Refereeing Courses

The FIVB refereeing courses are in place to keep referees' knowledge and competence of volleyball and beach volleyball rules in line with current trends in the sport.

International Referee Candidate courses and Continental events, as well as refresher courses are held throughout the year. The goal of FIVB is to encourage the development of refereeing skills all over the world.

In 2012 a successful volleyball International Referee Candidate Course for women was organised in Turkey in line with the aim of the FIVB and its Refereeing Commission to increase the number of female international referees.

Some courses for the 2013 still need to be finalised and will be confirmed shortly.
