In conjunction with the SWWC 7s Tournament we are hosting a Level 1 Referee Course. We are looking forward to grooming a team of new referees to take their place on Local, National and Olympic stages.
We urge players, administrators, coaches, parents, spectators, and fans to consider giving back to the game by becoming a rugby referee.
