Calling All Walking Football Referees – Join the Walking Football Movement!
Are you a football referee? Did you know there are over 50 rule differences between running football and walking football?
As the sport of walking football continues to grow, so does the need for qualified referees to support our expanding community.
WFNSW is proud to have Referee Director John Hanley leading the way in developing the referee course specifically designed for walking football and a modified version for WalkSoccer.
Whether you aspire to become a referee or simply want to deepen your understanding of the game, obtaining referee qualifications benefits everyone and contributes to the growth and success of walking football.
