Reffering Opportunity

We will once again run a 1 day session with  Touch Mentors to increase our pool of officials - Their role will be to grow their own knowledge along with supporting players to increase theirs. They will start through the online portal linked on the right, and attend an on field session. Scheduled Monday 9th - Lunch / Whistle and T-Shirt Provided

Once trainings have been completed, each mentee will receive $10 per game, with a maximum of 2 games per night. We will work around their games. 

Mentees will be supported by event organisers. There will be two referees per game depending on difficulty. ​​​​​​​
