Club/Area Area Referee Course

Welsh Judo are pleased to offer face to face award training for the BJA Club and Area referee levels in the same session.
The module will cover the basic structure of refereeing, penalty situations, signals, referee pathway as well as the competition framework.

The module is suitable for athletes or coaches who have not previously had any referee or official competition experience but meet or exceed the entry criteria set out in the Referee Handbook which is on the BJA website under Refereeing resources.

If in doubt, please call the organiser to discuss, Neil Lawcock, in this case. Club and Area referee levels may use this module as a revalidation event if they are currently invalid. Coaches who fully qualify to their next level including the event practical examination can claim a coach revalidation on completion.
