USA Volleyball Launches Referee
Training Site with First Referee Training Video
USA Volleyball and its Officials Division have launched the first
USAV-sanctioned referee training web site with the release of the
only comprehensive
training video of its kind.
First Referee Basics, a 23-minute video available on line here,
is the first of many such training modules and covers such topics as
attire, necessary equipment, pre-match briefings, basic first referee
mechanics and the three elements of making a call. The USAV-approved videos feature
narration by Tom Blue, USAV vice president for international referees,
and are professionally produced to address the most recent
rules, techniques and interpretations. The
company
will soon release Second Referee Basics. A module on USA Volleyball
signals is also in production and we plan to produce short (10-20
minute) modules on other topics, including:
Sanctions
The Libero
Ball handling
Dealing w/participants
Pre-match conversations
In-match referee teamwork
Line judging

and Training Events
12/9 Moravian College will be the site for recertifying
Regional Referees.
12/16 Renegades will be the site for evaluating candidates
who would like to become a Regional Referee. Attendance
must be approved by the Referee Chair.
1/6 Renegades will be the site for recertifying Provisional
Referees.
2/3 Renegades will be the site of our 2008 JN Training
program. Attendance must be approved by the Referee Chair.
2/17 Millersville University will be a site for certifying
and training new Provisional Referees. There will be a
mini clinic in the morning. This is only for new referees.
3/8 United Sports Training Center in Thorndale,
PA will be a site for certifying and training new Provisional
Referees. There will be a mini clinic in the morning. This
is only for new referees.
For all rating events, please contact the Ref Chair to be scheduled.
Let us know if you prefer AM or PM. You will be rated as
R1, R2, and scorekeeping. To be considered for upgrading
from Provisional to Regional, please contact the Ref Chair.
Additional ratings may be provided as needed across the region
for recertifying referees. Please contact the Ref Chair
to make arrangements.
Raters will also be assigned to work at a few large, multi-day
events in January to also provide ratings for those unable to
attend the specified rating session and to work with training
junior club work teams.
Process:
All rating events will provide for a minimum of
one rating each for R1, R2 and Score. JN Training will require
two ratings at each position plus a scorekeeper rating. New Regional
and New Provisional may require two ratings at the discretion
of the Head Rater for that event plus a scorekeeper rating.
Regional
to JN: Those interested in moving to Junior National
within two years must attend the JN Training event. They must
be a Regional Scorekeeper and should have attended a national
OTP clinic. Test scores for candidates should be at least
90 before correcting to 100%. A history of the level of
events worked will also be required and taken into consideration. Experience
with Juniors (Boys and Girls) is expected; Adults, collegiate,
NIRSA, AAU Nationals, and Referee Advanced Camps are a plus.
JN Referees interested in going for
their Natl should concentrate
on a few things first: You need to have attended a National clinic
(JO's or PAVO/OTP); you need to have worked Boy's JO's at least
once and worked Girl's Invitational or JO's once; you need a
list of adult competition such as MACS, Men's club, NIRSA, College
Club, NCAA Women's DI experience highlighting championship matches;
and you need to be a Regional Scorekeeper who is ready to go
for your Natl scorekeeping patch. It is suggested that you go
for both but it is not required. Once approved, working NIRSA,
Pop Idell, or Nittany will be good experience in preparation
for Nationals.
