DETAILS
The aim of the Refereeing Kids Rugby course is to provide potential referees with the ability to facilitate a game of U8 to U12 rugby safely and fairly.

The course content is specifically targeted towards the realities of rugby at the younger ages of U8-U12 and not toward U13+ or adult levels of rugby.

Session 2: 2.5 hours is spent applying knowledge and theory to practical, field based scenarios.
This course also covers the requirements of SmartRugby.
