Southern Cross Football Centre – 32 Crawford Road, East Lismore.
Cost & Inclusions:
The fee for this course is $50, to be paid directly to FFNC by direct deposit into their bank account. This is inclusive of NNSWF’s $35 course fee in addition to Football Far North Coast (FFNC) providing a whistle, law book, printed materials and lunch.
FFNC will REFUND the full $50 fee for all those who complete the course and then subsequently register to become an active match official this year (more details will be provided at the course). The registration fees to become an active FFNC match official in 2018 will be $120 for juniors (18 years and under) and $150 for seniors (19+ years) and FFNC is also pursuing a way of easing that cost as part our strategies and objectives to deliver better outcomes.
