We are adding another coach to the team, Jamar Kelley. He will be a valuable asset to the team he will be contributing during our practices and keeping stats during our tournaments.

Our time for the score and ref clinic is at 6:00-8:00 PM at Arizona Christian University (2625 E. Cactus Rd, Phoenix 85032). This is MANDATORY for all athletes and coaches!

The Girls Score/Ref clinics will be done a little differently this season. With the advent of online training a new integrative website has been developed by USA Volleyball for official's training.

The website is www.volleyballreftraining.com. To access the modules Click on Training Materials, then click on Junior Training Materials. The modules to be taken for Scorer are Junior Scorer and Libero Control. The modules to be taken for Referee are Junior Second Referee and Linesman. Those are the required modules. Feel free to take other modules for education as you wish. There is a lot of very good information on the website. Encourage your parents to view the modules as well to educate them on the rules of the game.

Remember that a junior player cannot be allowed to be a second referee, perform scorer duties or line judge unless they have completed the specific training modules. All coaches are required to do the same, since they must supervise all reffing team duties. The object of the modules is to train the players and coaches to be proficient in their officiating duties - not only for their knowledge but for the smooth operation of the tournaments. It is an important part of keeping the day running smoothly.

Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving and we cannot wait to see you back in the gym!
