In order to enable clubs to comply with the new requirements in the by-laws with regards to Marking & Refereeing Level 2 qualifications, the NSA has arranged 7 course dates.

The Association will sponsor the R80 per player for the course to a maximum of 2 players per team per league. If the player doesn’t pass the exam he will have to pay to do the course again.

Clubs will handle the administration and collection of any fees from players as they deem fit or in cases where more than 2 players per team want to attend a course. Players must register individually online. Clubs will be invoiced for the number of attendees exceeding the allowance of 2 per team.

Invoicing for Juniors who aren’t playing league will be handled in conjunction with the NJSA.

If we have received less than 20 bookings per session 3 days before the session date, the session will be canceled.

Download the guide and study it to prepare for the course to make it much more enjoyable and efficient: Guide – M&R – Getting it Right (2019) v1.5Please note no printout will be provided at the course. Print your own and bring it along.
