Referee Development Roadshow

Water Polo NZ is excited to announce further details regarding our Referee Development Roadshow throughout October. This Roadshow aligns with the new development framework, ensuring all WPNZ members have access to basic rule knowledge and map out a clear path for Referees to develop their knowledge as they progress through the referee grades.

Current Qualified and Registered Referees
The Roadshow is the perfect time to get all qualified, offering C-Grade opportunities, along with B-Grade opportunities for those that are ready in select cities.

As a general rule, all currently qualified Referees will need to sit the new exam to have their qualifications transferred into the new framework. These exams are done in person, and they can register to attend any of the Roadshow dates (details below), or in future courses across the country.

To see how a current qualification transfers to the new framework, see details here.
