Become A Referee/Coach
Big City Volleyball is ALWAYS on the lookout for qualified individuals to Referee & Coach!
Overview of qualifications:
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.
You may not be qualified if you have only been playing the game for just a few years. But we have found that passionate players with good people skills can make very good refs and/or 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. Most weekday activities, take place around 6pm. Weekend and summer start times vary.
