Volleyball Winnipeg utilizes referees for its youth league, adult league (tournament only) and club volleyball tournaments. The organization offers a competitive remuneration formula and does not require formal certification.

There is a mentoring program for referees in which a new referee is assigned to an experienced referee for two matches. While the new referee is on the stand the mentoring referee assists as the “down ref.” After an initial probation period a referee who does not meet the league’s minimum requirements will not be invited back.
