Resources for Players

We've included a few places here to our players to check out. Some of these pertain to your off-season high school teams, some for more about the sport in general, and some for apparel and equipment. We list All-Volleyball here because we primarily buy our equipment through this supplier and they have treated us well. For ladies looking for collegiate opportunities, Rich Kern's site is a terrific resource, and free!

Rich Kern's Recruiting Registry
Rich is one of the few people involved with online recruiting information who really has the interests of the girls in mind. His site allows athletes to register online and coaches to scan resumes. Nearly all of the college coaches I know use his service. In addition, the site has links to his NCAA women's VB update, a supremely informative site manned by an army of volunteers. Well worth the time!

Resources for Officials

We've included these links for people seeking to become referees. You can download PDF versions of the 2004/2005 indoor rules from the USAV website link above or order the rulebook from USAV (we recommend this version to carry to tournaments). In addition, the Ref Shop is an online resource for officials run by officials... a solid place to shop for whistles, referee uniforms, and other gear.

If you need the Scoresheet Instructions
(don't have a rulebook or didn't get them in a Clinic Handbook) you can download this 34 pg PDF from USAV.
