Junior Development Official's Training Clinic

The Jr. Officials officiating and scorekeeping Training clinic has not been scheduled yet. The site is still being determined. We will post it here an on the Official's Home Page when it is scheduled. The clinic will last approximately 4 hours.

Check out the USA Volleyball Ref Training Website. It is a good website to learn more about the referee and scorekeeping side of the game.

Interested in Becoming a Junior Development Official?

The AZ Region will again be offering a Junior Development Officials Program for the 2011-12 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 working 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.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • To have reliable transportation (car or parent) to and from the assigned sites.

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 2012 12's tournament dates are Jan 28, Feb 11, Feb 18, March 3, March 24, April 14, May 5. The Girls 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.

8. Payroll is processed monthly. The information is sent to our payroll processing company on the first of each month. The checks are returned to the office on the 2nd of the month and the checks are mailed out that day. The checks are normally payable on the 5th of the month. Direct deposits will be available on the 5th of the month. If you have a question about what you were paid - contact Peter Meyer.
