Unfortunately, there are times that the regions of USAV do not seem to consider that scheduling all trainings on Sunday just might not work out for everyone.

You might still contact your USAV Region office and let them know of your interest while letting them know that their Sunday schedule just doesn't work out for you. I am quite sure that you are not alone in not being able to attend their trainings.

Already talked to USAV folks (OVR) and let them know of the problem, the response was "oh well", or words to that effect. They must have enough people.

Neither other organization is in my area.

Have you talked or corresponded directly with Brian or did you communicate with the OVR office? Knowing Brian as I do, he might be able to suggest something. In my estimation, Ohio has one of the toughest official training programs in the country from what I have seen of the requirements. But, they are thorough and do an excellent job of making sure that you are well-trained before advancing you to the next rating.

Good luck. I wish you well in getting something accomplished for this season.
