We are the MPFC Referee Team….. Like everyone in the Monaro family, referees are passionate about football and we are lucky enough to have a great referee team made up of players past and present who have represented Monaro or played across Australia in NPL, WPL, Community and Masters leagues, amongst others. Some have even represented as referees at the national junior level. We work together and learn from each other’s mistakes and successes, are passionate about the club, and seek to have fun.
Becoming a Referee: New referees are welcome any time however most qualifications and skills refresher courses are run between February and April each year in preparation for the new season and all registrations, courses and training are managed through the Capital Football Referee team.

Remember Football is a game played with RESPECT…. No doubt like any great players they make mistakes – some go unnoticed, others not so – but remember they are there also to celebrate the game they love, like you. So next time have the opportunity to you cheer or play for your team, and celebrate a win or lament the loss, take 2 mins to thank the referee for being there too.
