🏉 REFEREE FRIDAY. PLAY SATURDAY.

Your playing days don’t have to mean your rugby days are over.

If you’re a senior player, former player or just someone who loves the game, refereeing is a great way to stay involved, stay active and give back to Rugby Union on the Sunshine Coast.

And here’s the best bit…

👉 Referee on Friday night. Pull on the jersey and play Saturday.

Many of our referees are current or former players who understand the game, love the competition and aren’t ready to leave rugby behind.

Why referee?

✅ Stay connected to the game
✅ Keep fit and active
✅ Develop leadership & communication skills
✅ Earn extra money
✅ Enjoy the best seat in the house
✅ Give something back to the game you love

You don’t have to hang up the boots to pick up the whistle.

Be more than a player. See the game from a whole new perspective.

👇 Interested? Complete our Expression of Interest and someone from SCDRRA will be in touch.
