British Wrestling hosted a free CPD course for our current referee’s who were interested in becoming Beach Wrestling Referees. Beach Wrestling is the newest form of wrestling to be recognised by the UWW with opportunities to compete and officiate in sunny locations internationally. It’s based on simpler format of rules that makes it extremely dynamic for spectators and athletes alike.
The BWA Referee’s were taken through the latest UWW rules for the new sport by BWA Lead Official, Richard Philips and BWA/UWW Referee, Lee Seggl. We had 13 referee’s in attendance.
The referee’s covered topics such as:
- The Referee Team, their responsibilities and function
- Before, During and After a Match
- The scoring sheet
- Classification points
- Scoring actions and holds
