Hi Michael,
Thank you for your email
There is a Foundation course on Sunday Feb 28 at Footscray Rugby Club. The second Foundation Course is on March 28 at Melbourne Grammar.
The Foundation course is an education course for both Coaches and Referees. (Tyronne Mitchell is the contact) Tyronne.mitchell@vicrugby.com.au The application form can be found on our website.
Your club U8 and U10 coaches will need to attend the Coaching Kids Rugby Course (Date and venue TBC – Probably mid April).
We will again be running the Green Shirt Program in 2010. The Green Shirt Program was established in 2009 to try and increase the recruitment of Referees here in Victoria. The Green Shirt Program is a four hour education course which includes Smart Rugby (Minimum level Occ Health and Safety needed to Referee in Australia) and Referee specific elements which include, Law, running lines, Game Management and Hand Signals. Once a participant completes the Course the VRU in consultation with the club will appoint them to Referee a junior match, with a Mentor Referee also appointed to the match. Once a Referee completes the online exam and referees five competition matches an assessor competency asses the referee to become a level one Accredited Referee.
It is a competition Rule that for every two team entries (Inc. juniors) you must put one name forward to sit the Green Shirt Program. (ie. If you enter eight teams you must put 4 participants on the course).
If you have junior coaches (U12-U16) wanting to do an education course, Foundation is the way to go.
If you have club members interested in Refereeing wait for the Green Shirt Course (March/April)
I will talk more about the Coaching Kids Rugby Course (For U8 and U10 coaches) on Tuesday night. If you have an U10 coach who wants to attend the Foundation course, that’s fine, but he will also need to attend the Coaching Kids Rugby Course.
I hope this has helped.
Kind Regards,
Chris Evans
