The annual Kyorugi Referee Refresher Seminar will be held on Sunday 11 April 2010 from 2.30pm to 6.30pm at the National Training Centre. The dress code for the event is ‘dobok’.
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.
Registration, which is free, will close on Tuesday 6 April 2010. Participants who turn up for the seminar without registering will not enjoy the same privilege as those who have done so.

84 participants took their tests after attending 20 hours of theory and practical lessons stretched over two weekends.
Due to the large number of participants, they were divided into 9 groups and evaluated at different timings.
The results are attached.
Those participants who are successful are required to complete 3 months (twice a week) or 6 months (once a week) of practical coaching attachment. Trainee coaches can have their choice of schools or clubs approved by the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF) for their attachment.
Two forms are also attached.
Form A must be returned to the STF at least two weeks before they start their coaching attachment. Attachment without prior approval of STF will not be accepted.
Form B is for trainee coaches to record their attendance. It must be counter-signed by their respective club officials.
On receipt of completed Form B, the STF will issue certificates to coaches only after having satisfied that the coaches have fulfilled their obligations.
Practical attachment must be completed within 3 years of the announcement of the results. After that, the results will be considered null and void.
