Safety is a player's first concern.
Everyone must wear splattball approved goggles to protect their eyes. Our goggles also have a plastic face shield to protect your face and ears.

Referees on the field start and stop the games, enforce the rules and insure safe conditions exist. In addition, they familiarize the players with rules and give directions when necessary.
