Coaches need to take CE23_150 Coaches Officiating Training and are advised to take the four juniors' courses as well.


"THE OFFICIALS' PATH" MODULES

These modules contain every course offered in USAV Academy.  These modules are not required to be completed.  They may also be called "The Whole Shebang" modules.

REQUIREMENTS IN CEVA

Teams defined as a 15s team or older are required to have 1 certified scorekeeper, 1 certified assistant scorekeeper, 1 certified R2, 1 certified adult R1, and 2 certified line judges per team.

Teams defined as a 14s team or younger are required to have 2 certified scorekeepers, 2 certified assistant scorekeepers, 2 certified R2s, 1 certified adult R1, and 4 certified line judges per team.

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 eligibility.

Teams who exhibit a low proficiency as a work team may be reported to the office by their head officials.  These teams will be considered "on notice" and may be required to engage in additional training.  Teams who continue to exhibit low proficiency after being placed on notice may be subject to fines.

Occasionally, clubs make it a requirement for all members to complete ref/score training.  This is not a CEVA requirement, but individual clubs are free to have these requirements if they choose.  CEVA does not prevent players from participation simply because they aren't ref/score certified.
