TRAINING AND COACHING NIGHTS Referee Training Sessions Northern NSW Football Referees hold fitness training nights every week during the season at the Hunter Sports Centre, Glendale. Training will commence this year on Tuesday 18 January 2022 and will initially run every Tuesday and Thursday night from 6.00pm to 7.00pm, excluding any public holidays, until the end of daylight saving. All sessions will be held either inside the facility on the ground surrounded by the athletics track or on the outside grass field adjacent to the carpark.
When daylight saving ends in early April 2022, training will then be held only on Thursdays, still from 6.00pm to 7.00pm. Training for the year will conclude in September after next season’s finals series matches have been played.
All referees are encouraged to attend these training sessions to network with fellow referees, improve or maintain fitness levels and improve their practical refereeing skills. The training sessions consist of both fitness work as well as skills sessions run by our fitness trainers.
Referee Coaching Nights Northern NSW Football holds regular referee coaching nights throughout the year for our different referee coaching groups. These are held on Monday nights at the Lake Macquarie Regional Football Facility starting at 6pm and concluding at around 7:30pm. The nights are an opportunity for referees to receive coaching and feedback, ask any questions they may have and network with their fellow match officials.
In 2022, Premier Competition youth referees can attend additional coaching sessions to be held at the Lake Macquarie Regional Football Facility on one Tuesday night each month during the season.
