The Junior Referee Certification is an entry-level program designed for participants under 16 years old, introducing the basic rules of squash and the responsibilities of officiating. It equips young players and volunteers with the confidence to score matches and support competitions in a safe and fair environment. Certification is free of charge and aims to build respect, safety, and integrity within the sport.

 

What is the Junior Referee Certification

This certification introduces juniors to officiating in an age-appropriate and accessible way. It provides the knowledge to apply key rules during play, maintain fairness, and assist in officiating under supervision. Junior Referees are recognised as suitable to score and assist at low-level or junior competitions while gaining confidence in both playing and officiating.

 

How is the Course Applied

The course is delivered online through the Squash Australia Learning Centre and includes completion of the World Squash Officiating Level 0 Rules course. It is designed to give juniors practical skills in scoring and decision-making, with an emphasis on supporting fair play and safety. Junior Referees are always expected to operate under the guidance of a qualified adult referee or tournament official.

 

Who is Eligible

The program is open to juniors under the age of 16 who are interested in learning about officiating. It is suitable for junior players and volunteers. Requirements include completion of the Sport Integrity Australia Safeguarding Children and Young People in Sport course, the WSO Level 0 Rules course, and acknowledgement of the Junior Referee Code of Behaviour.
