This course provides a structured framework to train individuals in becoming competent game marshal/referee. It focuses on developing a strong understanding of rules and mechanics, while emphasizing fair play, sportsmanship, and continuous improvement.
Participants will learn to oversee tournament progression, manage game flow, and understand the roles and responsibilities of referees in ensuring smooth operations. Practical training includes mock matches and simulations to enhance officiating skills.
A pre-reading assignment and online test must be completed before the course, and familiarity with the official rulebook is recommended.
This course also benefits players, deepening their understanding of the rules for a better experience in non-officiated matches.
Upon completion, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to serve as a game marshal/referee. However, to become an AFP-certified referee, individuals must undergo additional on-court practical assessments and officiate in a required number of sanctioned tournaments under AFP-trained assessors.
Participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance issued by the Asia Federation of Pickleball (AFP).
