There is a way to enjoy the sport of futsal, with a low risk of injury, a good chance to improve your fitness, to be involved in the game at a fundamental level and to make a little bit of pocket money on the side.

Become a futsal referee. It's a chance to really learn the game and perhaps move through the ranks to the height of FIFA officialdom.

Upcoming courses include:

New Referee's Course:
Riverstone Leisure Centre
Cnr Hamilton St and Garfield Rd, Riverstone
December 2nd (9am-2pm) & 3rd (2:30-5:30pm review & exam)

The course costs $50. Sitting referees will receive a law book and highlighter pen for the course. On completion, another $150 gets your membership, along with the two NSW Futsal Referees jerseys, shorts and socks.

As long as you are 14 years old, you are eligible. Have some fun while joining in the fraternity that is part and parcel of refereeing.

For more information fill in the feedback form and select the "become a ref" feedback type. Please include information such as your name, your suburb, age and any relevant information that you think may help the association organising the course.
