The Florida Rugby Referees Association (FRRA) will offer the Level 1 Officiating Course which 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 One Course covers the referee’s priorities, provides an introduction to the Laws, and examines scrums, ruck/mauls, tackles, lineout’s, 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 which will be administered on the day, 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 and to assure that the understanding of the course material has been met.
However, this is just the first step in a referee’s education, but it is the necessary beginning. The course by itself is useful for coaches and players, in addition to the primary goal of starting people as referees. Students who pass the examination and then become active referees will be reimbursed the Course Fee by Florida Rugby Union (FRU) after they have refereed a minimum of five matches.
