USA Referee Levels Workbook

Here is a Google doc that Rosalind Anderson and the R&L Committee put together that lays out the performance expectations for the different referee grades.  The intro says:


In a perfect world, every beginning referee would take the field knowing every law and its proper application as well as understanding the difference between the perspective of a player and that of a match official.
In reality, referees begin with different knowledge and skill sets, and progression along the learning curve is varied. This creates challenges at the local level, between LROs wishing to assess and communicate referee ability and as referees strive to progress to higher level regional and national matches.
This workbook is a basic guide for the learning and assessment process. As such, it does not cover every law or situation, rather it focuses attention on skills in an order that facilitates even progress from basic to higher level processes and sets expectations for referees, referee coaches and teams about reasonable skills for referees at different levels.
This document is a beta version, meaning we will be adapting it as we learn from its application in the field. In addition, the document itself is "live" as we will add clips and resources as we find them as well as revisit it periodically to ensure it stays relevant to current World Rugby laws and directives.
