Last weekend saw the annual, Welsh Premier League Officials, seminar for the 2015/16 season. The seminar was held at the Welsh Football Trust HQ in Newport, Dragon Park.

The Seminar saw over 50 officials both referees and assistant referees attend the 2 day event.

The weekend was split into two sections. Saturday saw all the officials take part in their annual pre-season fitness test and practical training sessions. This year the officials were tested on their fitness by using the FIFA fitness test, they also had their body weight and also body fat percentage measured.
