Touch Football Victoria Announces New Referee Advisory Panel

Touch Football Victoria (TFV) is pleased to announce the introduction of the Victorian Referee Advisory Panel (VRAP). The VRAP will replace what was formally known as the Victorian Referee Panel. Touch Football Victoria would like to extend an enormous thank you to Tom Brown and the former Victorian Panel for their contributions to date.

With decades of combined experience and a shared vision for the future of Victorian Referees, TFV welcomes the following volunteers who will be working closely with Sports Operations over the next two years:

• Peter Cramp
• Jillian McRoberts
• James Addis
• Mitch Mackenzie

This change will allow Touch Football Victoria to take a more active role in prioritizing the recruitment, retention, and development of Victorian Referees and aligns with Touch Football Australia’s newly announced strategic direction. Touch Football Victoria is committed to enhancing the experience for referees and is looking forward to working with this new advisory panel to implement a sustainable approach to serving referees at all levels across the State.

For the upcoming Victorian Touch League, TFV has appointed the below coaching group to mentor, educate and enhance the overall referee experience during the competition:

• James Addis - (Lead Referee Coach)
• Peter Cramp
• Mitch Mackenzie
• Jillian McRoberts
• Leigh Bryant
• Giancarlo Leung
• Ken Golden (National)
• Sam Clark (National)

Victoria’s official Referee Coaching Panel has not been formalised and EOIs will open later this year.
