Laws of the Game

Welcome to Football Australia's online Laws of the Game. This free online training module provides you with a basic introduction to the Laws of the Game and their interpretations.

This course is primarily aimed at those who are wanting to become a referee, but is also available to coaches, parents and players who are simply wanting to gain a better understanding of the Laws of the Game. After completing the course participants will receive a certificate which will allow them to continue on the refereeing pathway and attend the Football Australia Level 4 Referee course.

It is important to note that this course is a pre-curser to the Football Australia Level 4 Referee course and on its own does not provide you with any official Football Australia refereeing accreditation.
