Our YMO programme is now well established, and has a great reputation
for identifying and bringing through new referee talent from the age of
14. The Society regularly runs RFU-accredited training courses
specifically aimed at YMOs, and our YMO coordinator ensures that there
are lots of match and tournament opportunities all over our region. At
the society we follow the England RFU program, further details can be
