Last week's session on DOGSO and SPA left Canterbury Refs perfectly placed to weigh in to debates about FA Cup calls. Each week we cover topics like game management, positioning, advantage, handball etc. and new knowledge is applied to video analysis from local, NPL, A-League, or international games.
Tonight: Upstairs at Magpies Sports Club
46 Hampton St, Croydon Park
6.30 PM - 8.00PM⚽️👨🏫
No need to register - just turn up. 😀
