2021Summer Rating / Training Opportunities
The Golden Triangle Volleyball Evaluation & Training Committee will be conducting ratings, evaluations, and new official live-match training at Avonworth High School on July 13 and July 15. There will be 4 – Best-of-3 matches each night starting at 5 p.m. We encourage all officials looking for a more challenging schedule and 2021 playoff consideration ( if not receiving post-season assignments) to contact us to receive a rating / evaluation. All new and newer officials are welcome to attend to shadow officials, line judge, and learn the best methods of officiating from our training staff.. All interested officials need to contact us if interested so we can schedule you in the Arbiter to work these matches. There will not be any compensation for these opportunities, but participating in these matches may positively impact your fall scheduling. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions. Thank you!.  

City League Volleyball Assignments
Tom Bailey will begin assigning the City League this week. Please make sure you contact Tom if you are interested in working the City League. Most City League matches take place in the afternoon. Please block yourself in the afternoon if you are unavailable to work in the afternoon. We have too many officials declining afternoon matches because they do not block themselves. If you are unavailable to work afternoon, then please block yourself. Tom’s email address is (available in Arbiter)

WPIAL Volleyball Assignments 
We will begin assigning WPIAL High School Volleyball matches on August. 1. Please block yourself if you are unavailable to work, especially in the afternoon. If you are working NCAA volleyball, please make sure you are “Sharing” your schedules in the Arbiter. In order to “Share” your schedule, go under “Profile” and share your NCAA schedule with our chapter so we can geographically place you in areas that will keep you close to where are are coming from. We will discuss all scheduling at our meeting on Aug. 1.
