WHISTLE WHILE YOU WORK OUT

WHISTLE WHILE YOU WORK OUT

That last concussion/shoulder/knee made you think:

Perhaps it's time you took up a sport with less contact??

Softball, perhaps? Bowling, maybe?

WHOM ARE YOU KIDDING????

Face it: You can't quit the game you've given your adult life to. It's in your blood. Well, here's good news: You don't have to stop rugby. You can be a rugby referee. Rugby referees enjoy the same benefits of the game as the players, without being squished and trampled. Referees train just as hard (they run six miles in an 80 minute match), travel, enjoy socials and get the same adrenaline rush as the players. In addition, their constant study of the game enriches their enjoyment of this lifetime sport.

If making the game safe for others while having the time of your life appeals to you, call Buzz McClain at 703/406-1776 or email at buzzmc@prodigy.net for information about joining the Potomac Society of Rugby Football Referees.

Become a rugby referee, it is one of the best opportunities you will have to give back to the game as much as it has given you. There is more need for referees now than ever!
