The cost is £15. Bookings can be made individually online via http://www.englandrugby.com/my-rugby/courses/ however we are now also able to make a block booking as a club. Therefore Mike will collate names. If you wish to attend please send him an email with your name as per your RFU registration (if you have one) and the course you want to attend. He will need to have numbers as the RFU tend to cancel courses if not sufficient attending 5 days before a course, and any cancellations may also impact on us running more courses at Southport.

The minimum age for the entry level in both coaching and referee courses is 14, with the proviso that the individual is “directly supervised by appropriately trained adult when coaching / refereeing until age of 18 is reached”.

For those seeking to complete further coaching courses, such as Level 1, Level 2 and CPD events, all the details are on the RFU website above.
