I would like to let everyone know about the volleyball officiating DVD's that are available. I noticed one message suggested that the official find one to help them get better. Great idea, but I suggest that unless you go to
www.vbofficiating.com you will not find anything or at the least anything that is current.
We have contacted every state athletic association back in May and provided them with a preview copy at the beginning of July. A few states have actually bought videos for all their high school coaches and officials, while some have gotten them just for officials and yet others have seemingly decided to do nothing.
I have received orders from almost every state and most of these are due to Internet searches by officials wanting training material. Why everyone has not heard of these DVD's is an interesting discussion that we will defer to some other time.
I am trying to build a base of contacts in each state to have the names, email, and web sites for assignors and officials associations. If you will forward these to me at
[email protected] I will be greatful.
Thanks and good luck with the remainder of the HS season. If you haven't done so, check out working USAV as well.
Our web site is continuing to evolve, but one thing you can do and its free is checkout the download and links section. We have a nice piece that you can use with your partner before every match.
Some of the questions raised here might also be good with the Ask The Official.
