Last Saturday, September 6th, more than 30 volleyball officials from across Scotland met at Dundee University’s Sport and Active Health facility for a day of education through the inaugural SVlearn Officials Conference.
Throughout the day, there was a series of insightful presentations headed by members of the Referees Commission. These workshops focused on areas of information integral to officials ahead of the 25/26 indoor season kicking off:
Making the Tough Call – Conflict Resolution & Discipline: Mari Helen Sideri
Rules of Scottish Volleyball Competitions & Scoresheets: Rowan Johnston
FIVB Rules Update for 2025 & Beyond: Dave Cormie
Referee Behaviours – Pre, During & Post Match; Dominik Sirant
Conference attendees actively engaged in discussions surrounding areas such as game integrity and on-court communications while using the open platform as an opportunity to share their own experiences from officiating within Scotland.
Full presentations and videos can be found on the Officials page of the Scottish Volleyball website.
