Hi all,

Thank you once again for attending the Level 2 Referee Course. I would like to congratulate all of you for becoming Level 2 Candidates. I will get confirmation from VA regarding Level 2 Candidacy status and upon confirmation, I or a VA representative will send through your certificates.

Slides: Please find a copy of the slides here. 

Opportunities:  community@nswvbrefs.org.au and appointments@nswvbrefs.org.au are in charge of community volleyball referee allocations and SVL/ AVL (big tournaments) appointments respectively. Please send through an email to these email addresses if you choose to be part of the wider volleyball community. 

Upgrades: Here’s a link to a very important site from VARC. It is a link to all the resources that you will need from requirements for upgrades, the referee log (which is also attached in the email), shortcuts to the rules/ guidelines/ casebook and more. I strongly advise (again) that when you do ask for a full game assessment, you tick all the boxes for the Level 2 Referee’s Competency (also attached) before requesting a full game assessment. When you are ready, email Sam @ appointments@nswvbrefs.org.au to see when it's possible to have an assessment.

When you have fulfilled all requirements (3 x 1st (1 x min. assessment) etc…)  for Level 2, you can submit your log form to secretary@nswvbrefs.org.au. Your application will be assessed by the NSWVRA board who will decide on your Level 2 Accreditation endorsement to VA.

Payments: For payments of referee games, your best contact is Laymond (also cc’d treasurer@nswvbrefs.org.au). We will be using your bank details from RevSport such that he can process your referee payments.

Mentorship: As a bonus to the workshop, I mentioned in the course, we don't have an active mentorship program but if you want to learn more or progress further in the officiating side of volleyball, I suggest you find yourself a mentor/s. This person or these people can be someone you trust, someone who can give you feedback, or someone who you enjoy working with to be your mentor. 

NSWVRA membership: If you would like to pursue a refereeing career, please join our member base on Revsport. We will automatically place you in our emailing list for refereeing opportunities, events and so much more! 

Best wishes,

Scott

Course Coordinator (courses@nswvbrefs.org.au)
