Referees

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, as well as the latest on-field game information and skills to manage and create a safe and enjoyable environment for all. Refereeing is also a great way to remain fit and active whilst participating in our game... and did we mention, all our Referees get paid!

Devonport Touch Football, in conjunction with Touch Football Tasmania and NRL Touch Football, run regular accreditation courses as well as additional coaching and development opportunities for all Referees.

Information regarding upcoming referee courses will be posted to our social media pages and under our courses and social events page. If you wish to referee, please contact us for more information.
