My Local Sports Bag – North Rocks Soccer Club

North Rocks soccer club is one of the biggest in the Hills Association who were kind enough to give us their playing kit. They are taking a strong stance on respecting referees. This is because the game, particularly at a community sport level, is losing them because they are receiving abuse. These referees are often quite young and maturing, so this abuse can have a negative effect on their mental health.

North Rocks also shared a piece of their club history with us, donating their 20-year anniversary book from back in 1985.
