Resources and information about refereeing in the region
Referee Development provides an opportunity to play a key role in the delivery and enjoyment of the game of volleyball for all players, coaches and participants.
Refereeing in volleyball delivers consistent opportunities to support the competition and events you are involved and is a great way to give back to the game after you have finished playing.
Refereeing provides the chance for our members to utilise and develop people skills, and pursue a challenging path that provides opportunities from local levels right through to the international stage.
$50 per participant
August 1st 10am-4pm
Palmy Arena 1- JA Russell Lounge (top floor of grandstands)
The course will be offered to 14 max participants.
Regional Referees are required for Central Zone and IPC. VNZ have also suggested that this may become a requirement for NZSSVC Coaches.
Led by National Referee Ray Manson, the day will serve as the Regional Theory Course and Written Exam.
Engagement in the course and passing the written exam makes the participant a successful Regional Candidate. Regional Qualification also requires assessments at 1st Referee, 2nd Referee and Scoresheet. We will work with successful attendees throughout Central Zone and following events to provide opportunities for assessment.
Full Qualification requires continued engagement and attendance of referee regulation update workshops.
Manawatu Affiliated Clubs attending Central Zone this year will be offered 1 free participant entry.
Open to all Secondary School Students looking to learn basic reffing skills and rules. Great for those entering Secondary School Social League or Junior Premier League
