10  REASONS  TO  QUALIFY  AS  A  TOUCH  REFEREE

  4. You could represent your country at top level tournaments around the world
  5. Your fitness will improve – imagine doing shuttle runs for forty minutes (and that’s just one game!)
  6. You will enjoy it – refereeing is fun!
  7. You will enjoy the great camaraderie that exists amongst Touch referees
  8. You will gain a sense of satisfaction from facilitating games and helping others

COURSE REGISTRATION
The level 1 Touch referee course is open to anyone aged 14 or above.  There are no pre-requisites, in fact, you do not even have to have played or refereed Touch before!

The course content consists of both practical and theoretical elements, so participants should wear suitable clothing for indoor and outdoor sessions.  NB - metal studs are not permitted in Touch, but trainers or plastic studs / blades are acceptable.

The course presenter is Kevin Hobbs, who is a level 5 Touch Referee and has officiated at the Touch World Cup and European Touch Championships as well as countless other international and domestic tournaments and competitions.

Kevin is also a member of the European Federation of Touch's referees panel and is one of the top Touch referee coaches in Europe.
