WP holds refs course

This course is not exclusively aimed at referees only.  Coaches, scholars over the age of 16, other interested persons and parents are also welcome to do the course, especially those parents refereeing junior matches.  Schools will be held liable for any injuries to players should the referee of that match not be qualified. 

Only persons who have successfully completed the course may purchase and wear the WP Schools rugby jersey (especially designed for referees) during matches. 

The course will be held on Tuesday 26 and Wednesday 27 June 2007 with an exam on Thursday, 28 June.
