Broadstreet RFC

Do you have referees at your club who have completed the Entry Level Referee Award or its predecessor, the National Foundation Course? If so they may well benefit from the RFU's latest initiative to help develop match officials who referee at their own clubs and do not benefit from the ongoing development given to members of the Warwickshire Society. These officials are key part of the community game and their ongoing development is important, not only to themselves but also to the players who are in their charge. In recognising this the RFU has appointed me (Peter Tolan) your local Community Referee Development Officer. In this capacity I am approaching clubs to see if they wish to host an evening where one of the RFU's Referee Development modules will be delivered. These two-hour sessions can include development training on different areas of the game including the scrummage, the tackle, rucks and mauls, the line-out etc and will be of interest to all club referees and anyone else interested in the game. They are not only educational but also a good social occasion for those who officiate and want to polish their skills. Dates can be arranged to suit, and delegates from other clubs in the area could be invited. The cost will be just £5 a head to cover the cost of materials and overheads and the sessions can be organised on any evening to suit your club. Please let me know if you are interested by e-mailing me in the first instance at peter@pgtolan.plus.com. We can then discuss dates, the subject matter and other details. Thank you Peter Tolan
