"Personally, I'm most likely to award a FK against the prop who was the only one to advance, for a deliberate wheel, with lots of advice to keep it all balanced."
watch for the oppo prop pulling though to milk the FK.

7's variations don't vary the scrum offside lines, so go with the RFU age variations. This keeps the defensive SH at the tunnel until the ball is out until U.15. There's very little control of the emerging ball in 7s, so the attacking SH really needs all the help a ref can give him if the game is to develop into flowing 7's, rather than a short-sided ruck-fest. Ping the defensive SH for laying hands on a prop (just as in the full game, he'd get pinged for laying hands on the flanker). If you ref, do whatever you can to help the attacking SH.
There's also the question of the wheel. 45 degrees only at this age group, and no deliberate wheel. 3-man scrums have a tendency to go round - there's debate as to whether you assist or damage the game by resetting a 46 degree scrum. Personally, I'm most likely to award a FK against the prop who was the only one to advance, for a deliberate wheel, with lots of advice to keep it all balanced.
In 10's with 5-man scrums, adopt the same approach - keep the defensive SH at the tunnel if that's what his 15-a-side laws go with. Otherwise it's the line of the ball, but ping the SH for putting hands on anyone in the scrum. Remember, the ball must be released ASAP - it can't be kept at the base.

Thanks guys, put it all into practice and enjoyed it despite a bitterly cold Day.
Hooker was a good point, the better teams did try this.
First part of tournament was played across pitch so all conversions were infront of the posts.
Had to quickly change at one end to kicking from in goal to stop losing balls over the Wall!!!!

Agree with all the good advice, and watch out for the "seasoned professionals" in the scrum, where the 2 isn't bound properly for a quick getaway. Illegal, dangerous and a pk if you spot it!
Also YC is 2mins.
And have fun.

loads of good advice
I was up at the NSS7, last week and saw and reffed some great stuff.
apart from all the regular stuff like no kicking through or pulling at the scrum ect
my only tip would be while reffing, look for reasons to keep playing rather than ones to stop and let them play, loads of advantage, possesion being a huge advantage in sevens and be on your toes and enjoy it.....its knackering

Technically the Sevens variations do not allow for conversions to be taken from the in-goal area.
It is a point worth clarifying with the organisers beforehand.

>Kick-off errors (not 10, out on the full, ball dead) are a FK at the centre.
That was the one I forgot last Saturday.
Still it only happened the once and I don't think any of the players or spectators knew it either so I got away with it.

Get fit!
And think about what to do if the scrum wheels. With schoolboys, keep any wheel to 45 degrees, speak to them about controlling the push to avoid multiple resets.
It's common for kickers to convert back into the field of play from in-goal or beyond. If there's a strong wind that favours this tactic from one end, you may want to stipulate that if once you use it, you must always use it - i.e. you can't kick with the wind from both ends.
Kick-off errors (not 10, out on the full, ball dead) are a FK at the centre.
Have fun

Guys, been asked to do a sevens event on Thursday.
Any quick tips? I haven't done one for a while.
Kicking out of scrum, Kick-off differnces, length of sin bin spring to mind.
I'll be trying to read up laws.
