RISE: Elevating the Standards of USA Volleyball Officials

The world of volleyball officiating is evolving, and so is the evaluation process. In 2019, the USA Volleyball Officials Development Department introduced a new program called RISE during the Girls 18s Junior National Championships. This program, spearheaded by a team of experienced coaches and mentors from across the nation, aims to provide courtside mentoring-style feedback to elevate the quality of officiating.

The RISE Evaluation Form

To ensure consistency and improvement in officiating techniques and procedures, a new evaluation form called RISE was created. This form, which will be posted on VRT for the upcoming 2020 season, is divided into four sections, each representing a letter in the RISE acronym.

• Reflect: This section encourages officials to reflect on events or situations from the match where philosophical and preferred techniques can be considered during the debrief. The insights gained here can be applied in future matches to enhance overall performance.

  Set Goals: Officiating is a continuous learning process, and setting goals is crucial for growth. This section helps officials identify their strengths and opportunities for improvement, allowing them to progress in their officiating journey.

• Evaluate: The final section employs a five-point rating scale, ranging from Insufficient to Outstanding. As national-level officials, the expected standard for all evaluated categories here is “Good.” The scale may move to either side depending on an official’s performance in a particular match.

The RISE Team’s Mission

The RISE team is dedicated to supporting national-level officials in their quest to be the best they can be. By providing constructive feedback and offering suggestions for improvement, they strive to enhance the overall performance of officials.

Moving away from the old method of assigning a “Strength Rating” to officials, the Officials Development Department now focuses on the individual’s unique experiences and skills. They aim to place officials in situations where they can succeed and excel in various championships.
