We cannot play Touch without our Referees - WE NEED YOU!! 

Touch NZ is excited to release a new online Foundation referee course which will be an opportunity for members to upskill on the FIT 5th Edition playing rules free of charge. 

The online course will provide users with all fundamental skills and education required to referee touch at the community level.  There are interactive elements, videos, and knowledge checkpoints along the way to assist learners. 

The course is broken into ten modules, which users can complete at their own pace:

Course Topics are:

- Topic 1 (Introduction) 

- Topic 2 (Role of the Referee) 

- Topic 3 (Possession) 

- Topic 4 (Touch & Rollball) 

- Topic 5 (Communication) 

- Topic 6 (Positioning) 

- Topic 7 (7M Zone & Try Procedure) 

- Topic 8 (Teamwork) 

- Topic 9 (Drop-off Procedure)
