How long have you been refereeing Futsal? 
Three Years. I have been through the academy with Nadia, where we focus on football for two terms and futsal for two terms. I started in Year 9.

Why do you Ref?
It helps develop confidence and maturity, gets me fitter and gives some good communication skills. Plus I earn a bit of money on the way. And I like giving back to players.

What's your memorable moments?
I like being involved in the faster-paced games.

Cliff Harris, WaiBOP's Futsal Development Officer, is full of praise for Ishaan. "I was with Ishaan over the weekend. He played a game then got changed into his official's uniform and refereed several games," said Cliff.

"I liked how he handled himself, and the respect the players gave him. This has been consistent both in the Bay and Waikato from the games I have viewed."
