Could You Be The Ref?

15/1/2015

Are you a keen runner or jogger?

Are you looking to keep fit?

Are you looking to stay in shape? (maybe the Christmas pudding is a little bit harder to lose)

Maybe you would like to give something back to the club and community?

Why not do all the above and become a club referee. You don’t need to have played rugby and you don’t have to understand all the laws as this is part of the course.

There's a course coming up at Hackney Marshes at the end of February. You have to be over 14 years of age. Please contact Mary Impey for more information via maryimpey@btinternet.com

Becoming the referee is massively rewarding. It will boost your self-confidence, give you a greater understanding of rugby and is essential to the game - with no referee we have no game.

Upcoming coaching courses

15/1/2015

Thanks to all those coaches who gave up their evenings this week to attend two courses at Springhill recently. Both evenings they were out on the cold, wet and muddy pitches under the floodlights learning how to use the backs more effectively and how to teach good scrum technique. Well done!

Monday February 23 is our Safeguarding course for all volunteers and helpers, especially coaches and first aiders. It's an interesting evening and is obligatory for all those involved with our players. The course will run from 7-10pm. Please email Mary Impey to book your place on maryimpey@btinternet.com. Early booking is advised as these courses are always much in demand.
