Fall adult volleyball season is just around the corner, but the City and Borough of Juneau Parks & Recreation is still looking for officials.

“We have people that move in and out of town a lot so we lose a lot of people that way,” Parks & Recreation adult sports manager Dave Pusich said.

The department strives to maintain an officiating pool of between eight and 10 people working the lower-division games.

The men’s league supports play at Divisions 1-3 and the women’s league supports play at Divisions 1-4. A total of 46 teams registered this season for the two-month long season that begins Sept. 5.

Prior volleyball experience is desired but not required. Officials are paid $15 per match.

To learn more or to sign up to become an official, contact the Parks & Recreation office at 586-5226.
