BECOME A REF OR COACH
BECOME A REF OR COACH
Big City Volleyball is on the lookout for qualified individuals to Referee & Coach
To qualify, applicants should possess a strong knowledge of the game of volleyball (the rules, subtleties, and of course complete mastery of what is and isn’t a carry, etc.). Ideally, you have officiated previously (possibly in college, high school, at tournaments, Club, USA Volleyball, GEVA, etc.) or have coaching experience. If you have never officiated or coached, you may still qualify if you have very strong volleyball skills, been playing volleyball for a long time, and truly know the game inside and out.
You may not be qualified if you have only been playing the game for just a few years. But we have found that extremely high level players with good people skills (and a love for the game) can make very good refs and coaches, after a little training in the Big City way.
Referee & Coaching candidates should be available to work two or three evenings a week including weekends. For most weekday actvities, you should be on-site around 6pm. Weekend and summer start times vary.
