We are looking for volunteers to act as court referees during the Pickleball state games in Jackson Mississippi on June 12 – June 13. Our goal is to have a referee on every court. Volunteers would still be able to play in the tournament and we will work around your scheduled matches. The role of a referee would be to keep score and monitor the no-volley lines. If anyone is interested please email Nick at nick@ccjackson.com.
