Questions for HOA Coaches

This survey is intended to gather information on volleyball officiating in the Heart of America Region.  The existing policy is for adults to R1 (up ref) on teams 14 years old and younger with players allowed to R1 on teams 15 years old and older.  The HOA Board of Directors is considering revising this policy and answers to these questions will assist with the direction of the change, if any.

Answer the following questions based on your experience for the 2016-2017 club volleyball season and any previous history you may personally have.  Also, consider that there are 11,894 juniors registered with HOA.  Of those, 6,733 (54%) are registered in the 14 and under age divisions and 5,161 (46%) are registered in 15 and up age divisions.

Note: Surveys seeking player input will be sent to parents and parents should be directed to discuss the questions with their athlete and get their input when appropriate.
