Refereeing in the TDRRS

Picture
The TDRRS provides referees for Toronto Rugby Union and Ontario Rugby Union sanctioned matches, and to the TDSB.  We also provide refereeing development and support to the Greater Toronto Area (Oakville to Belleville and Peterborough, Toronto to Collingwood). We welcome anyone who is ready to join our 100+ members in delivering refereeing services. Browse this site for information on how to start refereeing, how to improve as a referee, and where and when to join us for development meetings that will ensure you continue to enjoy refereeing!
