List of 2011-2012 Certified Referees

Juniors teams when working must now provide a certified referee (at least Player level) to be the R2.  The Club Referee Representative will ensure that appropriate members of each team are trained and certified as at least a Player Referee.  Juniors (or Adults on a Juniors Roster) may be rated as Player referees (with emphasis on R2).  If certification and training are done within a club, the trainer/rater may simply submit the list of names and id's for certification documentation.  The trainer/rater must be a certified Regional level referee or higher.  Contact either Mike McPoyle at referee@krva.org or Alan Sowa at scorekeeper@krva.org for more information.

 The Officials Division would like to announce the opening of a new blog associated with the referee training site.  The blog is open to all volleyball referees and will be moderated by Mike Carter, Officials Representative to the USA Volleyball Board of Directors.  The blog can be found at http://volleyballreftraining.net/usavreftrainingblog/ and is ready for viewing right now!!

• Do you have questions about USAV rules or techniques?
• Did you have a situation during a match that you would like to know if you handled correctly?
• Are you unsure about advancement opportunities?

 
Whatever you are interesting in learning about, we will do our best to answer your questions here!  There will also be information about USAV camps, interpretation letters, and links to other volleyball sites and resources. We have video clips and what if scenarios for your viewing and comments.   You will also have the ability to post a clip to help the visualization of any scenario you might pose!!
 
To post, you will need to register on the site  (to keep the spam down). Since it is a moderated site, the questions and situations will be posted as frequently as we can, giving us time to ensure that all questions are suitable for posting.  We reserve the right to not post a situation or question we feel is inappropriate or to post without the use of names that might embarrass other referees.
 
We are excited about this opportunity for referees to share their USAV experiences with others, and to get feedback from top referees in our organization.  Please forward this information to anyone you believe might be interested in this site.  It is open to all referees with any level of experience from beginners to the most seasoned of referees.

NEW REFEREES & 2ND YEAR REFEREES

PROVISIONAL REFEREES

* 

REGIONAL REFEREES

Contact Neal as soon as possible if you are required to be rated and have not yet been rated.  Regional referees whose last name begins with any letter from Q through Z must be rated this season.

Region Run Referee Clinics

These referee clinics are basic to intermediate clinics, and there will only be two of them, one in the East and one in the West.  Attendance satisfies the Region referee clinic requirement.

The clinics have been revised a bit.  Plan on about 4 hours for the clinic. Please, email the clinician or contact person as noted for the specific clinic you want to attend as soon as possible before the clinic date, since we need to know who is attending beforehand.  Please arrive about 1/2 hour before the start time to check-in and complete a bio-form.  If you cannot attend one of the Region-run clinics, you may attend one of the USAV National Referee clinics.  Remember that the USAV National Referee clinics are intended for advanced or advancing referees.  For the 2011-2012 season, Provisional and Regional referees may use an online clinic.  Junior National and National referees must attend a USAV National Referee clinic.

*

USAV National Referee Clinics

These clinics are conducted under USAV and are advanced clinics.  They are appropriate for experienced referees at varying levels of certification.  Attendance satisfies the Region clinic requirement.  For USAV Junior National referees and USA National referees, attendance satisfies the Region clinic requirement and the USAV clinic requirement for the season ending national championship events.  There is a $20 fee, payable in advance, for all participants.  The cost at the door is $40.  To obtain the registration form, contact George Egan (george.egan@usav.org) or click on the link below.  Clinics in or near the Keystone Region are listed below.
