Yorkshire Federation of Referees' Societies   

WELCOME

This web site is designed to;

promote the Yorkshire Federation of Rugby Football Union Referees

give advice on how to join the society and become a referee

show some of the challenges and rewards of refereeing

provide information about rugby clubs in the Yorkshire area

The Yorkshire Federation of Rugby Football Union Referees is divided into 5 member societies:

According to The Oxford Dictionary, a referee is defined as an umpire; a person appointed to supervise a game or contest and to see that rules are observed.

So what makes someone want to be a referee? In our case, prefix referee with the word “rugby” and refereeing takes on a whole new meaning and way of life for us.  It also confers responsibility on us to do our best to ensure both players and spectators alike are given the opportunity to enjoy themselves every time we carry out our duty.
