The Iowa & Great Plains USA Volleyball Regions will be co-hosting a clinic for volleyball referees who want to advance their skills or who want to learn more about officiating volleyball. This clinic is open to volleyball referees of all skill levels. The clinic will concentrate primarily on USA Volleyball rules and mechanics, but also presents tips and techniques that are useful to National Federation (high school) or NCAA (PAVOcollegiate) referees.
The day starts with the USA Volleyball National clinic. At the beginning of each season USAV conducts rules clinics around the country using a cadre of clinicians to provide consistent information about rules and techniques.
The afternoon session will included several Advanced Referee sessions tailored to your current skill level, experience, and interests.
The topics covered include volleyball officiating mechanics, protocols and philosophies.
These sessions are designed to help you improve your officiating skills and take you to the next level.
A demand exists for good officials at high school, college, and USAV competitions. After completing this clinic, you will have more opportunities to participate in USAV events.
Even if you choose not to do so, this is a good way to prepare for next year’s fall high school or college season.

It has been noted that many email addresses of National level officials bounce back. They could be bad addresses, or it is possible that the sendee is not recognized so the email goes into spam, or is not accepted at all.
National level officials, PLEASE make sure that any emails that come from George Egan (george.egan@usav.org), Kathy Ferraraccio (kathy@ferraraccio.com) or Glenn Reid (greid55@aol.com) are allowed through so officials do not miss important messages about dues, exams, rule changes, etc sent from those people.
