2024 Rookie Boot Camp
This event will provide information to new and prospective officials regarding the process of becoming a certified NFHS (National Federation of State High School Associations) high school girls volleyball official.
The Maine high school girls volleyball season typically runs from the first week of school in September, through the final week of October, and the Maine Association of Volleyball Officials is the organization which provides instruction and assigns all volleyball officials in the state of Maine.
New volleyball officials are typically offered a match schedule that can include freshman matches, as well as junior varsity/varsity double-header contests. Most assignments require officials to be court side by either 3:30 or 4 p.m. during the week, and the assignments typically conclude before 7:30 p.m. Some Saturday matches may also be available.
Interested adults (18+) with or without previous sports officiating experience are encouraged to attend this event to get a head start on their career with the Maine Association of Volleyball Officials. This event really is the best way to get started, although it is not required to attend the Rookie Boot Camp to become a MAVO member.
Additionally, a series of summer instructional sessions are offered for new officials to gain some on-court experience prior to the start of their first season. These sessions are invaluable for those wishing to become a high school volleyball referee. Dates, times, and locations
Classroom instruction, rules clinics, and instructional play-dates will be scheduled for August, prior to the start of the 2024 season.
