IHF – GRTPConcept

• Initiated by IHF to bring young talented referees to International level by participating in some of these courses – led by experienced instructors like IHF-PRC-members and IHF-lecturers.

• It’s important to have instructors in these courses of high quality who have a common line in interpretation.

• It’s in first priority a training/education course – and in second priority also an examination course.



IHF – GRTPConcept

• The courses should also help to share experiences between the continents – therefore in these courses referees from Europe, Asia, Africa, Pan America take part together if possible.

• In Europe the referees are very well known – but in some other continents we have to establish GRTP-courses more for selection and teaching purposes. Only in exceptional cases there could be awarded IHF-badges in such courses (out of Europe).

• For examination courses a certain level of games is needed. Therefore there is a tendency that most of examinations are in Europe Intercontinental Exchange of experience

IHF – GRTP

Note• “GRTP course” is NOT the same as the 'old type' of IHF-

examination course – it’s a program

• In the past nobody came to an IHF course unless it was ready for the purpose of being tested for the IHF level

• GRTP “EETE”: ”Evaluation” .......do we see enough talent ? (1) “Education” ........about IHF’s way to do it (1-4) “Training” ..........try it – train, train, ....improve (1-4) “Examination” ...test in good matches (2-4)



IHF – GRTPwho can participate ?

• Talented referees, who are foreseen for a future international career

• Usually through application by national federation – very often coordinated through continental federation

• When starting normally below 32 years• Referees who are able to communicate in English

IHF – GRTPWhat status do these referees already have ?

• National referees – most of them are already foreseen/ planned to get continental status or are successful in continental young referee projects (of course the mid term

be to bring them to IHF-level)

• Continental referees – foreseen for International career

• Younger International referees – to prepare for WCh

• International referee who has a new partner – who has to be tested in GRTP
