-2024. Maim research group (n=25) was randomly chosen. Results indicated that the technical educational program had positive effects on learning some performance skills for third grade soccer referees. The observation card had high ability to judge referee performance skills for third grade soccer referees.

According to these conclusions, the researcher recommends the following:

1. Generalizing the recommended technical educational program so that it can be used in selecting third grade soccer referees.

2. Notifying third grade soccer referees periodically with all recent advances and new rules and skills of soccer refereeing.

3. Performing more studies that deal with referee performance skills.

4. Performing more studies that deal with improving technical, physical, intellectual and mental aspects of soccer referees.
