John Parker Honoured

John has developed, established, conducted and presented practical and theoretical training programs for young match officials. He has been responsible for the progression of a large number of officials; from the grass roots ranks into the upper levels of football officiating in both NSW and nationally.

John has been responsible for NSW match officials being selected by Football Federation Australia largely through his training, coaching and development and it is this contribution that has placed him at the very forefront of referee education in Australia.

He has contributed in a unique and positive way to the overall development of some 4000 officials through the programs he has developed and presented all while running his own private sector business.
Football NSW wishes to congratulate John on this fantastic achievement.
