Attention Referees

Please see the attached for an update on the WSF/PSA interpretation of the rules by WSF Referee Wayne R Smith at the referee symposium around the Pan AM Junior Championships. Key issues being guidance on dealing with player behaviour – blocking, interference and direct access, freedom to hit, unfair use of the body, to prevent players from attempting to earn points by interfering with their opponent’s ability to play the ball or trying to create interference rather than attempting to play the ball.
