Get a jump start on your 2018 referee season. Take your skills to the next level. Participate in the largest youth and high school rugby tournament in the Western Hemisphere!
The KOT Referee Training Program(Friday, Jan 26, starting 10am at Sac St) presents a unique opportunity the day before the tourney. Six hours of skill building, including on-field work and coaching under top referees from the U.S. and Canada. And stress free!
Our International Referee Development Program is the perfect bridge between Level 1 certification and success on the field. You will be able to discuss new laws and the updated concussion protocol. Our ref coaches will take you from pre-match communication to the subtleties of advantage, with focus on best practices for refereeing the breakdown, scrums and line-outs. You’ll be able to ask questions and get instant feedback.
Then get your kit on for two days on the pitches in Rancho Cordova (tournament ref jersey and matching socks provided). You’ll be in the company of 50 referee colleagues and more than a dozen coaches on Saturday and Sunday, January 27 and 28. The tourney is sponsored by the Sacramento Valley Rugby Foundation. Stay over Saturday night and attend our fabulous Referee Banquet (Number 1’s required!). Billeting and discounted hotel rooms in the ref hotel available, just ask!
