Two Day Course

Our experienced course providers, referee coaches and senior referees present the course modules over two days (on a weekend). This will allow you to interact with fellow candidates and also have your questions dealt with straight away by our team.

The next weekend course has been scheduled for 31st March to 1st April.

After you complete the weekend course you will be recognised as a referee-in-training, and you will be able to referee rugby league matches. To gain your full accreditation you will need to undergo further coaching by the referees association and receive three satisfactory on-field assessments.

At the completion of the course you will be invited to attend an induction evening where we will outline Association policies and expectations, provide you with uniforms and answer any questions or concerns you (or your parents) may have. You will also be required to complete membership application forms to allow you to join the Penrith Referees Association and begin refereeing.

You will then be appointed to referee games in the Penrith Junior League area. We will provide coaching advice and assistance to you as well as complete the on-field assessments required for you to become accredited as a Level One Referee. You are also encouraged to attend Association training where we can assist with further coaching and skills development.

Succesful candidates who officiate with Penrith Referees Association will recieve complete on-field uniform (with the exception of football boots).
