REFEREES ROSTER
Nicole Saldern is our new referee co-ordinator for Friday nights. All refs will be put in a Whatsapp chat with Nicole for rostering purposes. Please email her with any queries- nicolesaldern@gmail.com
Dont forget your whistle! We will have some to purchase if you don’t have one.
Please be at your game 10 minutes before your game. If your running late message Nicole or Georgia so we know. Referees on standby either sit at the desk area or will be allocated a game to buddy ref. Please do not wander off as you’re also getting paid to be on standby.

GAME TIMES FOR SEASON 2024
All games are straight 25 minute games, touch down turn around rules. Under 7s will not do this, the manager or coach can toss a coin to see which way the team runs. If the referee feels they need a break blow the whistle and just take 2 minutes so they can rest and have a team talk.
All referees please report to the desk at least 10 minutes prior to your game. Some of you will be buddy refereeing which means we do not want 2 of you on the field at once, you must interchange. We will explain on your arrival. Drop off rule will also apply which we will remind everyone of.
IF YOUR RUNNING LATE- Please text us ASAP- You all have Nicole Salderns number.
STAND BY REFEREES- Often we roster referees on as our reserves incase somebody is running late or gets hurt. You still get paid to be on ‘stand by’ so please don’t wonder away from the desk area. If you arrive and don’t see your name on the roster but it was on the website please come and find Nicole.
- Any referees who are interested in going up to the Northern Conference JSC 2025 in February please let me know. We also have gala days around Sydney leading up to this tournament that we need refs for. If your keen its great money and will improve your refereeing skills. It is for rep teams from Under 10s to Under 18s.
referees- If your not on the roster for the week you will definitely get a game the following week. We have done the roster based on who texts first. If your name is not here it is because a message was not received before Wednesday morning. Please let us know If we have made a mistake anywhere!!
What to wear- Your own tshirt and shorts, you will be supplied with a referee vest for your game. Please wear football boots or similar to referee in.
If you’ve discovered you have a game that clashed with your referee duty please send me a text ASAP so I can replace you.
Remember your whistle on Friday!
