Referees

Junior Referees School (for ages 12 to 16) teaches the basics of refereeing – on-court positions, calling fouls and violations, and administering the game – in a classroom situation, and then you get to go out on court in one of our various competitions to learn the practical side of refereeing.Junior Refs’ School runs for approximately 8 weeks of 90 minute sessions, which involve class teaching and on-court sessions. Currently referee school runs twice a year on either a Monday afternoon or Saturday morning. The cost to enrol in Junior Refs’ School is $40.00, which includes: FOX40 whistle, rule book, and notes for the course.

We run regular basic level training when our competitions commence, which teaches the basics of refereeing – on-court positions, calling fouls and violations, and administering the game. We then take you out on the courts over the next few weeks and get you refereeing games with experienced partners.. To get involved, email us to place your name on the list for either our Senior Beginners course or the Junior Referees School or give us a call on 02 9707 1866.
