The UHA is calling on any and all parties interested in being a non playing or playing referee for the upcoming 2020 Nationals in Sydney.
We are especially keen for players who may have just missed the cut, are injured but could still referee or anybody who wants to develop their refereeing long term. If you are on this space, you can still be a part of Nationals!
Some may ask "what is in it for me?" well, so far this year Australia have sent referees to worlds in Sheffield, UK, Two comps in China and about to send referees to the SEA Games in the Philippines. We are also about to run a referee course in China.
So, if you love the game, and would like to get involved, Nationals is the starting point.
For more information, please email Angus at referee@underwaterhockeyaustralia.org.au and let me know what you want to do!
