Become a Referee
Want to get fit? Want to earn some extra money? Want to learn the rules of the game? Then the Townsville Touch Referees Association NEEDS YOU!
Referees play an integral role with all Touch Football competitions, ensuring our game is played in a fair, safe and enjoyable environment for all participants. Love them or loathe them, there would be no games without them!
While it's not for everyone, refereeing is an extremely rewarding experience for many people. Referees are considered some of Touch Football's most dedicated and highly regarded participants.
The Townsville Touch Referees Association pays referees for giving up their time to officiate over matches during the season and for some it can be very rewarding.
Accreditation
Apart from being paid to referee, attending a referees course is a great way to learn the rules of touch football, and can aid players in their understanding of the game.
If you referee more than three (3) games in a season, you should consider attending the four (4) hour Level One Referee course to gain formal accreditation as a referee.
Becoming accredited is easy and is done via Touch Football Australia's "The Nest".
