REFEREEING OPPORTUNITIES

Becoming a volleyball referee is a remarkable opportunity to contribute to the sport, inspire sportsmanship, enhance your skills, and participate in a pathway that can lead all over the globe. We encourage individuals young and old from all backgrounds to consider taking up the vital role of a volleyball referee.

As a volleyball referee, you are entrusted with maintaining the integrity of the game. Your role extends beyond merely enforcing the rules – you become an ambassador for Volleyball, sportsmanship, fair play and most importantly fun!

Officiating provides a platform for you to continually improve and refine your own understanding of the game. You'll become more knowledgeable about the sport with each match you officiate.

Refereeing fosters leadership, as you must make split-second decisions and maintain control without being imposing over the match, ensuring a fair and respectful environment for all participants.

Becoming a referee connects you with the vibrant volleyball community. You'll build relationships with players, coaches, and fellow officials, forging connections that can last a lifetime.

The pathway of officiating extends to the highest levels of volleyball. Referees can aspire to officiate at local, national, and international competitions, including the Olympics and world championships.

Through mentorship and training programs, you can enhance your officiating skills and knowledge. Many seasoned officials are dedicated to helping newcomers navigate the intricate world of volleyball refereeing.

Just like coaches and athletes and coaches, referees can leave a lasting legacy. Renowned referees are celebrated for their contributions to the sport and their impact on fair competition.

By becoming a volleyball referee, you not only serve the sport but also open doors to a rewarding journey. Whether you're a junior and just starting out or aiming to be the Next Australian FIVB referee, the pathway is filled with opportunities to grow, learn, and become an integral part of the volleyball community. It's a role that allows you to leave a lasting mark on the sport and inspire sportsmanship at all levels.
