Interested in Becoming a Junior Development Official?

The AZ Region will again be offering a Junior Development Officials Program for the 2007-08 season. The Jr Development Official Program is open to boys and girls who are Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors in high school. If you are interested in signing up, please take into consideration the time commitment of this program.

The Jr Development Officials' Program is designed to offer junior players an opportunity:
 
  • To help the junior officials hone their officiating skills as well as their playing experience;
  • To provide role models for the younger junior players;
  • To offer a part time job for those willing to learn the trade;
  • To identify new officials and help them enter the officiating ranks;
  • To advance in volleyball through the Officials' Division. Several of our former Junior Developmental Officials are now advancing their ratings and entering the Regional and Junior National levels as well as officiating for the AIA officiating high school matches.
Jr Officials will be required:
 
  • To attend a training or mentoring session. The training or mentoring session will cover the R1, R2, Scorekeeping, and Line Judge Positions. Training Clinic will be held Sunday, Jan 6, 2008 at Kingdom Courts from 9 am - 1 pm. Please plan to attend.
  • To have a uniform that consists of navy blue dress slacks or shorts (no denim), all white athletic shoes and socks, white polo shirt, whistle, timing device and flipping coin. (An annual AZ Region Official’s polo shirt becomes available during the season.)
  • To list their availability to work on the OASIS system (see below for how to enter your availability)
  • To work at least one wave at all the scheduled Girls 12's or Club Division tournaments plus the 12's Region Championships (full day). Reliable transportation (car or parent) to and from the assigned sites is needed.

Jr Development Officials will be paid $60 per wave for regular tournaments and $15 per match for the Region Championships or other tournaments if requested to work.

How to List Your Availability

1. Click on the link above - List Your Availability

2. Enter the ABVO website and click on the OASIS tab at the top of the page.

3. Follow the directions on the OASIS page to create a new user or hit Continue and enter your user name and password if you already have one.

4. When entering your availability, please do not go in and mark yourself available for every tournament. This leads to no-shows and makes the assignor very unhappy with you. The Junior Development Officials will only be assigned to the 12's tournaments at the beginning of the season so mark only those tournament days in February and March that you know you are available. Once you know your monthly schedule go in and mark yourself available on the days in the next month that you are allowed to work and are available. The 2008 12's tournament dates are Feb 2, Feb 16, March 1, March 15, April 12, May 3. The 12's are listed on the Junior Girls schedule under Club Division tournaments.

5. If your availability changes after you have indicated you could work, PLEASE go in and change your availability on the OASIS system. If your availability changes less than one week before the tournament, a phone call to the Peter Meyer is necessary. This is because the assignments will already be posted and no one will be checking the availability page anymore. You must now BAG on your assignment - not a good thing to do unless there are no other options. Do not just email Peter, you need to CALL him to make sure he gets the information. Peter's email ktnpt@msn.com and phone #s (Cell) 928-380-1491 or (Home) 928-443-0095

6. Check for your assignment by clicking on the link above - Check for your Assignment. Even if you are not available, check the assignment pages weekly to make sure you have not been scheduled on a day you are unavailable. If your name appears and you know you had not indicated you could work or your availability has changed, you MUST call Peter and let him know. This will allow the Official's Assignor a chance to get a replacement rather than have a no-show at the tournament on Saturday. Get in the habit of checking the Assignment page and your email weekly during the club volleyball season.

7. As the season end nears, you may be asked to work a few 14's tournaments. If you have been asked, go in and mark the days you are available to work 14's tournaments on the OASIS system. Make sure to check the Assignment Page on Monday or Tuesday if you have marked yourself available.
