Referees Needed in Maryland and Northern Virginia
Ray Lowman
     Fall recreational leagues in Maryland and Northern Virginia will be starting up in the August/September timeframe, and we are anticipating that the demand for referees will be higher than ever. You can help as a certified referee! We have several thousand matches to officiate in women's, men's, and coed leagues, with the levels of competitions ranging from AA to C. Most leagues have from two matches to five matches a night. The seasons often run approximately 10 weeks, and you are paid at the end of each season.

     The CHRVA Officials Division certainly needs your help as a referee to cover these matches! Officiating in these recreation leagues can provide you with the opportunity to gain experience and raise your proficiency level. While you are learning, the players will also benefit by having knowledgeable officials contribute to their  competitions. This is a chance as an official to help raise the level of volleyball play in the Chesapeake Region.

     If you are interested in working, you must be a certified USAV referee, with at least a current Provisional rating, you must be in good standing in our region (CHRVA) and have the proper equipment and uniform.

     Please contact the Assignor in your area to receive assignments and to find out more about the leagues where referees are provided. With your help we can give these leagues outstanding officials, and they will have an enjoyable season.
