Am I experienced enough to be a water polo ref?

Question

I am a college sophomore playing water polo at the collegiate level. I played water polo throughout high school starting the summer before I was a freshmen. I am now starting to think that I might be interested in starting to become a referee. I need a summer job, and I love water polo. I understand the rules and I was thinking that maybe I would be a referee for younger ages. Do you think that I have enough experience? I would really appreciate other water polo refs or water polo players and coaches to let me know. Or refs from other sports works as well.

Answer 1

Yes please. Water polo needs ref's that actually know water polo. Don't hesitate.

Answer 2

yeah, you are more than qualified to become a water polo ref! I think they would love to have you ref especially because you have played for several years and you know the rules! I know the league my old high school is in are always looking for refs because there just aren't enough people willing to become a water polo ref....so I think you should definitely become a ref =)
