REFEREE PAYMENT INFO

All referees should create a Venmo account HERE.  You may use a Facebook account or an email address; it will link to the bank of your choice and will transfer the funds free of charge. Players have the option to provide you cash or the electronic payment.  If a captain uses Venmo, you only need to provide your email address and the payment can be confirmed in the app or on their website.  Please contact PSL staff with any questions regarding this policy.
