Why Level 2?
· The course deals with the more technical aspects of refereeing including positioning and development.
· The expected accreditation level for any active referee.
· Will be a criterion for society grading and level of games for which you are eligible.
· Good for 4 years (and see information below regarding recertification).
Costs?
· Level 2 Referee Clinic $150
· Rugby Canada Membership + T&DRRS Membership $230 ($195 for students)
- The biggest part of this is your insurance, which is mandatory for refereeing.
· Cost for this season to become an active Level 2 referee: about $380
Rewards?
· Level 2 referees typically receive $50 per match
· You’d need to referee about 8 games to pay off your season’s fees.
· For TRU matches there is also a partial reimbursement for mileage travelled.
· Development of your refereeing skills - everyone wants to be a better ref!
Future plans for Level 2 Referees:
We hope to be moving towards a “continuity based re-certification” process for future Level 2 re-certification of T&DRRS referees (see next paragraph). Yet another reason to get in on your Level 2 qualification…
Adapted From Rugby Canada’s Match Official Accreditation Policy:
Level 2 Recertification
Level 2 certified referees do not have to repeat their program provided they have maintained continuity* with the sport. In order to be eligible for re-accreditation a Level 2 referee must have been an active participant in the sport and must have addressed certain reaccreditation expectations monitored by each of the Provinces.
There will be four components to the re-accreditation process, including:
· an activity component involving participation as a Referee, Assistant Referee and/or Referee Coach;
· an in-service development component that requires attendance and participation at Referee clinics, conferences, seminars, workshops and/or development meetings;
· completion of updated Law examinations; plus,
· a fitness component.
*Continuity: Registered with Rugby Canada during some, or all, of the accreditation period but definitely during the last year of the four year period.
