SOUTH African Rugby’s women’s refereeing panel kicked off the 2018 season with a pre-season camp where they had a refresher course on the laws of the game, wrote their annual exam and were put through their paces with a fitness test.
The three-day camp marked the second year in a row that the women’s panel had their own pre-season get-together, and this time they had the luxury of working with ground-breaking female referee Aimee Barrett-Theron, who is now balancing her busy refereeing schedule with coaching the women’s panel.
The camp started on February 16 with law presentations and video analyses, which was followed on Saturday by a fitness test, presentations by the referees on specific areas of the game and an inspirational session with Barrett-Theron who offered advice on what they needed to do to progress through the referee structures both locally and internationally. The camp concluded on Sunday with a written exam.
