Volleyball Officials Clinic:
The Illinois Valley Volleyball Officials Association (IVVOA) and NWIVOA will be hosting an IHSA Level 0, 1 and 2 on Sunday, Feb 27th at Mendota High School from 12-4 pm. This clinic will satisfy the IHSA requirement for volleyball officiating. The cost of the clinic is $25 for non-members, $20 for members and $10 for high school or college students (Level 0 only). Doors will open at 11:15 for registration. Snacks will be provided. Please bring a whistle with you.
For anyone not currently a licensed IHSA volleyball official but interested in learning the Level 0 portion of the clinic, this is for you. If you are at least 17 years old, love the sport, want to become a part of a friendly profession and earn extra money doing so, then volleyball officiating is for you. There will be a breakout group specifically for brand new officials, those yet to sign up but have an interest in what it involves and those returning from a hiatus to better educate and prepare you for your first match.
To register or further information, contact Patti Blumhorst at pblumhorst@yahoo.com or (815) 303-3178.
