Referees

At Forster-Tuncurry Touch, we value our referee team as part of our club. Referees play a vital role in Touch Football, ensuring our game is played in a fair, safe and enjoyable environment for all participants. Quite simply: without referees, we can’t play!

Becoming a referee is a great way to remain fit and participate in our game. We require all of our referees to become accredited by at least attending a Foundation (Level 1) Referee course. Please refer to the NSW Touch website for more details on Touch Football Australia’s six-tier accreditation system.

Duty Referee

Forster-Tuncurry Touch Association utilises a Duty Referee system.

All referees need to report to the club house at least 15 minutes prior to the game. Buddy refereeing may be used which means both referees are not on the filed at the same time and you must interchange. This will be explained at the club house, including any specific rules for our competition.

Referee Uniform

Please wear your own t-shirt and shorts as you will be supplied with a referee vest for your game. Please wear football boots or similar to referee in.

Remember your whistle and water bottle.

Roster

If your name is not on the roster for this week, you will definitely get a game the following week. We have done the roster based on first in, first served. If your name is not here it is because our coordinator did not receive your confirmation. If you’ve discovered you have a game that clashed with your referee duty please contact our coordinator ASAP.

Stand By Referees 

Often we roster referees on as our reserves in case somebody is running late or is injured. You still get paid to be on ‘stand by’ so please don’t wander away from the club house area. If you arrive and don’t see your name on the roster but it was on the website please come and find our coordinator.

NSWTA Event Referees

Any referees who are interested in attending NSWTA events such as Junior or Senior State Cup please let our coordinator know. We also have gala days leading up to this tournament that we need referees for. If you’re keen, it’s great money and will improve your refereeing skills.
