Becoming a Sitting Referee

At this time, Volleyball Canada does not have a domestic program in place for Sitting Volleyball. The hope of the National Referee Committee is to have a strategic plan created within the coming year (2012-2013), to better service the Sitting community in Canada.

Internationally, there does however exist a development structure to certify International Referees. The World Organisation Volleyball for Disabled (WOVD) is responsible for all Sitting Referees. Their main requirements include:

• Already being a active qualified able-bodied National Referee in Canada
• Successfully completing the WOVD International Referee Course
• Not having reached your 45th birthday on the first day of the WOVD Course
