NEW REFEREE REGISTRATION

All you need to do to get started is sign up to one of the many Referee Training Courses taking place across the country. This introductory one day course instructs you in the basic laws with video clips of recent matches and outdoor practical drills, with the course concluding with an exam on the laws of the game.

APPLYING FOR A COURSE IS SIMPLE.
JUST FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW.

Choose and register for the nearest referee course by clicking here. If there are no current courses listed for Texas, please sign up using our interest form.  Are you interested in hosting a referee course?

Not quite ready to take the Level 1 certification? Consider taking the Touch Judge online course with USA Rugby.

TRRA Inc membership dues for the 2023-20234 competitive season are $200. U18 referees are eligible for half off their TRRA dues–they will need to sign up for the U18 membership in RX. Dual Role refs are likeways eligible for a discount but must reach out to their regional representative for their discount. 

TRRA ref dues are in addition to the membership fee in order to be registered with USA Rugby.

To be assigned to a match by the TRRA, referees must be a TRRA Inc Member in good standing.

Note that $90 of your TRRA membership fee is to cover the cost of your membership to the National Association of Sports Officials, which includes an individual insurance policy that is generally acknowledged to be superior to one offered to referees via USA Rugby.

Again, reach out if you have questions. RX tutorials follow.
