The Newcastle Rugby Foundation along with England Touch Association are excited to announce a Touch Rugby referees CPD on the 19th May at Kingston Park Stadium from 6:30pm until 8pm.

The CPD will predominantly be practical based, with referees being put in the middle of the the touch pitch learning to referee the game. Touch Rugby refereeing is mainly dual refereeing where by 1 referee is in control on the pitch whilst the second referee runs a touch line assisting with the 7m offside line and you can swap at anytime to give each other rest due to the fast pace of the games.
This dual style of refereeing is a great way to improve fitness and get back to officiating games of rugby.

Following on from the CPD the Newcastle Rugby Foundation will be hosting their Summer of Touch 8 week league starting on the 9th June at Kingston Park.
