It's always important to balance work and play, and the society showed how it's done this past weekend. After fall season kicked off on Saturday, society members and family met up for a fun evening of mini golf on Sunday! ⛳

Every match needs a referee. Without officials, rugby simply doesn't happen.

Whether you're a current player, former player, coach, parent, or lifelong fan, becoming a referee is one of the best ways to give back to the sport while staying involved.

This weekend was a big one for CARFU RS as we hosted both the Level 1 and Level 2 Referee Courses here in Chicago! Special shoutout to the warm weather out-of-towners who endured snow and sub-freezing temps in our beautiful city, and did it all with smiles on their faces 😁 We're looking forward to our newly certified refs hitting the pitch and our veteran refs continuing to step up their game!
