The format is as follows:
Prework:
- Do a short quiz on the age grade regulations on http://www.rfuca.com
- Recommended that you do the IRB (World Rugby) laws of the game online test.
- Watch a number of short video clips and answer some reflective questions on the videos.
- Think about some self reflective questions regarding the principles of the game and how you think these might impact refereeing.
In Class: 3hrs
- Handout/Book split into two sections: A reference section for you to refer to after the course, and a workbook section which contains sections to fill in as you go through the 3hr course.
- First hour is spent in the classroom discussing and going through the workbook section above, and includes things like: identify the qualities of a good referee, identify the key requirements of refereeing children, and identify the behaviours, skills and knowledge of an effective children's referee.
- Last 2 hours spent on the pitch playing games and taking it in turns to referee and 'have a go', getting feedback from the instructors and other participants on how we felt it went.
- Back in to the class for a quick wrap up.
