COMMISSIONER CRANSWICK | GAME OFFICIALS

The Arizona Region of USA Volleyball is excited to announce an uptick in game officials signing on for the new season.

Thanks to nationwide efforts by USA Volleyball and the USAV Regions, more volleyball enthusiasts are discovering the benefits of becoming referees — and it’s making a difference right here in Arizona.

️ AZ Region Commissioner Harold Cranswick sat down with our #AZVolleyballMom to talk about this exciting momentum, and we also hear directly from officials Jim Feickert and Sevy Malcolm about what it means to be part of this growing community.

It has been a rough start to the Boys tournament season in regards to officials. There were about half of the officials at the General Assembly and Officials Division Meeting as a normal year. COVID is also still an issue for some.

Please let your coaches know that they could possibly be the R1 during the team ref assignment at any of our events. It is better to know it upfront than to arrive and be told. So far we have not been notified of the shortage until Friday nights.

Please also encourage your coaches to be appreciative when they have a paid R1 on their court - even if they are not the highest level official. Keep the complaining to a minimum so that they will come back.

We are crediting each team $24 per match in which they have to provide the R1 during their ref assignment. If the person that takes the stand is a certified R1 official, we will pay them their regular match pay in Arbiter when the other officials get paid. If they are not in Arbiter, we will credit the club.
