Welcome to the page of the site dedicated to one of our most valuable resources – our referees!
Referees are key to the experience people have when playing Touch. Without these devoted people who put their bodies (and ears) on the line week in and week out, there would be no game. Many people think refereeing is easy and in theory it is.
If you have experience refereeing sport, or you are a player who is familiar with the rules or you are just keen to learn, then we can equip you with the skills to be a Touch referee; you will also need to have a level head, patience, compassion, confidence as well as a fair level of fitness.
We hope anyone hoping to, or currently reff’ing around the country will find the information they require here about training & development, courses and all the events this Spring and Summer at which their expertise is needed.
If you require any further information, please contact Bruce Lockie, National Director of Referees:Â
