The annual Kyorugi Referee Refresher Seminar will be held on Sunday 24 July 2016 from 1.30pm to 6.00pm.

The venue will be announced at a later date.

All active kyorugi referees must attend the seminar to have their licenses to officiate extended by a year.  Coaches who are national referees are also encouraged to participate in the seminar.  The knowledge will be invaluable to them if they wish to continue to be effective coaches.

Kyorugi referees with expired licenses may also attend the seminar.  Their licenses will be renewed if they pass the assessment which will be conducted at the end of the seminar for all participants.

As the provision of referees is a pre-condition for participation in all STF organized or sanctioned tournaments, it is important for clubs to have their own pool of qualified referees.

The seminar will cover, among other things, the latest amendments to the competition rules and regulations.

Participants are to come prepared with their ‘dobok’ and writing materials.   They should be well prepared for the numerous tests which will be conducted to ensure that they are fit mentally and physically to officiate.  They should also be ready to recite the pledges.  Those who fail in any of the tests will have to be retested within a week or so.

We plan to end the seminar punctually.  However, if the overwhelming number of participants does not allow us to do so, they must be prepared for the seminar to end later.

The registration fees are as follows.

–  Closing date : Monday 18 July 2016 – $30.00
–  After closing date – $50.00

Referees who had officiated more than 30 hours in the kyorugi events at the National Inter-School Taekwondo Championships will be exempted from taking the tests.  Please present your referee booklet at the seminar for confirmation.

 The registration form is available in the Forms folder.

Affiliate members are invited to attend a workshop if they wish to double their knowledge on sports injuries.

More details are available in the brochure.

As this is a walk-in workshop, no registration is required.

The updated overall results of the Poomsae Referee Course held in April 2016 are attached.

Participants who had officiated 30 hours or more would receive the Class 3 qualification.  Those who have clocked less than 30 hours will receive Class 3P but will have another opportunity to upgrade their qualification by officiating in the SYOF and the PA-STF events. 

If your results are still pendiing, you are advised to officiate in both the SYOF and the PA-STF competitions.  Otherwise, you would be considered as having failed the course.

The following participants have successfully completed the Sparring Course (Level 1) held on 11 & 12 June 2016 at the STF National Training Centre.

Successful candidates will be exempted from sparring when they go for their 1st to 2nd poom/dan grading.
