  1. PALMETTO VOLLEYBALL ASSOCIATION PROFESSIONAL OFFICIALS PROGRAM

  2. PROGRAM OBJECTIVE One of the new charges of the Palmetto Region is educating, training, and evaluating officials for the sport of volleyball. Beginning this season, the Palmetto Region will provide Professional Officials at each Sanctioned event for Junior’s official training, supervision, ratings and refereeing duties of the highest playoff matches. The Palmetto Region will now be using USA Volleyball Official Training & Education as our official clinic/exam system. The clinics introduce the rules of the game to our members and provides them with the guidance and support to make their tournament experiences structured, fair, and hopefully, more enjoyable. If you have any questions about the Palmetto Region Junior Officials Program, please contact our Officials Chairperson, Amber Cornett at palmettovbofficialchair@gmail.com

  3. PROFESSIONAL ADVANCEMENT For those wishing to pursue certification, advancement and assignment to Palmetto Region events, the following activities are encouraged. • Be a student of the game: know the rules and keep up to date with current interpretations. • Be professional: look your best and behave according to the standards outlined in USAV training materials. • Look for opportunities to practice your officiating. Officials improve through working matches. Since assigned matches are limited, look for volunteer opportunities with local club scrimmages and as a R2 or Scorer at local sanctioned events. These activities will increase your experience and exposure with peers and tournament/event management. • Seek feedback and be open to receiving it. Work with other more experienced officials and ask for tips for improving your game. Be receptive when the feedback is given, even if you don’t agree. Take in the comments and reflect on them. Being able to use that information to improve is an important part of being a certified referee. • Apply for additional formal evaluations at region events when the opportunity is available. Again, it is important to be receptive to all feedback from ratings and evaluations. • Attend any and all training opportunities that are offered in the region and make use of the excellent online training from USA Volleyball.

  4. PROFESSIONAL OFFICIAL REQUIREMENTS • Register as a member of the Palmetto Region each year, through the region website, www.palmettovb.com. All certified officials must be a member in good standing of the Palmetto Region, USA Volleyball. • The Palmetto Region will reimburse the cost of your membership and background screen at the end of each season if you work at least 4 Palmetto Region Sanctioned events. You MUST work a minimum of 2 tournaments to be considered in good standing with the Palmetto Region. • Pass the USAV mandatory background screen (good for 2 seasons); this screening must be current for all officials before they take the court at a Juniors event. Background screens done through other government or private organizations are NOT accepted. • Send a brief resume of your volleyball officiating experience and a list of three volleyball references to palmettovbofficialchair@gmail.com. • Review training materials at http://www.volleyballreftraining.com/training_materials_indoor.php • These materials introduce the rules, interpretations, mechanics, best practices and professionalism that are all part of being successful as a USAV official. • Complete mandatory attendance to the appropriate clinics (detailed specifically in the presentation): • PAVO clinics ARE acceptable as Clinic Requirements
