registration 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 revised 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 SportsEngine.
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. For non-citizens the fee may vary by country.
The Foreign Guest Officials Membership link is now available for folks from Canada, Puerto Rico, and other countries to sign up. The process is streamlined and easy to follow, but you must make sure you complete all the steps. The USAV office may be able to help if you have trouble. Contact is:
Pati Rolf, Director of Officials.
4065 Sinton Rd., Ste. 200
Colorado Springs, CO 80907
T: (719) 228-6800
SafeSport is available in Spanish if you would prefer to complete it that way.
Here is the link for Foreign Guest Officials to register:

USA Volleyball requires that all Foreign Guest Officials be IN GOOD STANDING with their home federation. It is STRONGLY recommended that each official contact their Federation Leadership to make sure they are IN GOOD STANDING and able to work in the USA. USAV will obtain confirmation from that country that each official is IN GOOD STANDING, and final sign off on eligibility will be held until the IN GOOD STANDING status is confirmed.
Please get this started as soon as possible if you need to work in January. Background screens can take several weeks to clear.

ZEBRAWEB Registration
To officiate in the Florida Region at our region sanctioned events you must be registered in our ZEBRAWEB assigning system. ZEBRAWEB 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 ZEBRAWEB system, send an email to sue@floridavolleyball.org. You will receive an invitation to join by email. Once you join, enter your availability. You do this by blocking dates that you are unavailable. 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 BLOCK those dates in ZEBRAWEB.

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.
