Training Opportunities
7/24/26 - 7/25/26 @ Baldwin Wallace University in Berea, OH
The OHSAA and the NOVA Group will be hosting an Advanced Officiating /Line Judging Clinic for all Volleyball Officials on July 24th and 25th. This camp is being held at Baldwin Wallace, 275 Eastland Rd, Berea, OH 44017. This will be an all-day session with lunch provided. The cost is $25 for officials.
On Saturday, July 25th, I will be running a line judging clinic with classroom and on-court work available as well.
Purpose: To give officials and line judges the opportunity to be instructed by highly successful officials in both on-court and classroom settings. This includes one-on-one on-court instruction regarding Processes/ Protocols, Mechanics, Techniques, Rules and Rule Interpretation.
Goal: This is a very high-level Clinic (on-court teams are all State caliber from Ohio) and is meant to improve the skills and abilities of newer and experienced volleyball officials and line judges using the most current mechanics and techniques. If you have ever wanted to try high level and never had the opportunity, this is a great way to gauge your talents against the top officials. Clinic will allow for observation from on-court work and obtain feedback.
It will also allow a classroom question and answer session.
Location: Baldwin Wallace College, Berea, OH
Dates: July 24th officials must be there by 9am
Dates: July 25th officials must be there by 8am, line judges 7:45am
Food /snacks/water all day provided
