Referee Presenter course – Sydney – March 2011

The National Referee Education Committee of Taekwondo Australia conducted a Referee Presenter's course in Sydney on 19th – 20th March 2011.  Twelve experienced referees from 7 states attended the course and learned from senior referee presenters Sam Loiacono (NSW) and Kim Seng (WA).  Both Sam and Kim attended the London 2012 Olympic Games training and selection camp for International Referees held recently in Guangzhou China during 2nd – 5th March 2011.

The main objectives of the referee presenter course were to train, educate and qualify experienced and senior referees in Australia to become instructors of referees in their states so they can run referee courses and qualify referees for competitions in their states.  They can also teach the coaches the correct use and interpretation of the competition rules in their states, especially when to use the video replay appeals.  Part of the course on the weekend was also to standardise competition rules interpretation and implementation across all of Australia.  To ensure high quality standards, everyone was re-tested for their highest 1st class referee qualification.

Taekwondo Australia funded the travel and accommodation of the selected quality referees and who were endorsed by their state referee committees to attend the course.  Selected referees came from WA (2), SA (1), ACT (1), Tas (2), Vic (2), Qld (2) and host state NSW provided (4).

On the first day the course covered the WTF competition rules (theory, scoring, reaction time profiling, hand signals, video replay appeals and practical applications), general principles and tests on competition rules theory, application of rules and points scoring (used in conventional hand held units as well as PSS (Protector Scoring System units).  It is really an intensive day of learning, training, education and tests which started from 8:30 am and finished at 8:30 pm for dinner.  Attendees were also taught on methods of assessing and evaluating referee performances on the job.
