referees’ gab reset

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.
