Green Shirt Beginner Referee Program
A practical pre-accreditation pathway for beginner referees of all ages — working toward State C licence.
Overview
The Green Shirt Referee Program is a practical pre-accreditation program aimed at developing and training beginner referees, of all ages, to ultimately attain their State C licence.
This program also aims to create and develop the supportive culture required to make refereeing a valued and attractive pathway to engagement and participation in judo in Western Australia.
How does the program work?
