RFU Referee Training
By Nigel Cowley, RFU Referee Development Officer (South West).
News dateline: 15th July 2008
The RFU is running an Entry Level Referee Award Course at Redruth RFC on Sundays 3rd & 10th August 2008.
The course is an ideal introduction to refereeing for all levels of referee from Mini/Midi right through the youth age groups and the adult game.
Bring yourself up to date with all the experimental laws. Get the season off to the right start for your club.
Details of the Entry Level Referee Award and booking forms can be found at this link.
The course (the Entry Level Referee Award or ELRA) takes place over two full days (9:30 to 4:00) and includes classroom discussion and practical elements. The emphasis is on how to referee rather than what to referee. The better referees know when not to blow the whistle!
The programme for the day includes a practical element and covers the following:
- Referee Roles, Responsibilities and Attitudes.
- Judgement and Materiality.
- Safety.
- Communication and Positioning.
- Problem Areas/Theory into Practice.
- Game Management and Control.
Remember, without the Referee there really wouldn't be a game!
