The spring is here and it\u2019s time for fitness testing again! Fitness standards<\/a> have been in place for a year now, but please feel free to review.\u00a0RATO feels that this\u00a0allows for a more realistic pathway and holds the referee accountable for their development and fitness.<\/p>\n

As a reference the TRRA Fitness standards were based on the current\u00a0USA Rugby\u00a0Fitness Standards [Beep Test]:<\/strong><\/p>\n

National Panel: Level 12
\nB Panel refs wanting to be considered for USA National Appts: Level 11
\nC1\u2032s wanting to be considered for national appointments\/B Panel: Level 10<\/p>\n

TRRA Fitness Standards [Beep Test]:<\/strong>
\nC1s wishing to pursue USA B Panel \u2013 Achieve a minimum of Level 10
\nC1 \u2013 Level 9
\nC2 \u2013 Level 8
\nC3 \u2013 Level 7<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong>\u00a0Here is the beep test audio<\/a> or you can download the \u201cBeep Test Trainer\u201d App and it can be downloaded from iTunes\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If a referee chooses not to take a fitness test (i.e. comply with a requirement for refereeing) then they may only receive matches well within their scope of experience related to their grade. They would also not be afforded any further opportunities for advancement\/promotion and unavailable for exchanges.<\/p>\n

Spring\u00a0testing is due by Feb 15th<\/strong>, once completed send your results to\u00a0rato@texasrugbyunion.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the\u00a0TRRA Chair<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0TRRA Vice Chair<\/a>\u00a0with any questions.<\/p>\n

For information about nutritional\u00a0supplements for rugby referees<\/a> to use during the fitness testing, please contact Tim Howard @RuckScience<\/a> who will be able to provide further guidance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
