Pickleball Canada Referee Investment
Pickleball Canada has approved an Officiating budget for 2023 to support the Refereeing Program across the Country, in excess of $32K! This is part of the strategic plan to encourage aspiring Referees to join the program and become a credentialed Referee, and for those already in the program, an incentive to move forward with their credentials. Pickleball Canada acknowledges the importance of having credentialed Referees available at their Championship tournaments.
