“Really good course, clear explanation of the rules and excellent description of how to relate in practice.”
Aoife Cooper – Attendee (Woolwich Arsenal Tag Rugby Player)
“Professional and well run for both the experienced and the newer officials.”
Paul Cunningham – Attendee (Qualified Full Contact / Tag Rugby Ref)
“The tag rugby referee course was really informative and well worth doing. Not only useful for aspiring referees but players as well. If you come from a Rugby Union/contact background the rules are vastly different so this is a good way to get your head round the rules off the field. Highly recommend to anyone involved in Tag Rugby.”
Simon Burke-Kennedy – Attendee (Experience Full Contact / Tag Rugby Player)
“Course was excellent. It was thoughtfully presented and everyone there learned from it.”
Martin O’Donnell – Attendee (Exceptionally experienced tag rugby ref currently reffing Royal Arsenal Rugby Club games and NCR Tag Rugby leagues)
