Yesterday at King George V playing fields we held an England Rugby introduction course to refereeing. The course provided development and learning around refereeing Rugby Union safely and effectively. Students learnt the basics of how to referee a number of elements of the game and how to; communicate effectively with players, coaches and volunteers, to ensure that everyone involved is playing in a safe and enjoyable environment. 

This Officiating Award is aimed at gifted and talented rugby players aged 14+ (Year 9 & above) who show high quality leadership skills and who are ready to take their first step into the officiating of rugby union.

These students will now be helping to officiate the Y7 Cunningham Cup Rugby Festival on Friday 28th March 2025.
