MAVO MISSION STATEMENT


1.  Certifying or rating officials as authorized by the Professional Association of Volleyball Officials. (“PAVO”); The National Federation of State High School Associations and its officials’ affiliate the National Federation of High School State Associations (“NFHS”), and USA Volleyball (“USAV”).  

2.  Provide for the training of officials in accordance with affiliated agency certification requirements.

3. Standardizing and improving officiating through authorized PAVO, NFHS, and USAV  certification or training clinics.  

4. Promoting the use of affiliated agency-certified officials for all volleyball programs.   

5. Enforcing the standards of conduct for officials compatible with the philosophy and requirements of the affiliated agencies and their respective regional or district entities, and the by-laws of this organization.  

DOWNEAST VOLLEYBALL OFFICIALS ASSOCIATION

Because of the geographic distance between to two "pockets" of schools currently offering Girls High School Volleyball in Maine, a growing group of officials are located DownEast and up through the "County". MAVO members who live in that part of the state and are assigned matches at those schools have formed their own regional group called the DownEast Volleyball Officials Association (DVOA), for assigning and training purposes. 

  All DVOA members are members in MAVO, but not all MAVO members belong to the DVOA.
