Becoming a Referee
Refereeing is not just about conducting a match following the rules of the game by the letter of the law. In many cases the complex situations you will find in a real game require a deep understanding of the rules, but also of the spirit of the game. Volleyball Ireland’s Education & Training commission have developed a referee pathway and continually work to produce new programmes supporting all officials starting out and progressing within the game.
