HOW TO BECOME A COLLEGIATE (PAVO) VOLLEYBALL OFFICIAL
Nearly all collegiate volleyball officials begin as a high school volleyball official. There are numerous valuable skills that are learned at the high school level of officiating that should be mastered before becoming a collegiate official.
Because many of the people who wish to learn to officiate the sport of volleyball have no prior experience with the sport, either as a player, coach, or referee, it is important to have at least three-five years of officiating experience at the high school, or club level. Once a high school volleyball referee has several years of experience, the next step can be at the collegiate level, which requires much more training, and a firm dedication to the craft.
