2015 National Kyorugi Referee Refresher Seminar (30 August 2015)

0

The annual  Kyorugi Referee Refresher Seminar will be held on Sunday 30 August 2015 from 2.00pm 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 : Wednesday 26 August 2015) – $30.00
–  After closing date – $50.00

The registration form is available in the Forms folder.

Mr Milan Kwee, Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) President, has been re-elected as a member of the Singapore National Olympic Council at its Annual General Meeting held on Wednesday, 22 July 2015 at Raffles Town Club.

Five National Sports Association (NSA) representatives stood for election.  Mr Kwee was one of the three elected.  The other two were Ms Juliana Seow from Fencing Singapore and Dr Melanie Chew from Equestrian Federation of Singapore. 

Based on the results, Mr Kwee seemed to the most popular among the candidates as he garnered the highest number of votes.  This came as no surprise for some as he had good personal relationship with officials from a number of NSAs.  He had also contributed actively as a member of the Council by, among other things, heading the Organizing Committee of the Singapore Sports Awards Night 2014.  

The STF is proud of Mr Kwee’s achievement and is delighted to know that he is committed to the improvement of not only taekwondo but sports in Singapore.
