Right now this is structured as a blog because it's easy to collect stuff that way.  Posts are tagged in broad categories for ease of navigation and to guide future curation of this collection.

The TRRA does good webinars pretty frequently and posts them on their site.   A couple of them are unavailable when I click on them for some reason, but the content is available for most of them.

Topics include:
  • Referee Development Through Self Assessment
  • Tackling the Breakdown
  • Setting the Scrum
  • Assistant Refereeing
  • Effective Communication
  • Technical Zone & Assistant Refereeing

The Bay of Plenty referee society has a page with an online course on introduction to refereeing rugby.  There is a downloadable workbook and a series of videos.  The modules are:
Contents:
Introduction and Welcome
Module 1: The Role of the Referee
Module 2: Fixture Organisation
Module 3: Whistle! Signals! Verbals!
Module 4: Where do I stand?
Module 5: The Kicks of Rugby
Module 6: Tackle Ball carrier brought to ground
Module 7: Ruck and Maul
Module 8: Scrum
Module 9: Lineout
Module 10: Offside and onside in general play
Module 11: Foul Play
Module 12: Advantage, free kicks and penalty kicks
Module 13: Assistant Referee/Touch Judging
Module 14: Method of scoring – ingot


I don't love their list of reasons for becoming a referee, listed below.  I'm pretty sure it's not a comprehensive list.  But the course looks pretty good for a beginning ref.
  • Are You A Current Player Thinking Of Hanging Up The Boots?
  • Or Maybe You've Suffered An Injury But Still Want To Stay Involved?
  • Or Maybe You Weren't Very Good As A Player But Still Want To Contribute?

The USAR referees resources page also has a bunch of training videos like the one I posted yesterday on various topics.  At least some of them seem to also be available on Vimeo.  Let's see how many of them I can put on this post before Weebly complains.
