Local Referee Qualification 

This is the first offical step on the referee pathway. To become a locally qualified referee a candidate must complete the theory course, pass a simple test and be practically assessed.

CVA runs the theory component in conjunction with our wonderful hub referee schools. 

- Lincoln High School

- Cashmere High School

- Middleton Grange

- Christchurch Boys High School

- Rangiora New Life

- Riccarton High School

Theory courses & the test are scheduled in November each year (prior to Canterbury Juniors) and February each year (prior to Mainland Champs, Canterbury Seniors, School Nationals and Satellite).

The practical assessment takes place at one of the school tournaments.

If your school is interested in becoming a local referee hub school please get in contact with us for more information - office@cva.nz.
