Thanks to the support of the Canadian Red Cross, we are happy to announce that we will officially launch the Referee Engagement Centre on October 26! 

The OVA Referee Engagement Centre is an information hub and community forum for referees with important resources.

As part of this launch, the OVA will be offering 4 return to play webinars for our referees over the next 6 weeks!  Pre-registration is required, please click on the links below for more information. 

• October 19 – 7:00PM - Referee Engagement Centre Walkthrough
• October 27 – 8:00PM  A Safe Return to Volleyball: VC and OVA Guidelines and Protocols with Dr. Kerry MacDonald
• November 12 – 8:00PM - Conflict Management In a Return to Sport Environment with Brian O'Reilly

We will also continue to post return to play videos, OVA town halls, resources and documents for when we’re all ready to return to volleyball. 

We encourage all referees to visit and explore the site regularly for new information pertinent to refereeing in the OVA and for aiding in a safe return to volleyball during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Let’s return stronger, together!
