The training to obtain a Level 2 credential is more demanding. This is an accomplished referee with all the skills and confidence necessary to officiate medal matches at sanctioned tournaments. A Level 2 Referee has proficient knowledge of the Rulebook and knows how to handle on-court situations which typically arise. Your requirements are:
- Continue to study the Official Rulebook and demonstrate the Best Practices described in the Officiating Handbook*.
- The Referee Casebook* will also be a valuable tool for you.
- Continue working with a trainer and referee as many matches as you can.
- Contact your trainer or a Certified Referee to arrange an assessment of your skills.
- Meet the Level 2 requirements on the Tiered Referee Rating (TRR) form.
Pursuing and achieving a Level 2 credential is a major accomplishment and indicates a high level of commitment. As a Level 2 referee, your skills will be greatly valued, and you can officiate at both non-sanctioned and sanctioned tournaments. If you think this credential is a big deal, you’re right!
