Event Host Vs Referee Policy
🏟️ League Hosts vs Referees – What’s the Difference?
Our League Hosts are not referees or umpires – but they do keep the games flowing and fun! They’re the legends who create an awesome experience for every player, while making sure things stay fair and on time.
League Hosts use the Acknowledge, Coach, Call method to manage games:
✅ Acknowledge what happened
📚 Coach players on the right way
📣 Call it if needed
💼 What Does a League Host Do?
A League Host is responsible for the whole vibe of the league, including:
🎽 Setting up and providing equipment
📖 Teaching the rules and encouraging fair play
⏰ Keeping the games running on time
🏃 Maintaining the flow of the game
🤝 Managing conflict with a coaching attitude
🎉 Making sure fun comes first – always!
🫶 Support in Building the community on and off the court
In intermediate leagues, League Hosts are usually more experienced and may take a slightly more structured approach to game management.
