PSI Referee Resources

Thank you to all past present and future referees!

Pickleball referees are impactful. They uphold the integrity of the game. They enforce the rules of the sport of pickleball, without inserting their presence into the game. Referees are also important, and we need more, in order to continue to grow the sport of pickleball, particularly at a competitive level.

Thank you to all of the pickleball referees out there for everything you do! You are appreciated for every early start, late night, and “FOOT FAULT!” call!
