We are urgently in need of more REEFEREES for Monday and Wednesday fixtures. We encourage everyone to have a go. Refereeing is an excellent way of achieving fitness and better knowledge of the rules.

Don't sit back and expect others to referee your games if you're not prepared to give them the same courtesy. Refereeing is not for everyone but you'll never know if you don't give it a go.

Brad, Melissa and Daniel have left photos but not too sure if that's Tammy on the surfboard.

RTA has always worked under a code of conduct and from the commencement of the 2009 Winter season, this code of conduct will be more strictly applied.
