Any referees here?

I've been thinking of becoming a referee as a way to give back to the sport. But I'm worried about making mistakes and the impact that can have on the competition and the athletes. If there are any refs here I'd love to know more about your experience.

  • What has refereeing been like for you?

  • Do you find it worth it?

  • How do you deal with the stress of having to make the right decision in the moment, on a meet with so many people?

  • Anything you wish you knew before you started?
