USAV Officials Clinic

If you are interested in officiating ASA or club tournaments you will need to be USAV certified. A clinic is being held on Sunday, September 27th from 12:00 to 3:00 at the Midnight Sun Gym.

The fees this year will be in 2 parts: $20 to AVOA (due at the clinic) and $37 will be paid when you register yourself with USAV (soon to be set up). The $37 covers your USAV membership fee, extended insurance coverage, and a background check.

USAV is requiring all officials and coaches to be background checked through their company.

Reminder - Head Coach can stand

Another quick reminder - the new rule this year in NFHS allowing the head coach to stand (during a live ball) is restricted to an area bounded by the extension of the attack line and the extension of the end line. This area also should never encroach within six feet of the sideline. I will be reminding coaches of these boundaries as well, but I wanted our group to be a bit more proactive in monitoring coach's adherence to this new rule. I've witnessed coaches standing well beyond the extension of the end line during play which is not within the scope of the new rule. As Dana Aasland reminded me , coaches can approach the sideline during a dead ball only.

THANKS! Keep up the good work!

Region IV Pre-Match protocol reminder

The question has again been raised since the clinic as to the prematch protocol for Region IV (Anchorage/Eagle River) matches.

To review, as per NFHS rules the Home Team shall designate their team bench for the first set of the match.

The visiting team will call the original coin toss AND shall have the first timed warm up period. The home team will have the second warm up period. This is regardless of who wins the coin toss and who elects to serve first.

If you have any further questions please reply to this post so all members will be able to view/join the discussion!

Thanks - Mike
