Thank you for your interest in becoming a member of the NORTHEAST CHAPTER 2 VOLLEYBALL OFFICIALS ASSOCIATION.

Each year our chapter has a training program for those individuals who wish to become eligible to officiate high school volleyball. We have designed a program that will train individuals in a comprehensive knowledge of the rules in preparation for the National Federation Test and in the proper mechanics of officiating.

The Cadet Class is a two-year program. Each applicant must complete the application and submit two reference letters, along with the registration fee of $270.00. Once you have been approved for the class, each applicant must then fulfill the following requirements:

Year 1:

• Attend five virtual rules meetings where the rules of volleyball are presented and discussed by the rules interpreter: Sharon Hughes 
• Pass the NFHS written rules test. PASSING GRADE IS 80%.
• Complete eight observations of Varsity/JV matches. Signature sheets will be provided for verification purposes. You are not permitted to officiate varsity matches. 
• Attend two mechanics sessions in-person.
• Complete the NFHS ‘Concussion’, ‘Ball Handling’ and ‘Alignment’ courses prior to taking the NFHS Exam.

Year 2: Provisional:

• Fulfill all chapter requirements as they pertain to dues, meetings, annual refresher test, and concussion certification.
• Submit five unique passing evaluations - each from a different official in the NORTHEAST CHAPTER 2 VOLLEYBALL OFFICIALS ASSOCIATION, certified by NJSIAA who is in good standing. These evaluations must be submitted to the Assistant Cadet Supervisor before approval to become a certified official the following year. 
• Cadets in the second year may schedule and officiate NON-VARSITY MATCHES. This would include freshmen and elementary school. IF NEEDED, THEY MAY OFFICIATE A VARSITY MATCH IN AN EMERGENCY, BUT ONLY AS THE R-2 !!!!!!!
