Referees: About
Referee Development
Official's Training
MWPA follows Water Polo Canada's Officials Training and Certification Program (OTCP) as its officials’ education and development tool. Officials include both referees and minor officials.
​
The OTCP consists of three referee levels (as revised in 2023):
-
Community Sport Referee
-
Provincial Competition Referee
-
National Competition Referee
​
To advance to the next level, one must first be certified in the previous level.
​
Watch for announcements when the next referee training session will take place!
Referee Development Fund
Did you know that there is funding available to subsidize referee’s costs for attending major national tournaments to gain experience or for out of province education?
