School Referee Courses

Northern NSW Football (NNSWF) has launched an innovative new Schools Referee Program to support students to become match officials.

The program will provide schools across the Hunter with the opportunity to offer in-house Level 4 introductory referee courses to students during school hours. It aims to boost the number of student referees and address the shortage of match officials available for school games.

Students will learn how to become a referee, gain a refereeing qualification and an opportunity to earn money while embarking on a rewarding career path.

NNSWF will deliver the introductory courses at a time that best suits the school and students.
