                          Clinic is open to non-National officials also.  Check back for instructions on registering if you do not have a national rating.
 

The information below was provided by the USA Volleyball Officials Commission.  It is mainly directed to those officials in the Carolina Region that are currenty certified with a National Rating (National or Junior National Referee) and those in the pipeline for one of these ratings.  The Carolina Region is making plans to again host a National Referee Clinic in the Region.  We will post information on this page when it is known.  Even though it is a National clinic, any official may attend the clinic if they wish.  The information below is directed to National Officials on the procedures they will take to pay their annual dues and register for a National clinic.

The USAV National Clinic program has continued to provide the most up to date information presented by the best clinicians to help you prepare for the season and educate the cadre of officials within your home regions. This has been a direct result of your continued support through active participation and candid feedback on the clinic evaluation documents. Once again, we have strived to respond to your requests and include segments that most concern you and those that will continue to prepare you for the responsibility of being a National level referee.

Again this year, there are three options for payment of the national clinic:
 

  1. You may pay the clinic fee at the same time you pay your Officials Commission dues of $40, but at a reduced rate of $15 for the clinic – in other words, you will pay a total of $55 for both your mandatory Commission dues and your national clinic fee. This must be done online and instructions are below.
  2. You may pay your Officials Commission dues of $40 as you have in the past with no additional fee paid at the time. If you then choose at a later date to register for a clinic through the National Office and pay in advance, the fee will be $20 as it was last year.
  3. If you decide late to attend a clinic and have not registered online at least ONE WEEK prior to the clinic you are attending, the fee will be $40 and the only option will be to pay at the door.

If you choose option one or two, follow these instructions for paying dues and/or clinic fee online:

• PLEASE REMEMBER THAT YOU MUST ALSO BECOME A MEMBER IN YOUR REGION – THIS IS SEPARATE FROM THE OFFICIALS COMMISSION DUES.

Contact George Egan (George.egan@usav.org ) for assistance at any time to register for a clinic.

All Jr National and National Referees are required to attend a National Clinic each year if they plan to officiate any of the National championships – Adult Open, Girls/Boys JNC. Failure to do so will limit your potential to work the Open Nationals or JNC events.

The National Clinics are not limited to National level referees. They are open to all certified experienced referees and we have heard that some regions may choose to use them to satisfy their regional recertification requirements.

Please be aware that we plan to offer the National clinic at the Open Nationals and the GJNC only, but this might be limited to one per tournament, more than likely at or near the beginning of the event. THERE WILL NOT BE A NATIONAL CLINIC AT THE BJNC IN 2012. The length of the clinic will be approximately 3 hours, so if attending the clinic at one of the tournaments, it is likely you will have to come in even earlier than in the past.
