The Referees Commission of the Azerbaijan Volleyball Federation (AVF), taking into account the increase in the number of teams participating in the Higher League and the Azerbaijan Championship, organized a three-stage seminar to expand the refereeing staff. According to the information provided by the AVF, the first stage of the seminar was held at the sports base of the "Murov Az Terminal" volleyball club.
The event was opened by the chairman of the AVF Referees Commission, international category referee Eldar Zulfugarov, and the deputy chairman, international category referee Zaur Hajiyev, who greeted the participants and wished them success.
In the first part of the three-stage program, participants were given theoretical and practical lessons, and then they took a test exam.
During the training, detailed information was provided about the innovations made to the volleyball rules, and the participants' questions were answered.
It should be noted that the Azerbaijan Volleyball Federation organizes such trainings every year to train new referees and improve the professional level of existing personnel. In the next stages, participants will receive a refereeing degree based on the results they obtain and will be assigned to competitions.
