LOGAN ADAMS
Year 11 student Logan Adams is a rising talent in refereeing. His performance in the field throughout 2025 led to him being recently invited to join the National Referee Academy. Only a very few aspiring referees are selected to participate in this program.
Logan will make his debut next year, refereeing NPL Men and Women’s Australian Championships along with the Emerging Socceroos and Matildas Championships.
Logan has been refereeing since July of 2024 and began with officiating U12 and U13 community matches. Persisting through the Junior National Premier League program, he was able to achieve games at the U19 and U23 levels as an Assistant Referee. He recognises refereeing provides a unique opportunity to learn new skills, practice communication and delivery under pressure and importantly, hone his leadership skills and confidence.
In 2026, Logan will travel extensively to Tasmania, Sydney and Regional Victoria throughout the year.
There’s a clear end goal for Logan to join the A-League in three years, enabling him to gain a FIFA badge then referee international competitions such as a World Cup within five years.
From Logan Adams: “I extend my appreciation to all my coaches, appointers, mentors, friends, teachers, and family who have supported me through my journey and have enabled my pathway to where I am now”.
Our congratulations to Logan. We look forward to seeing him on the field in 2026.
