Marcus became a referee in June 2021 after passing the Level 1 Referee course and has just achieved his Level 3 Referee accreditation!

“I started reffing simply because my kids needed refs at their youth games, having known minimal rules to where I’ve come today, I’m incredibly proud to be a part of the reffing community here at NRF. Thank you to all who have contributed to my learnings over the years!”

Congratulations on achieving your Level 3. An important step on the refereeing pathway!
