MWFA offers a number of FREE Game Leader (unofficial referee) workshops each season for parents or even older siblings of MiniRoos who are willing to help out in this role on match day, or who might be willing to if armed with a bit of knowledge and guidance on what being a Game Leader involves. These courses run for approximately 60 minutes and cover the rules, practical scenarios and provide Q&A opportunities.
Please note that the Manly United Game Leader courses are specifically for the Mixed Junior Development League and Girls Junior Development League Game Leader roles only. The rules and regulations for these leagues are different from those of the Manly Warringah Football Association (MWFA)
A variety of dates and locations are available across the Northern Beaches leading up to and just after the beginning of the season. Please see details below for the 2026 season.
