NORTH WEST SYDNEY FOOTBALL REFEREES ASSOCIATION

North West Sydney Football Referees Association (NWSFRA) is one of the largest associations in NSW with over 450 referees. Our referees are appointed to local grassroots competitions (NWSF), school matches, state competition football, such as Youth and Premier league. Based in the Ryde/Gladesville-Hornsby district, our match officials are trained, certified and assessed on their abilities to provide safe, fair, and enjoyable experiences for players, coaches, and spectators. Our referees are invested in the Football Referee Development Panel, NSW State League Football Referees Association, as well as Youth League and A-League Men's and Women's.

Appointments for 20-22 June are online

Tip of the week

As it gets cold, ARs are able to wear plain black jackets while they referee. The jacket cannot have local club logos. If you would like to purchase an NWSFRA spray jacket, please contact equipment@nwsfra.com.au. Centre referees cannot wear jackets while refereeing.

Happy birthday

to Lucas Nadile, Michael Wu, Spencer Jarratt, David Saba, Buckley Findlay, Hormuzd Ghadiali, Annika N Hare, Maximilian A Jackson, Safiya Yip, Ky Gilchrist, Jaxon Clarke, Nicholaos Kollias

News and Events

Dribl reminders - cards and completing teamsheets2024-06-17 08:11:56

Reminder for referees that Dribl must be completed after the game. If both teams have entered the score, it may already appear in the score section of the matchsheet, if the score is correct you can click ‘save’. You must still complete the matchsheet, entering the score is not enough.  

This is also a reminder that referees who repeatedly do not self-allocate to games on Dribl or complete teamsheets may be warned or fined. We prefer to avoid fines wherever possible however it is the responsibility of each referee to ensure that they are doing their duties on and off the field including completing sheets on Dribl.

Additionally, NWSF have requested that referees enter red cards into Dribl in the same way as yellow cards (i.e. select the player, offence and time and save). Reports must still be entered through the NWSFRA website not through Dribl.
