GALESBURG — Did you know there is a shortage of Illinois High School Association volleyball referees? Carl Sandburg College’s Corporate & Leisure College is offering an IHSA volleyball referee training to teach individuals the fundamentals of volleyball and how to officiate games.
Classes will be held virtually via Zoom videoconference each Thursday from 6-7:30 p.m. July 9-Aug. 13, plus an in-person officials’ clinic on a Saturday in August. The deadline to register is June 29, and the cost is $70, which includes an instructional book for classes.
The average pay to officiate games is $30-$40 an hour. No prior volleyball knowledge is necessary, but you must be 17 years of age to register. Tony Oligney-Estill, director of parks & recreation for the City of Galesburg, will facilitate the class sessions.
