Find the information you'll need to officiate this season with all the new rules added to this year's official NFHS rule book. Also,  you'll find any new information for high school, college, and club volleyball officials on this page.

Don't miss out on the many opportunities to find training clinics, classes, and practical experience offered by MAVO. There is no excuse for not being the best official you possibly can be this year. MAVO offers the best training of any sports officials association in Maine, and our new officials are prepared to work varsity matches in their very first assignment(s).

Get ready early and give yourself the opportunity to be prepared to work this coming high school girls season in Maine. It all starts with registering and paying your association dues. Our MAVO dues remain at $60 per year. REGISTRATION is now open, and you can pay your dues online with your credit/debit card.

If you plan on working both high school AND college-level OR college-level only volleyball matches you must register through PAVO.ORG. Your MAVO dues are included automatically in your PAVO registration.

There are hundreds, if not thousands of little things that go into making a great volleyball official, and the sad part is, until something happens during a match, usually at the worst possible time, you can't be prepared because you just haven't been told. Until now! 

   Here is our short list of over 75 different things everybody needs to know but nobody ever tells you . . . until NOW!

As sports officials, we can often be our own worst critics, especially when assessing our performance during our initial matches. To help new officials understand their roles better, here is a self-assessment form. Completing this form can identify areas for improvement. After your first few matches, review this list to ensure you remember all your responsibilities
