The scheduled Philippine Volleyball Federation Referees Congress, set on February 24 to 26 at the University of St. La Salle, has been moved to February 3 to 5, a press release from the organizers said.

Roger Banzuela, president of the Negros Occidental Volleyball Association, said they decided to hold the congress to an earlier date due to a conflict in the schedule of the congress’ evaluators.

Held every two years, the activity is a requirement among volleyball referees as mandated by the FIVB, the world governing body of volleyball.

Volleyball referees from Iloilo, Capiz, Antique, Aklan, Guimaras, Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental who will attend the congress will be able to apply for accreditation, Banzuela added.

He said the participants will be evaluated and accredited by Nestor Bello and Marvin Trinidad, FIVB accredited international referees, who will join the congress along with former PVF president Pete Mendoza and currently PVF head Gener Dungo, the press release said.

Each participant is required to pay a registration fee of P2, 500 registration fee to include rule book, case book, identification and meals.
