BECOME A NEW KNOX SCHOOL REFEREE

Refereeing is a great opportunity for young people to be involved in sport, whilst being able to earn some pocket money on the side. KDFRA has an excellent support system in place for its young referees, with coaching, mentoring and training resources available to provide extra assistance for our young referees as they develop their skills. In addition, you will receive additional support from Knox Grammar School, and their KDFRA Representatives.

 

Referees aged between 14 and 18 will primarily be involved in refereeing junior football matches within the district. In addition, junior referees are encouraged to make themselves available to officiate as Assistant Referees (AR’s) on Men’s and Women’s senior competitions. This is a great opportunity to work with our senior members, and be exposed to a higher level of football in the Association. You will also have commitments to referee school matches for Knox Grammar School.

​

To become a referee, there is a $190.00 course fee, which includes the cost of becoming an accredited referee, your first year of membership, and also covers all of your uniform and equipment needed. Note that the usual course fee is $290.00, however this has been subsidised by Knox Grammar School.

​

If you are a new Knox School Referee, and have received confirmation of this from Mr Roche (roches@knox.nsw.edu.au), then please proceed below.
