Become a Referee

It’s as simple as a phone call or e-mail. Contact your Local Provincial Director of Referees for more information. You can also sit the Online Touch Module Referee Course to gain the basics of Touch coaching.                                          The Course can be easily completed during an evening and is almost entirely theory. This course allows for “easy entry” into Touch Refereeing and is ideally suited for the beginner.
