WRU Level 1 Referees course being held in North Wales - PLACES STILL AVAILABLE - please consider taking up the whistle
Aspiring rugby referees will get the chance to gain a qualification that will allow them to take charge of competitive matches.
Rydal School will be hosting a Welsh Rugby Union Level 1 course on Sunday, October 8, which will run from 9.30am until 3.30pm at New Field on Walshaw Avenue in Colwyn Bay.
As a formal introduction to the principles of officiating, the course aims to get applicants started refereeing.
At a basic level, the course outlines the Laws of the Game and how they should be applied to a match, answers and clarifies general questions about refereeing and discusses the position(s) that referees should take throughout the course of a game.
At the end of successfully completing the course, applicants will have gained a Level 1 Referee Licence and will be clear to referee matches at Junior Level, U16 Level and below and Schools Rugby.
Without the Level 1 Referee Licence, a person cannot referee a match, and the cost of the course is £30.
There are no age restrictions for those wanting to gain the qualification, although WRU rules state you must be aged 16 or over to referee.
