Refereeing
Referees play a vital role in Touch Football, ensuring our game is played in a fair, safe and enjoyable environment for all participants.
Becoming an accredited referee is an important step in ensuring that you are equipped with the knowledge of the Rules of the game, but also the latest on-field game information, and skills to manage and create a safe and enjoyable environment for all. It is also a great way to remain fit and active and participate in our game.
Touch Football Australia has a six-tier accreditation system.
