The Level 1 Referee Course is the basic course. It covers the referee’s priorities, provides an introduction to the Laws, and examines scrums, ruck/mauls, tackles, lineouts, offside, and advantage with focus on the critical parts and how to referee them. When a student has completed this course, and the accompanying test, they are ready to begin refereeing safely. This is just the first step in a referee’s education, but it is the necessary beginning.
The course will consist of classroom work for the first session. Please dress appropriately and be prepared for some mild physical activity.
The course also includes as short Law Test which must be completed online, with five additional safety questions to be answered during the course. The intention is that the test will serve to familiarize the student with the Law Book and how to use it. The instructor(s) will work with anyone who does not pass the first time so they will achieve the desire understanding.
Students will receive a Law Book, Course Manual, whistle, cards (red and yellow) and a copy of Rugby Refereeing in Practice.
