Squash Ontario is excited to run a Doubles Officiating Certification Clinic. Presented by Mark Warren, this clinic will feature a presentation of the rules of doubles squash followed by a link to complete the evaluation component.

After completing both the Rules Clinic and Evaluation, participants will be invited throughout the squash season to complete their in-person assessment.

 

CERTIFICATION INFORMATION

There are two levels of doubles referees: Provincial and National. To become a certified official, a candidate must:

  1. Attend a full certification clinic

  2. Pass the written examination

  3. Pass the practical assessment

1. Certification Clinic

The rules of squash and their interpretation are presented.

2.Written Exam

The written examination is usually taken following the certification clinic, but may be taken at a later date. The examination consists of True/False questions and Short Answer questions on the rules and their interpretation. It tests the candidate’s knowledge of the responsibilities of the Referee and Judges. The written examination must be conducted by a National Examiner. The written examination must be successfully completed (minimum of 80%) prior to attempting the Practical Test.

If a candidate fails the written examination, he/she may retake it once without having to retake the clinic, provided the initial failure mark is not below 65%.

3.Practical Assessment

The practical test will be held in conjunction with competitive play, either a tournament or league match. The initial referee assessment involves giving at least 10 correct decisions and being competent and consistent in the interpretation of the rules. The initial assessment must be given by a National Examiner. If a candidate fails the practical test, he/she may retake it without having to retake the clinic.
