New Policy for Guest Officials
We are happy to have guest officials from other Federations come to officiate our events. Due to issues that have taken place in other sports, USA Volleyball is revising its policy for Foreign Participants. (Officials who are members of other Federations.) The goal here is to be sure that all the athletes are able to experience a safe environment for their competition. Here are the new requirements for guest officials.
1. Everyone will be required to be registered in Webpoint
2. Everyone must be background screened by USA Volleyball's background screen provider
3. Everyone must complete SafeSport training
There will be a fee for background screens. For United States citizens living in Puerto Rico, the fee will be the same as what other US citizens pay, $18. For non-citizens the fee may vary by country, but for Canada it will be $85.

To officiate in the Florida Region at our region sanctioned events you must be registered in our NOVA assigning system. NOVA is where you receive and confirm any assignments for region sanctioned tournaments, whether they are in SportWrench or not. If you are not in the NOVA system, send an email to sue@floridavolleyball.org. You will receive an invitation to join by email. Once you join, enter your availability for the dates you want to work in NOVA and hit "Update." Keep your availability current there, and you will be notified of your assignments and receive important assigning information and announcements.
NOTE: This does NOT apply to any AAU events. If you are working AAU events, please REMOVE your availability from NOVA for those dates.

SportWrench Registration
Many of the tournaments require registration and application in SportWrench. When entering your profile, do not choose USA as your country (even though that is technically correct!) Please choose Puerto Rico as your country. After that you will not be required to enter a USAV member number.
If you have already set up your profile and you need to correct it, you must edit your profile. Click on your name in blue in the top right so it brings up your user profile in SportWrench, and in the top right of that there is a country drop down where you can select Puerto Rico. Once you do that, you are no longer required to enter a USAV Registration # to update their official profile.
