Due to safety concerns for our Staff and Families we are not quite ready to go full open yet!  Players and Parents are allowed to go down and work out in family units.  We can't have multiple families working out together.  Social Distancing must be adhered to at all times.  Please be advised that the balls must be sanitized after each practice.  Please contact Jeff Pratt to schedule a court time.

We have some Coaches willing to work one on one with some private lessons, but not yet in groups.  Please be advised that the balls must be sanitized after each practice.  If you would like to schedule a private lesson, please contact a Coach of your choice.  The coach will then schedule the court time with Jeff.

You can watch the Google Calendar here on the website for court availability.  Currently we are only using Court #3

Our plans are to hold tryouts and form our teams earlier than normal.  My hopes are to have the Teams formed by September 1st.  This will allow us to get teams and tournaments scheduled, and know how many teams we will have.  This will also allow the parents a few additional months to complete the club dues payments.  This year we are going to try to have all the dues paid by December 1st.  We are anticipating some vacant slots on the teams so invite your friends to join in on the fun!!

We are going to try to keep the costs the same as last year.  The only club fundraiser that we will be holding is a Serve-a-Thon to be held the first of November.  All monies raised will go to the player's family to be used for membership fees and travel expenses.

Please watch this website through the summer as we will be forming our teams around the end of August.

Below is a paper that one of our Extreme Slam 12's turned in at school. 

We can all learn a lot about priorities and what is truly important.  It is so easy to get caught up in moment and be all about winning, but remember to look at the big picture and learn an awesome life lesson.

Parents and Players - Below please find all the information about the referee training that each player will need to complete.  Please get with your coaches to find out what specific Clinics/Modules that they want you to be certified in.  Some teams will be completing all the modules, some will ask you to concentrate on specific ones.  Get with your Coach to make sure you complete the correct Modules.

All teams are only required to have six certified officials on their team rosters. These certifications are: one adult R1; one R2; one Score keeper; one Libero tracker; and two line judges. The Delta Region does not require that everyone on the team have a certification, as long as these six certifications are filled. Some clubs may require all players to take everything---sorry---if so, expect to be on the computer for about 2.4 hours to complete all courses.

Certifications are posted immediately to the team roster.  An individual certification will be listed on the team roster as a Badge: 1-means they are certified to R1; 2-means they are certified to R2; S-certified to keep score ; J-certified to Line Judge; and L-certified to be a Libero tracker.

A "P"  listed on the team roster means that individual is not certified-they are still in-progress. If a team member has a "P" on the team roster, that individual needs to log back into the Academy to see which Module was missed.

Want to help your child’s team with their officiating responsibilities during a tournament? The Delta Region has a special membership for parents of players for only $27.00! With the “Chaperone” membership you can be added to the team roster which will allow you to be court-side to call lines, keep score or even referee. I’m sure the team’s coach would appreciate the help.

Just go to JOIN NOW to become a member, choosing the Chaperone category. You will need to undergo a background screening at a cost of $18.50, become certified to officiate and you will need to take the FREE SafeSport training course—because we want to keep our young athletes safe. Talk with your team coach for instructions and join USA Volleyball and the Delta Region today!

You should be able to tell when you have completed your certification while reviewing your USAV Academy main page.

Just click on the My Certificates icon to the left of the Learning Activities column for your completed 2019 certificates. 

Please note: If you have signed up for several clinics (for example if you signed up for clinics R2,scoring, and line judge) your certification will not post until you have completed all three clinics. It's best to sign up for one clinic at a time. Then your certification will post immediately when you finish.

To double-check your certification, log back into your member account in Webpoint. If you have completed the courses required for each clinic/certification, your certification will be posted to your member record and your membership card. 

If it is not immediately posted you have not completed all the courses required for certification! 

To check to see what you still need, click back on the USAV Academy button and look at your courses still listed in the Learning Activities column. If you see a course with a Green GO Button--you must take that course.

Listed below are the Officiating Clinics offered in the Delta Region for members of Junior Clubs. Please note only Club Adults are expected to take the First Referee Clinic. Expected completion time is listed for each module. All members of Junior Clubs are eligible to take the clinics, which include: Junior players, managers, coaches and chaperones who could serve as part of the officiating team at a USA Volleyball sanctioned Junior Tournament. Each person participating on the Officiating Team must have taken the course and be certified for the duty they perform.

The first thing you need to do when getting ready to take the online Officials Clinics is REGISTER for the clinic in your USAV Member Account. Doing this will synchronize your USAV Academy credentials to match your current Webpoint (member account) login information giving the system a place to post your certifications. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR CLINICS DIRECTLY THROUGH THE VOLLEYBALL ACADEMY!! Hint--make sure your password does not have any special characters like $, &, @, etc. The system will not allow you to take the online clinics with special characters in your password--the password becomes invalid.

To register for the clinics:

1. Go to webpoint.usavolleyball.org to login to your Member Account
2. Enter your Username and Password
3. On the left bottom section of the page look for the Region Clinics tab (not USAV Clinics) and then click on Region Ref/Score Clinics
4. A list of clinics will then come up on the page. Read each description carefully for the clinic you wish to take. If you are a junior player—only take the clinics listed for junior players. DO NOT TAKE ANY CLINICS WITH PROFESSIONAL IN THE TITLE.
5. Then click on the Register Now button to the right of the clinic name.
6. Fill in and submit all your member information and hit submit. Confirm the information on the next screen and hit register.
7. After you register for the clinic, you will receive a popup confirmation with a link to the Academy where the online clinics are hosted. If you aren’t ready to start yet—no worries—you can log back into the clinics later from your Member Account.

To log in to the place where the Delta Region Clinics can be found (after you register in your Member Account), just click on the  “Volleyball Academy” red button on your Member Account page. You will then be directed to the Academy's Learning Material site. 

When you have completed all modules for the clinic you registered for, your certification will immediately appear under the Officiating tab on the first page of your Member Account. If your page still list “in-progress” this means that you have not completed all of the modules. Log back into the Academy to see what you missed. Some clinics have more than one module; look below to find out what modules are needed to complete a clinic.

Please Note: Watch the introduction to the clinics first that is titled "2020 Officiating Overview" for instructions on taking the modules. This is a requirement to receive your certification(s).

COMPLETED CERTIFICATIONS ARE POSTED IMMEDIATELY TO THE INDIVIDUALS MEMBER RECORD AND THE TEAM ROSTER WHEN YOU HAVE COMPLETED EVERY CLINIC YOU SIGNED UP FOR...HINT: Only sign up for one clinic at a time. Then when you finish that particular clinic, your certification will immediately post. If you sign up for several clinics at the same time, none of your certifications will post until you complete everything.

Run in to a problem while taking the online officiating clinics? Worry no more!
