The 2021 American Riviera Classic of Santa Barbara Tournament' - Volunteers & Referees
Volunteers Needed - Please help to make this year's tournament a success! If you can assist and would like more details on how (even if only available for an hour or two), please contact Richard Salzberg via email at resalzberg@gmail.com
Referees Needed - Learn how to be a referee! Refs will receive cash for every match and also eligible to receive great prizes!
To prepare for the upcoming America Riviera Classic Pickleball Tournament at Santa Barbara's Municipal Courts, referee clinics will be held on September 11th and October 2nd.
These clinics will be for new referees to learn how to ref and for previous refs to get a refresher on how to ref. We are hoping to have sufficient refs to cover each of the hundreds of matches that will be played over the course of the three day tournament.
YES - you can play in our tournament and still be a ref. We will schedule you for the times that you are not playing. YES - you can be a ref for just one or two of the tournament days. But we do hope you will sign up to help for as many of the three days of the tournament as you can. YES - you can be a ref at our tournament without coming to a clinic - IF you have referee experience in previous sanctioned pickleball tournaments. Attending a clinic will help others be better and a refresher for you.
