Referees,

USAP has added another day to Las Vegas.  Now February 23 – 28th.  

Great News. USA Pickleball has just released the first three events for 2027.
USAP Glendale and USAP Las Vegas.  January 11 – 17 for Glendale and Feb 23 – 28 in Vegas.  Sweet home Opelika is March 17 thru 21st.  

A great tournament takes great referees and USAP needs all of you.  Last year we wore out the fantastic referees at Glendale so we added another day.  All levels are welcome. Paddle testers too. See below.   http://www.pickleballdesk.com/signup/1396

Las Vegas is next and starting on a Tuesday this year. We are back on the ground at Sunset park.  Please join us as we make this an event worth attending for the players with every match officiated. http://www.pickleballdesk.com/signup/1397

Then there is BBQ heaven Opelika Alabama.  Last year we got all five seasons in 4 days.  Cold, Rain, Hot, Nice, and Pollen.  We had a blast and welcomed in a lot of Level 1 and Level 2 refs from the South and Canada.  Its a fun covered venue and right on Auburns campus.  http://www.pickleballdesk.com/signup/1398

USA Pickleball takes great pride in the quality of our events but also in the quality of our officials.  We have fun and get the job done.

Verified Trainees are welcome to sign up.  We do a lot of training after the day is over but you are very welcome to be part of the team.  USA Pickleball plans to conduct full player paddle testing again this year by player request.  Its not a difficult assignment and pays as a Level 1 referee.  If you are a VT or just want to see what being a referee is all about, and get paid, let us know and sign up as a non credentialed referee and write paddle testing in the notes to RC when you sign up.

See you all at a Golden Ticket.
