I just turned in my test to become a Level 1 Referee! How exciting!!! It takes a few weeks to get the certificate or whatever, but hopefully I will pass and I can start refereeing a few games here in Austin!
Check the info below if you are interested in becoming a referee, or are just interested in the steps.
The Introductory Level Referee course, Introducing Officiating, is required of and intended for potential referees who have yet to complete any referee certification course, particularly those individuals with little or no rugby experience.
Level 1 Referee certification is intended either for the neophyte referee who has completed the Introductory Level Referee course, Introducing Officiating, or for those beginning referees with sufficient rugby experience to have obtained authority to commence their referee training certification at the Level 1 Referee level. Level 1 Referee certification is required for all referees who referee any US match that potentially leads to a national championship. The fee for this course is $75.
Level 2 Referee certification provides more advanced referee training and is one prerequisite for attaining a C1 referee rating. Participants must have their Level 1 Referee certification in order to attend this course. The fee for this two day course is $100.
Level 3 Referee certification provides training for the elite level referee and is an intense intellectual examination of the modern game of rugby. This course is necessary to satisfy one of the requirements to earn a rating of B1 or above. Prerequisite for participation in the two day Level 3 Referee course is a referee rating of B3 or above, or status as an evaluator of B-panel and higher referees. The fee for this course is $150.
