Become the most important person on the field

It does not matter how many players you have , how well trained they are, and what positions they play in - without a referee they'll never get a game.

The girls' game in particular is always short of officials - so why not encourage a few volunteers at your club to get qualified?

A Mini / Midi Referee Course is being run at University of Hertfordshire De Havilland Campus(Hatfield) on Saturday 7th October. Coaches, parents and ex-players are all welcome.

You owe it to yourself and the players under you to make sure you are fully up to date with the Laws of the Game and covered with reference to the Child Protection Act and “Duty of Care” .. no matter if it’s Mini/Midi or the 15-a-side game – junior or adult then here’s a chance to obtain full official accreditation from the Rugby Football Union

Whether it be only to referee members of your own club or join a referee society and referee at the highest levels, then this course will get you an RFU accreditation to help you do so!

Contact: Bill Ractliffe 01727 766987 or 07710 058187 or bill.ractliffe@ntlworld.com for details.
The Mini / Midi Referee course on the 7th is designed for anyone wishing to referee any game from Under 7s through to Under 12s, but there are other courses coming up as well for other age groups. Contact Bill for details.

Please note the closing date for the above course is Monday 11 September. Cost £30 – includes all course literature, worksheets, Law Books and official RFU Accreditation documents.
