Referee Coach Accreditation
Referee Coaching offers continued involvement in the game, either as an alternative to becoming a Referee or once your refereeing days are over.
A well-structured pathway allows you to become a Referee Coach at the Elite level and in some instances an international performance reviewer of referees.
Training for Referee Coaches commences with a one day program that provides basic information on the role of the Referee Coach.
All accreditation lasts for 4 years and all referee coaches must maintain their SmartRugby qualification every 2 years.
