Training

The NLDRURS offers training and development to its members and other referees throughout the NLD through a dedicated Training and Development (T&D) team. The team is headed by the Society Match Official Development Officer (SMODO). The T&D team work to develop referees in all manner of ways from identifying and accelerating high-potential referee to ensuring all referees operate safely.

Training Meetings

The T&D Team run regular training meetings during the season. This season, these are being held at different clubs in each of our regions as well as being streamed live to ensure we reach as many members as possible. The remaining 2022/23 dates are as follows:

  • Thursday 27th April, Lincoln RFC, 1930-2100
  • Tuesday 16th May, Belper RFC, 1930-2100
  • Tuesday 20th June, Newark RFC, 1930-2100

Gradings
