Video Review Clinic

Theme: Understand and try to see things from a different point of view.

Analyse 5 decisions but each one from a different camera angle. This session highlights that different views result in different decisions.

Start Video Review Clinic

Certain matches from completed tournaments are used in the development of referees. These match assessments allow officials to review a match, give their decisions and then compare against decisions given by a panel including the PSA, college coaches as well some senior regional and national coaches.

Often completed in the summer, the results from officials are aggregated to identify areas of concern. This then can lead to targeted clinics to go over specific or recurring areas of interference or issues.

These clinics can be taken at any time. The candidate should send in their response form to the US Squash Director of Officials who will review against the official panel decision and provide feedback.
