As competitions tip off this week, we're reminding everyone that if their whistle is green, they're under 18.

Our young referees are learning, developing and building their confidence, just like the players on the court. They deserve a safe and supportive environment to do so.

But respect doesn't stop at the green whistle. ALL referees deserve respect, regardless of their age or experience.

No referees. No games. It's that simple.

This season, let's make respect part of the game. 👏
