A Message from North Country Region Officials division...

  • Because of an increase in USAV membership dues by the National Office, there will be a change in the breakdown of NCR Membership Fees:

Certified Regional / Junior National / National Officials or National Scorekeepers will be $46.

Certified Basic / Provisional Officials will be $35.

If you upgrade/renew to another status, you will be asked for that current membership payment to be completed in full.

A $5 Attendance Fee will be required when registering for the Advanced Officials Clinic.

  • A reminder that the rule books are the same for this year now that we've switched to an every other year format. There may be rule changes & editorial changes that happen during the off year, but they should be minimal and will be covered during the Advanced Clinic.

For questions please contact Cara Lang: or 952-831-9150/800-657-6967 ext.5
