TRRA & TRU Members,
On behalf of the TRRA and the Referee Advancement & Training Organization (RATO), it is my pleasure to announce the final round of referee promotions for 2012. Thanks to the online assessments completed by TRU coaches and captains, we were able to provide valuable feedback to our referees. Nearly 75 reports were completed by TRU teams. In addition, we had numerous Certified Referee Coaches complete on site reports for referees. Teams also shared game film with referees, which we hope will continue in the future. TRRA thanks everyone for their commitment to improving the game of rugby. Please join us in recognizing the hard work of the following referees who have been promoted.
