MARFU Policy (applicable for the EPRU, PRU and VRU), effective January 1, 2004:
All clubs (men's & women's clubs, men's & women colleges, boys' & girls' high school teams) will be required to have as a coach an individual that is certified at USA Rugby's Level I (minumum standard); the only exception is Youth (defined as an Under-15 team). After January 2004, a club that doesn't have an individual coaching them certified at Level I would be denied a referee. In lieu of this 2004 requirement (for a new coach-only), the club must have their coach registered at the next MARFU sponsored coaching clinic; if the coach fails to attend the clinic, referees will not be assigned and any referees already assigned will be re-allocated.

USA Rugby to Host Women's Referee Development Camp in Philadelphia

September 5-7, 2008

USA Rugby’s Referee Development Department, in conjunction with the New York Referees Society, is pleased to announce it will hold a women’s referee development camp September 5-7, 2008. The camp will coincide with the PumpkinFest Tournament in Philadelphia, PA.

Instructors for the camp include: National Panel Referee Manager Richard Every; international referee Dana Teagarden; National Panel referee coach Jem McDowall, and others.

The camp is a product of USA Rugby’s Referee Education grant program, which will allow female referees from across the country to take part in classroom and practical application sessions throughout the weekend.

The Referee Education grant program was developed in 2007 by USAR’s Referee Development Department to help financially support referee training, recruitment, and educational endeavors at the local level.

Those interested in receiving financial support via the grant program should visit www.usarugby.org/goto/referee and fill out the Referee Education grant application.

For more information on the camp, contact clinic coordinator Nicole Sadgrove (nicolerugbyny8@yahoo.com).

For more information on the Referee Education grant program, contact USA Rugby Match Official Administrator Jennifer Gray (jgray@usarugby.org).
