Every junior club is required to educate their players and coaches on all aspects of refereeing and scoring. Coaches and players must know and be able to perform the duties of a first referee, second referee, line judge, scorer and libero tracker so that they are capable of serving on work crews at tournaments. Clubs can educate their players and coaches in one of two ways.

HOST A JUNIOR CLUB OFFICIATING CLINIC
Clubs in their first or second season must host this 2.5-hour clinic, which is run by a professional official.

  1. Complete the Junior Work Crew – Clinic Request Form (1st clinic request is FREE for 2020-21)
  2. You will receive a confirmation email from Badger Region once your date & clinician has been confirmed.
  3. Submit the Junior Club Ref/Scorer Training Report Form on the forms page upon clinic completion.
