Rugby? If so, I think the age is 15. Coaching is 15 I think as well, I'm not too sure. If you are a rugby maniac, and you can't wait to start refereeing, you can start your ref course by doing a "linesman" course which is basically a step behind refereeing.
I'm not a stage 1 yet as I need to be assessed, but that should be soon if I become enrolled at a rugby club for refereeing. I am on the RFU's database as a foundation canditate, so I just need to ring a referee of the national panel, and i'll have my stage 1.
Anyway, it's great to see people getting into sport and refereeing after all, its always the ref' that gets shouted at. Good luck in the future,
Craig Embleton.
