General Statement

Teams are expected to be proficient in their officiating duties.  This means work crews should be able to efficiently score and facilitate a match without unnecessary delays.

Accessing Training

• Log into your SportsEngine account – click here to be taken to the log-in screen and log in with your e-mail and password.

If there isn’t a direct link to USAV Academy on your home screen, follow the next steps below.

• Click on “Household”
• Click on the profile card of the member wishing to access training.
• Click on “View Details” link that’s part of the membership card.
• Click on the blue “USAV Academy” button at the top right of the screen.

Reminders

• CEVA does not prevent participation by a player based on completion of ref/score courses.  Any denial of participation due to ref/score courses being incomplete is done by an individual’s club, not by the region. 
• CEVA also does not set a deadline by which ref/score courses must be completed.  Any deadline imposed is done so by an individual’s club, not by the region. 

Juniors Courses

CEVA will list the available courses for juniors here once they are finalized by USA Volleyball

Requirements in CEVA

• It is recommended that each roster have at least two individuals that are certified for each work crew position (e.g., scorer, assistant scorer, R1, R2, line judge). 
• Junior players may officiate in the R1 position in the CEVA region, upon completion of referee training through the region and with approval from the CEVA office.
• For all CEVA sanctioned tournaments at the 12s level, teams are required to provide either a score-certified, rostered adult or a score-certified junior player at least 15 years of age to help the table crew.  This is in addition to providing the required R1.  This individual can be a coach or older player from another team and must be able to provide proof of membership and completion of eligibility requirements. 

Response & Remedy

• Teams who exhibit low proficiency as a work team at a CEVA-sanctioned event may be reported to the office by their head officials.  This serves as the team’s only warning and they may be required to engage in additional training to increase proficiency. 
• Teams who continue to exhibit low proficiency after being reported may be subject to a $100 fine per incident in addition to further training requirements.
