​Each person participating on the Officiating Team must have taken the course for the duty they perform. It is recommended that all Junior players take at least two of the four courses so that there is adequate coverage for all positions at tournaments. The club may establish a policy to require all four clinics. Online training should be completed before the first tournament. Training will be required for each person participating as part of the officiating team.

Training options include:

• Junior Line Judge Training
• Junior Libero Tracker Training
• Junior Scorer Training
• Junior Second Referee Training
• Junior First Referee Training

Coaches or member adults who could serve as part of the officiating team at a USAV-sanctioned Junior Tournament will take a slightly different course, which has the same basic content as the Junior players. The course is:

• Tournament Officiating Team for Coaches

Requirements for certification have not changed. Junior Team Officials are the members of a Juniors team who will be part of the tournament officiating crew during a team’s assigned work matches at a tournament. New England Region policy requires that these Junior Team Officials be trained before they participate in a match as part of the officiating crew. Here are the training requirements for the season. The work team consists of a minimum of six people. They are:

• Second referee
• Scorer
• Assistant Scorer (Libero tracker)
• Flipper (Visual scoreboard operator)
• Lines Judges (2)

Each person who will function during the season as a second referee, scorer, assistant scorer, or line judge must have completed the online training for each function that they will be performing during the season.
