USAV Clinic

If you are interested in getting certified to work adult city league or any of the bases in the spring you need to get USAV certified. Willy Reeder will be conducting a clinic in late January or early February. You can contact Dana at diaasland@hotmail.com and I will forward your interest to Willy.

Thats all folks...

The season is over and I thank all of you for a great season. As usual you all showed up for your commitments and represented AVOA well. Special thanks for letting me know ahead of time any conflicts with your assignments and a huge thank you to those who filled in. I have e-mailed all of your worklists for review before I send it into Randy. If there are mistakes, now is the time to figure it out. If you need me to send again, I can. Thanks again. I hope to get everyone paid around December 20th - it just depends on the school district.

Middle School Volleyball

Normally we use the High School kids to work these matches, but they have decided to have their first 2 jamborees on Oct. 30th and Nov. 1st starting at 1:30 and ending at 7:00 or 7:30. I need 13 officials to cover all these matches and it pays about $20 per match which are 1 to 20 for round robin and about $25 for the 2 best of 3 bracket play. An easily $150+ night. Let me know if you are interested.

Please start noticing when you are able to start your JV matches. I have been to 2 conference matches so far and I have not been able to do the coin toss till about 6:20 on both nights.

Hair clips

Got the chance to work all levels this weekend. The competition looks pretty even so don't expect fast matches this season. As I worked the JV and C team matches I noticed lots of metal hair clips so be on the lookout. Also, keep an eye on Libero replacements taking place in front of the attack line - usually happend when the front row player was going in. I plan to post the first weeks assignments by tomorrow. I advised the Bartlett JV coach to use the proper line-up form, but other then that everyone was using the new form.

Joan Powell Clinic

Joan Powell will be presenting an officiating clinic for AVOA on Wednesday, August 29th from 5-9pm at the UAA student center. The conference room is downstairs across from the Subway - for more specific directions contact Dana or Julie. Please all attend this free clinic and get another perspective on officiating volleyball.

Cordova and Valdez Needs Officials

Valdez has a 9 team Varsity tournament the weekend of September 15th - you would have to leave Friday or even Thursday night and get back on Sunday. They say they will provide airfare, lodging, and perdiem for food $35 a day. Pool play is round robin 1 game to 25 and bracket play is best of 3. They also may have a few home matches that need covered. DAtes????

I will be getting into contact with Cordova again this year to see when they need officials - not sure if they need 2 at a time or 1

Let me know if you are willing to travel to these places, first come first serve. I will basically get you in touch with the powers that be there and you can communicate on your own. Hopefully they will let me know dates to pass on to you.

Info

Please check back to this site as I will use it to post upcoming assignments. I hope to do one or 2 weeks in advance. I will also provide you access to the site so that you can make your own postings to help communicate with other officials. Please keep postings clean and informative. Not an area to leave negative comments about players, coaches, and fellow officials.
