TAKE UP THE WHISTLE

To support the development of referees in the county BSRFUR have put together two training events kindly hosted by the following clubs;

Maidenhead RFC – 23^rd and 30^th November 2021, 7-9.30pm each night

Tadley RFC – 7^th and 14^th December 2021, 7-9.30pm each night

It is anticipated that delegates shall leave with an understanding of…

The true role, and expectations of a rugby referee

o Pre-match

o In game

o Post-match

• The laws as a framework & how to use them

• Confidence to have a go at refereeing

The event is aimed at volunteers and teachers yet to complete the England Rugby Refereeing Award (ERRA), however it may also serve as a refresher for those who have.

Attendance at both evenings is essential to maximise learning.

More importantly, it is not a replacement for the ERRA and we would expect all aspiring referees to complete the RFU course as they are scheduled.
