Re:       2003 Rules Interpretation Meetings

You are requested to attend one of the volleyball rule interpretation meetings listed below.  As the individuals and associations who are responsible for the training of high school volleyball officials, you know the importance of statewide consistency in the interpretation and application of the rules.  These meetings are crucial to that endeavor, as well as to your work in instructing the officials who are members of your local associations.

Attendance at one of these meetings is mandatory for your association.  The State CIF, supported by the ten sections, requires that the instructional chair, or designee, of each association attend this informational meeting.  Fulfillment of this requirement is one condition of maintaining your association’s accreditation. Associations that fail to attend one of the meetings, their membership will not be eligible for post-season playoff assignments at the section and state level.  If your association is a “multi-sport” organization, please be sure that your volleyball instructional chair, or designee, attends.

Diana Cranor, the State CIF Rules Interpreter, will lead these meetings and present information received at the National Federation Rules Interpreters Clinic held in Indianapolis during the last week of July, including discussion of new rules and points of emphasis.  The continuing role of officials and the State CIF sportsmanship program, “Pursuing Victory with Honor” will also be a topic of discussion so that officials are equipped to advance and enforce this very important statewide priority for all sports.

If you are unable to attend, or are no longer involved in the instructional work of your local association, please pass this letter on to those who have instructional responsibility in your area.
