The Montana Rugby Referee Society held a Level 1 referee course with the help of the Billings Bulls, the Rimrock Rattlesnakes Youth Rugby, and the Black Mambas Youth Rugby. Four individuals completed the class and may soon be running the fields of Montana with a whistle in hand:

  • Dave Griffin
  • Matt Groff
  • Mike Petersohn
  • Haley Samsel

Congratulations for the achievement and the effort they put in to the class! Also, special thanks to the Bulls, the Rattlesnakes, and the Black Mambas for putting the new referees through their paces during the field exercises. Without the help of these clubs, the event would not have been the success it was!

We’re about ready to start the fall season in Montana. Just a few tidbits:

  1. We’ve gone to a web form to record availability. As soon as you can, please go to: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1PJtrCor6z0PxrNd5mZrRZYxZ687cjWSw47XhrzzF5CU/viewform?usp=send_form and let us know when you are available to referee a rugby game.
  2. USA Rugby membership is open for the 2015-2016 season.  Don't forget to sign up - it provides insurance protection and is required to officiate some matches (and MaggotFest).
  3. In the effort to keep everyone up-to-date, all of the match schedules and assignments are on the website. 
  4. Don't forget about the L1 Referee Course in Billings on 29 August.
