By the end of the session all referees and coaches will have:
· Had the trial engagement sequence explained
· Understood the rationale behind the changes
· Discussed implications for referees; coaches; players and ‘the game’
· Agreed a checklist for referees & coaches when working with the scrum –with a view to ensuring a safe and positive scrum
· Identified a collective positive approach to the scrum
West Yorkshire Refs Society have agreed to open this session to all coaches and referees in the area and this is an ideal opportunity for Coaches and Referees at all ages and standards to attend.
No pre-registration is required, but it would help to have an idea of numbers from each club if possible.
