Sparring coaches must meet the criteria outlined (black belts +15 yrs or adults only) along with achieving the requirements set by Taekwondo Manitoba.

A coaches meeting is held by the referee chair shortly before the start of sparring at each tournament.

REFEREES

Without referees there would be no tournaments.
