Malton and Norton RUFC

Referees! Your sport needs you.
Can you help? If so, across the country, we're desperately short of referees and Societies are struggling to cover lots of fixtures on a Saturday and Sunday, as well as mid-week. With this in mind, we are looking to recruit more refs into the game!

It can be a flexible arrangement alongside playing/coaching/teaching with referees able to set their own availability and travel time preferences. For example, can you help cover a lower XV game within your club that wouldn’t usually get a ref? Can you help the club down the road? If you can only do 1 game a month like this, we would love to take you up on your offer.

We've changed the format of the course now, so face-to-face day 1 includes the safety elements of refereeing with all the basics to get you started. After day 1 we actively encourage you to get out and referee games, whether this is within your club or your local referee society. Joining your local society can help you with supporting your development between contact days, as well as giving you a great community to learn from and engage with. As well as the face to face days, there are numerous distance learning tools such as webinars and group reflection sessions to engage with to support you along your journey.
 
Our new format gives new referees even more support, as well as the opportunity to learn alongside gaining practical experience out in the field officiating matches during the season
