Referee Level 1 Course in Michigan – Saturday March 10, 2012

As the Michigan youth rugby movement continues to expand, we’re running short of referees, to the point where we won’t have referees to cover the entire season .  In light of this, Rugby Michigan (Michigan Youth Rugby Association) is holding an L1 Referee certification class in Okemos, MI on Sat, March 10 from 8am-4pm (Details below).   We’re keeping the cost of the course to the minimum to what USAR requires to cover the costs of documents, $50.
