REFEREES
Kawana Touch referees are highly valued members of our association. They are crucial to the continuity and quality of our competitions and help provide a fair, safe and enjoyable experience for all.
The minimum age to become a referee is 12 years old. Junior referees will commence their time in our junior competition and will receive mentorship and support from our junior referee coordinator while they gain confidence.
Development courses are available for the entry level referee through to those looking to continually improve their refereeing skills and knowledge and progress to the next level.

TFA has a six-tier accreditation system. Becoming an accredited referee is an important step in ensuring you are equipped with the knowledge of the rules of the game and skills to manage and create a safe and enjoyable environment for all. It is also a great way for you to create goals to work towards while you stay fit to participate in the game.
