Region seeks Club Coach, Director of the Year

Art of Coaching clinic welcomes 300 to Marquette

WIAA releases new website; brackets for boys and girls tourney

Thousands of Badger Region members also participate on with their high school boys and girls volleyball teams from August through No-vember. That being said, the Region is working with the WIAA to make sure changes to the high school volleyball scene are well known among the volleyball community.

Here is this week’s update from the WIAA:* The WIAA launched a new website this

week. Have feedback on accessibility or “us-er-friendliness? Contact the WIAA office.

* Boys and girls tournament brackets have been posted and can be found on the boys and girls volleyball pages under “Tournaments.”

* Girls volleyball schools (Div. 2-3-4) have until May 1 to vote if they prefer remain in the larger, sectional group, or to split into two smaller regional groupings.

* All eight boys sectional final matches will be hosted as a “doubleheader” with the boys match at 4:30 p.m. and the girls match to follow at 7 p.m. Seven of the eight boys sectionals will be hosted at schools that do not currently offer boys volleyball as a sanc-tioned sport. It is the hopes of the WIAA that exposing these schools to the sport of boys volleyball will encourage them to add the sport in the near future.

An elite cadre of coaches came to Milwaukee April 6-7 for the first-ever Art of Coach-ing clinic at Marquette Uni-versity. For more photos and a re-cap of the event, see Page 3.

By Jim ArtsBadger Region Ref Chair

Well, all three weekends of Badger Region Championships are complete. I want to thank all the officials that helped out for any or all of the championships. We couldn’t have successful championships without you!

A special shoutout goes to our assign-er, Larry Schoenick, who magnificently maneuvered through three weekends of scheduling with last-minute adjusting as usual. I’m sure Larry could also complete a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle in about five minutes — he’s that good! Also I would like to recognize two more officials who received their Provisional Certification during the Badger Region Championships:, welcome Gina and Sara Bedessem. Con-gratulations!

Screening explained

In the normal course of a match, there are many common referee signals that most everyone is aware with. I want to discuss some signals that some people are unaware of or don’t get used as common as others.

The first is Blocking Fault or Screening. This is when the referee will raise both arms vertically with their palms facing forward. (See Page 102 of the DCR if you have a copy.) I will first touch on the blocking portion of this. A blocker is any team member that is close to the net and has ANY body part above the height of the net to intercept the ball coming from the opponent. This can be hands/arms and/

or a head in normal situations. When the referee blows his or her whistle and shows this signal, it means that a blocking fault has occurred.

Common blocking faults: a back row player or a Libero completes a block or participates in a completed block, the blocker touches the ball in the opponent’s space either before or simultaneously with the opponents attack hit, and blocking the opponent’s service. There are a few other instances, but they are even rarer still.

The other application for this referee’s

signal is that an illegal screen has occurred. This is a rare during the course of a normal match. According to the DCR (rule book), an illegal screen occurs when a player or group of players of the serving team make(s) a screen by waving arms, jumping or moving sideways during the serve to hide the server and the flight path of the ball from the opponent. Factors that the referee must consider when a potential screen occurs are: position of the players on the serving team, path of the serve, speed of the serve and trajectory (arc) of the serve. Again, screening faults are rare, but the referee must be alert for this.

TAG U R ITLastly, just a reminder that our TAG U

R IT program is off and running. We’ve had some good feedback from this from potential Jr referee candidates and the play-ers appreciate being recognized for good official skills and the bag tag as well.

Recipients of these tags can go on the Badger Region website (www.badgervolley-ball.org) and click on the TAG U R IT icon for more information in becoming a refer-ee. WE NEED OFFICIALS! And as always, remember good sportsmanship, our sport needs this desperately! Please take it easy on our junior work crews, they are trying their best to do a good job!

CELEBRATING 25 YEARSPAGE 8 — BADGER BEACON

Badger Region to debut Fall Youth Volleyball LeagueDebuting in the Fall of 2019,

the Badger Region Youth Fall Volleyball League is designed to offer competition and develop-ment for athletes new to volley-ball at the middle school level.

The program operated by the Badger Region Volleyball Asso-ciation is a high school feeder program and relies heavily on the organization of high school and middle school coaches who make up the league.

The league differs from club in that it depends on the lead-ership of the school contacts to make this happen. While schools can elect to make cuts

and pick their teams as they choose, many schools do not make cuts.

Young players benefit by having fun learning funda-

mental skills while playing in a structured competitive environ-ment that helps to promote the high school programs that are involved. The BRYFVL offers divisions for both boys and girls in grades 5 through 8.

Coaching infoAll coaches must have current

USAV/Badger Region member-ship.

In addition to the member-ship, coaches need a current background screen. When registering for the Badger Region Adult Membership, user should

select the role as coach and add a background screen for $18. Background screen requests must be submitted by Aug. 9.

Coaches must have current background screen before they can be on the court with youth athletes.

Safesport certification is man-datory for all coaches. Users must have your USAV membership in order to register for SafeSport. Any coaches that need Safe Sport training, click here to register.

Seniors have two days to apply for scholarshipThe Badger Region will again be offering graduating seniors the

opportunity to apply for scholarships available to both boys and girls.This year, the Region will select five boys and five girls who meet

the criteria for $500 scholarships that will be paid directly to the student’s college of choice once they are enrolled.

In addition, two athletes, one boy and one girl will also be considered for the Frisco Mo “Do Good” schol-arship, if they meet the additional criteria required for these $500 scholarships.

Lisa Deppe, the founder and owner of Frisco Mo, said her com-pany is all “about rewarding athletes who do good in their community over the past school year.”

To apply for any of the scholar-ships, athletes should go to www.badgervolleyball.org and click on “Program & Education” and then on “Badger Region Scholarship.” There they can be taken to the application which is broken in two parts.

The first is required by all applicants. The last section is for athletes who want to be considered for the “Do Good” scholarship, which requires some sort of community service activity. The other Badger Region scholarships do not require community service as part of the criteria.

Athletes must meet the following criteria for both scholarships:* Graduating high school senior in the year of application (students

who graduate in winter will be eligible alongside students who gradu-ate in the spring or summer)

* No code of conduct violations* Student athlete is member of the Badger Region and is in good

standing with the Badger Region Volleyball Association and his or her club

* Submit a completed application form* Submit an acceptance

letter from a college, univer-sity or other post-secondary academic institution. (To receive payment, proof of registration and enrollment in a post-secondary school will be required)

* Submit a letter of recom-mendation from club director or 18s club coach

“Last year, we have 20 boys and 45 girls apply for

the scholarships,” said program director Brian Sharkey. “It was great to learn about so many amazing student athletes who make up the graduating class each year in the Badger Region.”

The deadline to apply is April 12, 2019. Winners will be announced in May.

CELEBRATING 25 YEARSPAGE 14 — BADGER BEACON

12-and-under step-in rule an option at Region tournaments

The Badger Region is reminding coaches, directors and fans that tournament directors can decide if they want to use a rule modifica-tion at the 12-under-age level for the 2018-19 season.

For 12-and-under age groups (but not the 12 Open Divi-sion), servers can start in front of the endline and serve from ap-proximately six feet in front of the endline.

Court markings to indicate the step-in serve line are suggested but are not required due to some facilities not allowing tape on the floor.

There will be a maximum of two step-in serve points per term of service. After two step-in points have been scored in a term

of service, all subsequent serves for that term of serves must be from behind the endline.

When the team has scored its 20th point in a non-deciding sett, no more step-in serves will

be allowed for the remainder of that set. For deciding sets, no step-in serves will be allowed after a team has scored its 12th point.

This is a Badger Region-only rule

modification and is not in effect for USAV Qualifier or the USAV National Tournament.

Have questions? Email Badger Region Tournament Director Kelly Lehman at kelly@badger-volleyball.org.

BOY’S ALL SKILLS VOLLEYBALL CAMP

In an effort to promote continuing education for region coaches the Badger Region has partnered with the Art of

Coaching Volleyball to offer a “Badger Region Coaches Certification”.

The certification is FREE to Badger Region coaches

and will be the primary vehicle for re-certification to be eligible to coach in our region.

The approximately two-hour certification process consists of videos on coaching philosophy and other “big picture” ideas and concludes with a brief quiz of the information covered. Upon completion a certificate is also provided for download.

Beginning in the 2018-2019 season, Badger Region Coaches will need to complete two hours of Badger Region

approved Coaching Continu-ing Education during the cur-rent quad (four-year Olympic cycle) to be eligible to coach in the following quad.

The certification mentioned above is one way to accomplish that. New coaches will still be required to complete the IM-PACT program while experi-enced coaches may also choose from attending IMPACT or an in-person clinic offered by AVCA, WVCA, and the Bad-ger Region.

CELEBRATING 25 YEARSPAGE 15 — BADGER BEACON

Looking for a last-minute gift? How about some of the best volleyball in the world?

International volleyball returns to Hoff-man Estates, Ill., in 2019 as the Sears Cen-tre Arena will host the world No. 2-ranked U.S. Men along with Canada, China and Japan on June 21-23 for FIVB Volleyball Nations League (VNL).

All-session tickets are on sale now at Sear-sCentre.com. Single-session tickets and group tickets will go on sale soon.

The VNL consists of 16 top men’s volleyball teams playing a round-robin format with each country hosting a weekend of matches over six weeks. Six teams will advance to the final round, which will be in the United States on July 10-14 at a site to be determined.

As host, the United States will qualify auto-matically for the final six.

The U.S. Men won the bronze medal at the 2018 VNL Final Round in France. The team went on to win the bronze medal at the 2018 FIVB World Championship in Italy.

A focus for the U.S. Men in 2019 will be evaluating players as the team prepares to qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

“I expect this season to be really competi-tive as our players look forward to 2020,” U.S. Head Coach John Speraw said.

“We always look forward to competing in the United States and the crowds at the Sears Centre make for a great atmosphere.”

Among the U.S. players expected to com-pete are 2018 Olympic medalists Matt An-derson, Micah Christenson, Max Holt, Aaron Russell, Taylor Sander, David Smith, and Erik and Kawika Shoji.

CELEBRATING 25 YEARSPAGE 16 — BADGER BEACON

Fans can show sportsmanship, earn rewardsThis year, the Badger Region

will have lots of signage remind-ing parents and spectators that the athletes, coaches and officials are doing their best and that this is only a game.

No need for screaming at line judges. No time for criticizing players for a fault. No hollering at coaches during the middle of a tournament. There is a time and a place for that. But that time/place is not in a gym when a tourna-ment is being played.

That’s why the Badger Region is continuing to stress the mes-sage of sportsmanship through its Enthusiastic. Supportive. Positive. (ESP) program.

As part of this endeavor, which is being picked up by other Regions and sports organizations, parents and spectators are rewarded for cheering for both teams, celebrat-ing a good volleyball play regard-less of which team you side with, or going above and beyond your role

as a person in the stands.Over the last three years, we

have handed out dozens — if not hundreds — of colorful wristbands

to great ESP spectators, and we’re looking to the do the same this year. Our staff and tournament directors from throughout the state will be armed with wristbands that they will hand out at events to those individuals who model what ESP is all about.

Turning in an item to lost and found, helping clean up a spill that wasn’t your own, cheering loudly for a great rally – those are all examples of things we’ve given out wristbands for.

Then, when you come to the

Championship Desk at the Badger Region Championships in March with your wristband, you can redeem it for great Badger Region swag. We’ll even let you keep the wristband as long as you pay it forward to someone you think is being a good example for the ESP program.

All for being a good model of sportsmanship.

For more, contact Brian Shar-key at brian@badgervolleyball.org or call 262-349-9785.

CELEBRATING 25 YEARSPAGE 17 — BADGER BEACON

How is the Badger Region Board structured?The Badger Region Volleyball Association

is governed by a Board of Directors that must be elected by members on a regular basis. Area reps serve three-year terms, while members of the executive board serve four-year terms.

Members, whether they are players, coaches, parents, directors, athletic trainers or officials, are encouraged to communicate with their respective representative if they

think policies or financial decision in the Region need to be changed.

Some policies enforced by Badger Region come from USA Volleyball, our sport’s national governing body, so those can’t be changed. But many others can.

The Board is advised by a 11 chairpersons (or experts) in various parts of the game, and five staff members (some of which have multiple responsibilities).

The state is divided into five parts geo-graphically for representation. Plus, there are two at-large board members who you can approach if you don’t feel comfortable with your current rep. And there is a rep dedi-cated just to issues that surround our Junior volleyball clubs and athletes.

You’ll be hearing from each Board mem-ber twice a year in the form of a column in the Badger Beacon. Now, let’s meet them:
