Why we need you!

For every official Junior Beasties game, we need a Team Manager, a Coach, an Assistant Coach, an Assistant Referee and a Ground Marshal, for every team.

The official referee will not allow any game to start without both a ground marshal and assistant referee from our team, as these are core safety roles.

There are also some other roles available across the Club, have a look at our Contact List page to see vacancies, please get in touch with the Club for more info on these if you are interested!

Interested in becoming a Ground Marshal and helping keep our games and players safe?

Every team must have a Ground Marshal for every Competition Match and every Finals Series Match. The referee will NOT start the Match unless both Teams have a Ground Marshal.

The role of the Ground Marshal is to:

• Ensure your Team’s spectators / supporters are not in breach of the SJRU Code of Conduct and in particular there is NO verbal abuse of Match Officials or players.
• Remove any person associated with your Team who does not comply with the directions issued to them by a ground marshal or the referee. The offending person should be directed to leave the playing enclosure immediately.

Interested in becoming an Assistant Referee and run the sidelines for your child's game?

The role of the Assistant Referee is to:

To access the online learning centre where these courses are, along with other materials, you will need a Rugby Xplorer account, register or login here. You will need the Smart Rugby certification to fulfill this role. To find out more about the Assistant Referee course and how to begin, please go to the 'Assistant Referee' section on this page.
