Welcome to the Referee’s Page In time we hope this page will become an invaluable resource “or a Technical corner” for referees, coaches and those people needing a forum to discuss the subtleties, rules and officiating of the game of Touch Rugby! In the mean time, the world over we are looking for referees to get involved with In 2 Touch, as well as to make an input to this page! If you feel you have a contribution to make to this resource please contact Kirsten on kirst@in2touch.com or on 07913 22 10 21 (UK) or Jocelyn Tucker jtucker@sportsman.co.za or 011 888 7157 (SA). Who wants to be a touch rugby referee? That must be the question that gets asked most often by those people playing or even spectating a game of touch rugby, especially when the referee seems to cop flack on the pitch from all sides as if he can do no right! However as is well known without these devoted people who put there bodies (and ears) on the line week in and week out, there would be no game. Furthermore, refereeing can be very rewarding and there is nothing more satisfying that refereeing a match and having the players from both sides come up to you afterwards to comment positively about the way you handled things in the middle. Many people think that it is very easy to become a referee and in theory it is. If you are or have been a player who knows the rules very well then you certainly do have a head start in having the ability to understand the game, but this won’t necessarily make you a good referee. You also need level headedness, patience, compassion, confidence as well as a fair level of fitness. If you feel that you have the capacity and aptitude to be a good referee or you have already refereed in the past and are keen to get involved with reffing again In 2 Touch would like to hear from you. Especially if you have some form of formal touch rugby refereeing qualification i.e. Level 1, 2, 3 or 4.
