Young Match Officials are the future of officiating

Young Match Officials are essential to the Match Officiating community, not only as the next generation of match officials locally, nationally and even internationally, they are often essential to the diverse range of community rugby competitions in schools, colleges, universities and the age-grade game.

For more information on developing a young match officiating scheme, please visit the Keep Your Boot’s On website here.

“Going to university and moving away from home to another town or city is a time when many Young Match Officials are lost to our game. But with support of the RFRU Network, we hope to be able to help officials moving from one society to another with ease to continue their refereeing journey with ease”
— John Pearson, International Referee
