General Information About USAV Beach Officials Training Programs
USAVolleyball offers three levels of beach officiating certification: LOCAL, ZONAL and NATIONAL.
In all cases, students are trained in all aspects of beach officiating, to include scorekeeping, line judging, and officiating from both the 1st and 2nd referee positions.
All training includes study of written materials as well as hands-on experience in real beach volleyball competitions.
LOCAL candidates may apply to either our single-day CLINICS or to our multi-day CAMPS
Once certified, LOCAL beach volleyball officials are eligible to officiate junior beach volleyball events, or perhaps to assist at higher level events.
Candidates for Local certification are requested to complete our application, however, you need not be too particular regarding the details of your beach resume’.
Fees for LOCAL candidacy are set by the host Region, and vary from event to event.
There are not any prerequisites to applying for LOCAL certification; anyone may apply.
ZONAL candidates may also choose to attend either a single-day clinic, or a multi-day camp.
Candidates are required to submit a volleyball-related resume in addition to the basic application. Applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis
National and Junior National indoor referees, or candidates with extensive beach playing, coaching or officiating experience, have a great chance to be accepted.
The Zonal certification course is hosted by our cadre of National Clinicians.
The course includes mandatory classroom study and a Rules exam, as well as significant on-sand practical experience.
Successful ZONAL candidates are recommended to NCAA collegiate officiating, as well as to any USAV junior event.
Applications, including a beach resume', are required of all Zonal candidates.
Please complete the Application Form carefully, with full attention to providing a complete Beach resume’.
NATIONAL certification is the highest level offered by USAVolleyball
Beach officials should serve for at least a year as ZONAL beach officials before considering application for their NATIONAL certification.
Candidates may self-nominate and apply, but must be approved as candidates by an administrative committee.
USAV usually hosts only one NATIONAL course per year.
National beach officials are among those likely to be recommended to the professional beach volleyball tours and the NCAA National Championships
After three years experience at the National level, officials become eligible for consideration to be recommended to the FIVB as International Beach Volleyball Referee candidates. That program is wholly managed by the FIVB.
TRAINING EVENT FEE STRUCTURE:
CLINICS are one-day training events.
They begin with a mandatory classroom session, usually held the evening before the competition. (6 to 9pm is typical)
Candidates work for a full day of on-sand evaluation, with formal feedback from members of our National Rating/Training Team
Clinic Fees:
NATIONAL $200
ZONAL $200
LOCAL: as set by host Region. Often about $75
CAMPS are multi-day training events.
The multi-day format offers the opportunity for new officials to get a great deal of personal instruction and feedback.
Each camp includes the evening classroom session, one or two days of hands-on training on sand, then one day of formal evaluation.
Camp Fees:
ZONAL $300
LOCAL: as set by host Region. Often about $75, plus possible extra days for additional daily fee
Note:
Generally speaking, candidates are NOT likely to be employed in the same event “day after after certification.”
Exceptions to this policy will be specifically noted in event descriptions.
