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 license.
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.
Green Shirt referees are permitted to referee at club-hosted competitions held in Western Australia under the supervision of accredited referees. These referees will be provided a loan Green Shirt for them to wear throughout the duration of the event. Participants in the Green Shirt program will be continually assessed by the Judo WA Referee Committee for advancement to their State C accreditation license and graduation from the Green Shirt program.
If you or your child wish to be considered as a Green Shirt referee for a particular club event, please speak to your club coach/representative who can get in touch with Judo WA to arrange green shirts for their event.
Alternatively, to be placed on a contact list for additional opportunities through the Green Shirt program, please use the link below to apply to be considered for Green Shirt refereeing opportunities.
Judo WA acknowledges and pays respect to all traditional custodians of the lands of which we practice judo throughout Australia. We pay respect to elders both past, present and emerging.
We are committed to a positive future for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and to honor their ongoing cultural and spiritual connections to this country and recognise the role and value of culture.
