The Level 1 Officiating Course is the basic refereeing course. There are no prerequisites for attending this course and it is the sole training vehicle for the education of entry level referees as certified USA Rugby referees. The Level 1 Course covers the referee's priorities, provides an introduction to the Laws, and examines scrums, ruck/mauls, tackles, line-outs, 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. Students that do not pass will be given opportunities to retest onsite. The objective is to ensure Law knowledge, not to weed people out.
Upon completion of the course and successful passing of the open book test, you will be certified as a referee and can begin to officiate matches.
Please wear clothing suitable for activity, as we will be having practical session work throughout.
