have exceptional, up to date knowledge of The Laws of the Game.
GDFRA strongly support Referees' Development.
Our aim is to
recruit, retain and continuously develop sufficient qualified referees to
meet the current and future needs of the game. We wish to raise the
quality, status and benefits of refereeing, for the good of Members and
in the interests of the game.
Refereeing can be an exciting and challenging position
providing you with the best seat in the game. So
whether your wanting to give back something to the sport you
love, earn some extra pocket money or have ambitions of
refereeing local, State, National or International levels,
this is where you can start.
Refereeing is not just about knowing the Laws of the Game,
but also applying them correctly, understanding how the game
unfolds, player management and your own personality.
It also helps to develop lift skills and confidence,
maintains and improves fitness levels without the bumps and
bruises that players sustain. If you are
interested in becoming a referee please contact our secretary by
emailing:
secretary@gdfra.org.au
Meetings are held on
the second Monday of each month at Merrylands Bowling and
Sporting Club Oxford Street, Merrylands.
