Volleyball Referee Course Detail

ENTRY CONDITIONS

• Participants must be current international referees who have been registered by the FIVB at least 3 times out of the last 5 years. National Federations (and Continental Confederations as the nominating body) are responsible for checking their registration with the FIVB. In case of doubt, the FIVB can be consulted. Participants must be nominated by the Refereeing Commission of the respective Continental Confederation and must be the best international referees who are not currently graded within the FIVB grading system.

• The maximum number of participants per course must not exceed 25 and only the very best of the best international referees will be invited to participate in the course. There is no Continental quota, however each Confederation is required to submit at least one female candidate who must also fit the required participation criteria, specified above and below. To ensure and maintain the quality of refereeing standards required for FIVB events, and for an international referee to be considered by the RG&RC for his/her admission to the FIVB Referee Course, each Continental Confederation’s Refereeing Commission must provide the complete background and volleyball history (volleyball biography) for the International Referee proposed. Should they pass the course, the referees will be Graded as FIVB International Referees at level C, in the first instance.

• All the applicants will follow in advance an entry test to check their knowledge of the Official Volleyball Rules, the Guidelines, and the Casebook and their abilities for speaking/listening in English. This entry test may be done through e-learning or by video link.

• The FIVB reserves its right to reject applicants who are not found in compliance with the course Terms & Conditions, or who do not have the support of their National Federation.
