Officials (referees and scorers) are central to our sport.           You are appreciated!

ROLES:

Our members contribute to the overall officiating scene, in various roles:

Juniors: both as players keeping score or whistling, but also as paid "Provisional RMR Referees."

Coaches; the backbone of our daily operations,  coaches take the stand or assist their teams at the score tables at most events.

Professional Adult Officials: our ladies and lads in blue carry the heavy  load, whistling at our largest events, in our top divisions, and most often, at the end of each day! (join HERE)

MEMBERSHIP FOR EACH TYPE OF OFFICIAL:

Juniors and Coaches will join through their clubs, by receiving specific invitation links with which they enter the registration process. They will certify or re-certify as team officials, through online or in-person training clinics.

Paid Provisional Officials:   Please see the information in the "Paid Refs" tab above.

TRAINING:

The LEARNING ACADEMY is hosted by USAV and is used for several training purposes. All types of  officials use the Academy to access their required course work, but it's also a great resource for general learning!

Access the USAV Academy through your SportsEngine account (see "How To" below)

The USAV Academy is where coaches and athletes go for their referee and scorekeeping courses...

1.    Log in to My SportsEngine with your USA Volleyball Membership linked account. 

2.    In the top middle of your home page, you'll see the USA Volleyball Academy name and Logo in a box.  A blue "Launch" button appears at the far right of that box.  Click  on the "Launch" button, and you should be good to go! 

3. Remember that "Enrollments" are required-for-credit courses that have been assigned to you. TAKE EITHER THE "NEW" OR THE "RETURNING" COURSES (not both!). If you're a 1st year player or coach take the "new." everyone else takes "returning!"

4. The "Content Library" offers articles, optional courses and  all sorts of educational material that you can read any time, at your leisure. I does not confer credit though... it's just material that we make available to you!

Please use the drag-down menus above to access our PAID REFEREE pages and information.

Greetings, 

USA Volleyball is required on an annual basis to communicate with all participants the Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policy (MAAPP) and How to Report misconduct.   The Center created a shortened version of the MAAPP called MAAPP at a Glance which captures the key components of the MAAPP.  If you wish to read the full MAAPP, please click on the second link below.

All adult participants of USA Volleyball are mandatory reporters of abuse.

Officials;

Although this website page is otherwise dedicated to your "professional referee" interests, we do need to remind you that all adults in the RMR are SAFESPORT MANDATORY REPORTERS.

You will have learned what that means, during your annual Safesport training, but the article below gives you some reminders, and puts some basic materials at your fingertips!

IF YOU SEE SOMETHING,  SAY SOMETHING!       (REPORT HERE)
