Level 1 Officiating USA Rugby Referee Course – Norman, OK

For several years we have been experiencing growth in the game in this region. Unfortunately we have not been keeping up in the referee department. It is time to change all of that. We are hosting a clinic on Nov. 20th in Norman. The OU club has close to 10 men and women committed as of today. We need more to handle youth, college, men and women. This would be a great way for many of you out there to stay involved in the game and to help us grow the game we love.

We are also challenging the other clubs in the state to send at least 2 people. We have heard from a couple of high school clubs that they will send a person. Get the word out on this today and push the people at your local club.

Clinic starts at 8AM at the clubhouse on Saturday Nov. 20th.

Notes:
The Level 1 Course is the basic referee course. It covers the referee’s priorities, provides an introduction to the Laws of the game, risk management as well as examining scrums, rucks/mauls, tackles, line-outs, offside and advantage with focus on the critical aspects of the game and how to referee them. The course does not go through the Laws of the game page by page. There is an open book test at the end of the course which students will take on the day, so you will know when you leave whether or not you have passed. Attendees will need to wear comfortable clothing suitable for both classroom and on the field practical sessions.
