General Officials Clinic Information (everyone follows these steps to begin):

  • EVERYONE can take the clinics online this year.
  • Experienced Officials may have ability to take pre-quizzes to shorten some of the modules they will view online.
  • All Clinics are accessed from within your Carolina Region/USA Volleyball Sports Engine Member account!  For help with how to access the USAV Academy from within your SE account, click here.
  • We have auto-enrolled all Junior members into these five modules to make it easier to view and complete them.  When Junior members go to their USAV Academy site, they should see they are enrolled in those modules automatically.  Clicking on each module will allow them to complete them.  NOTE:  There will be some delay between the purchase your membership and the courses appearing in your USAV Academy.  The two systems have to communication with one another and this does not happen instantly.  Please allow up to 2 hours for the courses to appear.
  • We are now able to auto-enroll all our Coaches into the five Junior modules needed to meet the minimum team officiating requirement (1 certified adult per roster).  All coaches will see the modules in their USAV Academy after they purchase a COACH (only) membership. This course will not certify an adult to work as a professional referee (register as a professional referee to get enrolled in the applicable clinics to work as a professional referee). NOTE:  There will be some delay between the purchase your membership and the courses appearing in your USAV Academy.  The two systems have to communication with one another and this does not happen instantly.  Please allow up to 2 hours for the courses to appear.
  • Non-Coach Adult memberships will not be enrolled in any courses.  If those individuals want to take any officiating modules, they should go to their USAV Academy site, choose the Content Library section in the menu, then they can enroll in any courses they wish.
  • When you complete your curriculum, your officials certification (under Credentials tab) will be updated AUTOMATICALLY to show the modules completed!
  • If you have not applied for your 2025 membership yet, you will need to do that first.  Go to our Online Registration Information page for instructions on registering for membership or contact your club for their Public Assignment Link (preferred if you are affiliated with a club).
  • Reminder that we do not have any requirements on INDIVIDUALS to take officiating clinics.  We auto enroll Junior members and coaches into the Junior officiating coursework to make access to them easier.  Being enrolled in the courses does not mean all individuals must complete the coursework.  We have a TEAM officiating requirement only.  Each team must have 3 certified Junior Refs and 1 certified Adult on the roster to be a legal team (and to be able to handle the officiating duties during a tournament).  Some clubs have stricter requirements so contact your club about their requirements to determine if you need to take the courses your are enrolled in.
