You’re part of football in Nelson & Tasman — so you’ll know how important referees are to keeping the game going. Right now, we’re facing a serious shortage. There are only 13 active referees across the region, and without more support, games will start to be affected. So, we’re reaching out to players (and even former) players, members and football friends like yourself because you already understand the game — and you’re exactly who we need.

Why consider refereeing?
- Stay involved in football without the full commitment of playing
- Earn $25–$50 per game
- Keep fit and active
- Give back to the local football community
- Flexible – referee as much or as little as you like

And getting started is simple…
- Complete a free Level 1 referee course (online + short practical session)
- Get support and mentoring in your first few games
- Start refereeing within 1–2 weeks

You won’t be thrown in alone — we’ll support you every step of the way.

Why this matters?
Quite simply: No referees = no games !
By stepping in, you’re helping ensure football continues for players across the region. Interested?

Please send an email to the Nelson Referee’s Association:

If you’ve ever thought about giving refereeing a go — even just occasionally — now is the time!
