The Society of Iowa Rugby Referees is bringing a USA Rugby Referee L1 Accreditation Course to Des Moines, and this is your chance to give back to the game we all love.

📅 Sunday, March 22nd
⏰ 8:30am – 5:00pm
📍 Weeks Middle School | Des Moines, IA

This course is a perfect introduction to refereeing, and once completed, you’ll be eligible to officiate high school, college, and senior matches as soon as this spring!

The Wombats and B-Side Bois Rugby Podcast teamed up with S.I.R.R.S to make this happen locally because rugby doesn’t exist without referees. Whether you’re a current player, former player, or just a fan of the sport, anyone can pick up a whistle and help make rugby better!

👉 Registration is REQUIRED through USA Rugby / Rugby Xplorer

We need you!
And it's a great way to stay involved in the sport after playing!
