Welcome all returning officials to the Badger Region. This page will help you re-certify as an official in the Badger Region Volleyball Association.
This year, the Region is holding three meetings for officials. Please plan to attend one. All meetings are done for the 2023 season.
All Badger Region officials must be members of USA Volleyball through the Region and (if 18 years old or older) successfully pass a background screen administered during the registration process. Failure to do so will prohibit officials from working junior tournaments. All Badger Region officials must agree to abide by the Badger Region Code of Conduct for Officials.
