Board Ratings Sessions

Spring/Pre-Season Approved/Sanctioned Ratings Sessions

Below are  details for our apprentice, local and state referees to:

1) UPDATE YOUR PRACTICAL RATING

2) IMPROVE YOUR CURRENT RATING

3) RECEIVE FEEDBACK, PRACTICE OUR CRAFT, AND IMPROVE OUR SKILLS AS OFFICIALS.

Every other year, non-national members MUST UPDATE your practical ratings in order to remain in good standing with your certification.  It is highly recommended that you take advantage of our FREE PAVO Spring Tourney Ratings Session to do so.   

Those of you who are pursuing lofty USAV Ratings, if you achieve your Junior National or National status within same year as your practical ratings, then your renewal date is extended for another year; however, I would still encourage you to sign up for practice/feedback in preparation for any upcoming USAV Candidate Course.

If you are new, or choosing to pursue an opportunity to advance your rating (i.e. Local to State) and/or receive feedback from veteran National officials.  Please consider these dates to attend a free and great opportunity for your professional development.

The following are confirmed dates available to you to update your PAVO practical rating. 
We will provide additional date(s) only if needed for those that absolutely cannot make these spring dates:

2026 PRACTICAL RATING DATES

Scorers and Line Judges:  Plan to have a training event in August for certification renewal.

Saturday, April 11th at Mankato State University

Saturday, April 18th at St. Cloud State University

Please contact the Director of Officials Development, with your plans to complete your practical rating or if you have any other questions. 

To help you prepare for your practical ratings, please take advantage of the free iRef training modules available to you on the PAVO website.  Modules for Level 100, 200 & 300 are available now in your My Ref Kit and should be reviewed by all eligible officials prior to the Fall season.

Thanks so very much for all you do to promote excellence in the sport we love so much.  Best of luck this coming season!
