Referee Wallets
How to choose referee wallets
Sub-type
Pick the sub-type first: Athletics for minimal checks, Coaching & Officiating for full referee kit, Sporting Goods for course or green scorecards.
Material
Material decides upkeep: leather and genuine leather/ribbon reward care, plastic trades feel for simplicity.
Colour
Colour has tradeoffs: black with red detail hides marks, light yellow needs regular wiping.
Features
Check for a pen loop or pencil holder if you record live, because not all tiers offer it.
Format
Choose a single sleeve or a reusable cart holder based on how you move while officiating.
What's good
- Sporting Goods scorecard holders keep golf and bowls records flat during play.
- Leather and pu faux leather wallets often include a pen loop for on-the-spot notes.
- Coaching & Officiating folios group match cards and booklets so referees stay organised.
- Plastic and plastic/paper holders are light and reusable for cart-based scoring.
- Athletics score check cards fit in a pocket without adding kit bulk.
Things to watch
- Genuine leather and leather/gold tiers need conditioning, while plastic needs none.
- Plastic/paper holders can crease or tear if rain hits during outdoor Athletics use.
- Light yellow or green/yellow finishes show scuffs on leather more than black does.
- Some Coaching & Officiating wallets lack the pencil holder seen on certain cart holders.
- Leather/gold builds look sharp but carry more weight than leatherette ones.
Care & maintenance
Leather care
Wipe leather and pu faux leather with a damp cloth, then condition every few weeks.
Plastic care
Keep plastic/paper holders out of standing water to avoid curling inserts.
Gold care
Store gold or leather/gold pieces in a soft pouch so the metal stays untarnished.
General upkeep
Empty score sleeves after each match to prevent permanent creases.
