FFA is not printing the Blue Log Books
anymore and have issued a paper based version which can be downloaded from
our website. I have modified it to suit as the format made it
difficult to print off.
To achieve FFA re-accreditation a range of activities must be undertaken by
officials during the currency of their FFA accreditation licence. These will
assist officials to keep up to date with such elements as the latest laws,
interpretations,
officiating techniques, strategies, policies, risk management, legal
responsibilities and expectations. This continuous education also provides
developmental pathways and programs for all officials and is essential for
the well-being and development of Football.
The log can be found
under "Members Information" on the main drop down menu
(0n the Home Page) and scrolling down to the sub menu "Referee's Documents" and then the sub sub
menu "Referee's Reports" and clicking on the word document symbol for
"FFA Officials Log Book". If you wish to download a copy of the
"Log Book" now then click on the following word symbol:GDSRA
