Officials

Referee Assignment PEL

Courses:

Water Polo Saskatchewan provides officials (referee) courses for its members in the Fall. The Regional Referee course is for referees who will officiate for regional and provincial events. The Provincial Referee course is for referees who will officiate at provincial levels with some training at National level competitions.  

**The Referee training program within Canada is currently being modified, and WPS anticipates that these courses will be available for our membership in November 2021. Please refer to our website in November for more updates on the course dates.**

Each water polo club provides minor officials training to its own members each season. Please contact your club for more information on upcoming course info and registration. 

FINA is a federation that develops aquatic sports around the world and provides definitions of rules for these sports. Referees and officials should have some background knowledge of the basic water polo rules. Please refer to the most updated water polo rules released by FINA here.
