It is a requirement of entry to the National Secondary Schools’ Volleyball Championships for each team to provide a VNZ qualified Regional (or above) Referee.
The nominated referee/s must be identified on the Team List (on line registration) with their level of accreditation. This will be confirmed by the VNZ Referee Development Manager.
