Further Information - Referee Information/Courses Level 1
An integral part of every game of rugby played ranging from the International stage to Community and age grade spheres, referees and match officials perform the pivotal role in ensuring that Wales's national sport, and arguably chief love continues to thrive week in week out.
Though the person in the middle may sometimes appear to have a thankless job, the vocation of match refeering offers social, health and fitness benefits to the individuals who take up these important positions.
Refeering dictates that you are at the heart of the action on the playing field; effectively; no referee, no match. This fast paced and challenging role draws not only ex-playerts and coaches into the realms of match refeering but also supporters and spectators who want to be closer to the action.
Referees require excellent management skills and the ability to make crucial decisions under, at times, large amounts of pressure. Referees uphold the laws of the game not only to guarantee a fair contest but also, as in scrummaging, to keep the game clean and safe. A sound knowledge of the game of rugby and good degree of general fitness are also desirable for this adrenaline-fuelled and highly rewarding role but can be picked up easily enough with practice.
The varying levels of refeering courses delivered by the WRU enable prospective referees and touch judges to start, or build on, the skills necessary to become a bona fide, qualified match official. If you relish the thought of providing an invaluable service to players and supporters alike, maintaining your fitness levels within a purposeful role and perhaps rising to the top of the refereeing rankings. Refereeing courses are regularly published on the WRU website, www.wru.co.uk.
