Hunt
Richardson Offers a Referee Clinic
At 11:00 am on Saturday,
January 4, 2003, I will offer a 2.5 hour Squash
Rules and Referee class at the Sports Club/LA in
Washington, DC. The class will prepare
participants to pass the USSRA's Club
Certification Examination. It will consist of a
lecture with video support, question and answer
time and supplies, including a copy of The Rules
of Squash, the Referee's Phrasebook, lunch and
the option for participants to take the written
USSRA examination, which takes about an hour.
Students also have the option of turning in their
exam answer sheets to me at the site, or faxing
them to me for grading. A minimum score of 80% is
needed to pass the exam.
Since each league team
is required to have two USSRA Club Certified
Referees, and since juniors must pass the exam to
be qualified for national rankings, the exam is
an essential part of organized squash in the
NCSRA. The fee for the course is $25 per person.
Please
contact me to register for the clinic.

The USSRA, as part of its continuing program
to increase player awareness of the rules and
upgrade the quality of play in American club
matches, has created an excellent "Rules and
Referees" page that includes all the
materials needed to become a Certified Club Level
Referee."
