BLS, while what you say is true, there is an even greater avenue for working more matches and gaining a ton of experience. I am referring to reffing USAV club matches. On a Saturday or Sunday during club season, you will work anywhere between 8 to 10 or 12 MATCHES during the day. Although the mechanics are slightly different from NFHS and NCAA, it is still a great way to gain a lot of experience in a very short amount of time. If you choose to referee for a full club season, you will get the equivalent of 4 or 5 years of high school volleyball officiating experience within a 6-month period. Contact your local Region about signing up and joining us as a USAV official.
