Many clubs are training new referees to meet the requirements of the new refereeing scheme. Training counts: all exam matches count towards the scheme, plus at most three matches the referee officiates before the exam. In the season after obtaining the diploma, every match officiated counts for 1.1, ten percent extra.
In the 2026/27 season, programmes of the Maatschappelijke Diensttijd (MDT) will also start for young people between the ages of sixteen and 30. One of these trains participants to become a KNKV-scheidsrechter. Participants receive extra guidance and workshops on topics including decisiveness, communication and game insight. The programme is free of charge.
