Junior Clubs conducting the training of their junior members with in-house staff need to
ensure that the clinician(s) are versed in each area and know the current rules, protocols,
signals, expectations and forms used by Scorers and Second Referees. They are responsible
to provide them with adequate training and practical experience to be prepared for a rating
at a regular season tournament. Club Clinicians are encouraged to contact the Officials Chair
and Score Chair for current information pertinent to the proper training of their members.
On-line trainingADULT CLINICS Rule changes for volleyball are considered at meetings conducted by the FIVB. These changes do not filter down to the USA Volleyball until the season afterwards due to the time needed for rulebook printing and distribution. In recognition of this, there will be mandatory online or in-person clinics for all officials every year. New USA Volleyball official candidates and re-certifying USA Volleyball officials must attend the required clinic(s) in their entirety in order to be given credit for the clinic. Please note that practical re-certification ratings will occur at the end of a three-year term unless issues and concerns arise that indicate it needs to be done sooner. Adult members have two options to attain the training necessary to become certified 1st Referees or Scorers: USAV National Clinic

![]() ![]() On-line trainingRATINGS: The WEVA Board has reduced practical re-certification requirements to one "up" and one "down" rating every three years. The referee chairperson may review referee performance and require practical ratings in less than three years. Ratings, other than juniors, should be requested of the referee chair at least two weeks prior to a given tournament. Juniors
Can be certified at an event following participation in a clinic sponsored by the club the player is
playing for, a clinic hosted by WEVA within your geographical area, or the free online course from USA
Volleyball. The certification is good for the duration of the player’s junior playing career UNLESS the club
and executive director is notified that an individual's certification was revoked due to responsibilities not
being performed satisfactorily at an event. If USA Volleyball rules are changed significantly, ALL certified
junior officials will need to attend a new clinic to obtain a new certification.
