Thanks to the online assessments completed by TRU coaches and captains, we were able to provide valuable feedback to our referees. Nearly 150 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:<\/p>\n<p><strong>C4 to C3:<\/strong><br \/>\nStephen Boeding<br \/>\nWalker Cagle<br \/>\nVaughn Crowe<br \/>\nMurray Hunkin<br \/>\nCalvin Messias<br \/>\nDan O\u2019Donnell Sr.<br \/>\nDan O\u2019Donnell Jr.<br \/>\nTimmy O\u2019Gara<br \/>\nSteven Riddough<br \/>\nLiz Rutherford<br \/>\nJohn Scheef<\/p>\n<p><strong>C3 to C2:<\/strong><br \/>\nCraig Coates<br \/>\nTheo Van Wyk<\/p>\n<p>RATO is excited to add a new referee to the highest local ranking of C1.

He continued his hard work in the Spring working with referee coaches and mentors to reach his goals. Please join me in congratulating Shawn. We look forward to his future growth and success as he moves to the next level of refereeing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>C2 to C1:<\/strong><br \/>\nShawn \u201cBean\u201d Martin<\/p>\n<p>RATO also hosted a Level 1 certification in Beaumont in May.
