Tournament Format: While the actual format for each court on any particular day may vary, you can generally count on 5 or 6 matches per day.
Each year we staff the boys’ tournaments in the fall, as well as the larger girls tournament schedule in the winter and spring. The boys season kicks off this year with a two-day Kickoff Tournament Oct 5-6.
New Provisional: This certification is open to USAV members age 16 and older who would like to officiate RMR events. To become a new Provisional Paid Official, you need to be a certified scorer and a certified RMR Referee by doing the coursework at the USAV Academy. On your first day as a paid official, we will match you up with a veteran mentor who will work with you that day. Each match that you work with your mentor will be paid at half rate ($20/match). Once you're working solo, you will be paid the full match rate.

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
4. The "Content Library" offers articles, optional courses and all sorts of educational material!
Or for anyone who wants to "up their game!"
At the USV Learning Academy, all USAV members have access to ALL of the officiating modules that USAV offers. These are found under the "Content Library" at your Academy. Once there, look for the module marked "Officiating Academy *Optional*"
There, modules are sorted top to bottom, 100-series to 400-series. Read as much as you'd like!
Here are some modules that we frequently recommend as a "refresher course" at the start of each season.
The basics
Courses 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15
Also 105, 106, 107 and especially 108
Then for Coach education:
Courses 51 and 150
Then 24, 205, 206, 207, 208 and 303
Also 210 and 211
Advanced topics
Courses 311, 312, 317, 318 and 319
For (wannabe) “pro” refs:
Courses 402 and 403
Officials Chair: Jim Henthorn: officialschair@rmrvolleyball.org
Scorers Chair: Kent Haggard: scorerchair@rmrvolleyball.org
Professional referees wear the uniform stipulated by the agency for whom they work at any given event. Many officials end up with closets full of uniforms over the years!
Here in the RMR we're happy to allow refs to wear any of the agency-approved uniforms. In general that includes long navy blue pants (should have pockets and belt loops), black belt, white shoes, and (any of the) approved "referee polos" from USAV, NCAA or FIVB). A full description of USAV referee-uniform regulations appears HERE.
Finally, here are some vendors that you might consider shopping with:
You will find important documents below so you can be a paid official in the Rocky Mountain Region, these include an ACH form for direct deposit, W-9 and Independent Contractor Agreement. All three forms should be returned by email directly to our bookkeeper Brandi, at accounting@rmrvolleyball.org.
Here you'll find info for all officials, including rulebooks, application forms, uniform information, AES information, USAV Academy info, housing at national events, etc.
PAID OFFICIALS IN THE RMR:
|
Conduct of all RMR officials shall be at the highest standard at all times. The RMR has a set of standards to the behavior of its members, and those standards are detailed in the USA Volleyball Participant Code of Conduct.
We love to see our athletes "get involved" with officiating.. and it's a great way to make a few extra dollars! Our guys might referee for pay during the girls' season, and our girls can officiate the boys in the fall! Another idea is to have girls that play "odds" referee on the "even" weekends and vice versa! (this can work for COACHES as well.. .they can referee for extra pay on their off weekends!)
Parents are also encouraged to enter the officiating ranks...
Come on out to make a few bucks!
