The NZRU and ACC combined course is compulsory so that you are aware of the safety needs of your players. As well as the safety and injury prevention components of RugbySmart it is an excellent resource for coaches of all levels. The course and takeaway DVD provides coaching tips and safe techniques for your players. There are RugbySmart courses run as part of other courses e.g. the NZRU Coaching Teenage (College) Rugby course or the Associate Referee course.

In North Harbour we encourage every junior team to have their own registered Associate Referee. We see this important as it enables the coach to enhance the junior players understanding of the Principle of the Laws. It also allows the coach to enjoy his or her role more without the extra responsibility of refereeing games. The Associate Referee Course is designed to provide the basic technical knowledge and practice officiate a game from J8 (Under 6) through to Under 21. The course takes approximately 2½ hours and participants will receive the NZRU Small Blacks and Domestic Safety Law Variations booklet plus a RugbySmart DVD. Since this course enables participants to referee grades above J1 (Under 13), that is Year 9 secondary school (Under 14) to Under 21 in North Harbour it is compulsory for participants to complete RugbySmart. Attending any of the other scheduled RugbySmart courses will cover you for the Associate Referee course. Attendance of this course enables you to be registered as an Associate Referee for 3 years, providing RugbySmart is attended each year within the 3 years. You are not required to register for this course, just check the calendar for the dates and times. If you have any questions about this course contact Greg Watson at [email protected]
