These referee roles are open to anyone and will come with thorough on the job training to assist in bringing any newcomers up to speed.
"Unfortunately in the past two years, the group 7 referee numbers have gone down quite significantly," a spokesperson for Group 7 said.
"Without referees, there is no game."
There is also an enticing incentive for each of the ten clubs to begin recruiting.
The club that gets the most members to sign up to the Foundation 1 referee course will receive four corporate tickets to the Dragons vs Tigers match at WIN Stadium on May 1.
The Foundation 1 Referee Course is being facilitated tomorrow night April 20 at 6pm at the Kiama Leagues Club.
For those wishing to attend, you must have completed the e learning modules first and then register to the workshop (face-to-face) session.
