Foundation Coaching & Refereeing Course

The ARU & RugbyWA have introduced a beginner level course which combines refereeing and coaching. This is called a Foundation Course. This course will be recognised by the ARU and RugbyWA as the first step in qualification, but not an official accreditation through the Australian Sports Commission.  The one day course is education focused with no follow up testing or tasks.  It is designed to be "user friendly" with the aim to educate as many participants as possible in best practice coaching and refereeing.

All attendees of this course will be qualified in the eyes of RugbyWA to coach and referee at all junior and some senior levels.

If individuals wish to go further and become Level 1 accredited for either coaching or officiating they will now be required to achieve a minimum level of competency.  If the individual feels they are up to this level, they can apply to undergo Level 1 assessment.  Participating in the Foundation Course is NOT a requirement to be assessed for Level 1 accreditation (although the education content of the Foundation does help in passing).

Level 1 assessment involves the completion of exams combined with in the field assessment.

The next available Foundation Courses in the Perth Metro Area are listed below:

Date	Venue	Time
Saturday, 7 February 2009	McGillivray Oval, Mt Claremont	8:00am - 5:00pm
