Assigning referees for volleyball matches comes with its own unique set of demands—multiple courts, tight tournament turnarounds, last-minute changes, and varying skill levels across officials. To keep up, assignors need more than a simple calendar tool—they need a platform built to handle the complexity, pace, and volume of today’s volleyball environments.

That’s where Refr Sports stands out.

A Scheduling Platform Designed for the Way Volleyball Runs

Volleyball events move quickly. Whether you're assigning for league play, weekend tournaments, or full-day club competitions, keeping track of matches, courts, and crews is a constant balancing act. Refr Sports offers the most reliable and efficient way to assign and manage officials, with time-saving features specifically built to adapt to fast-moving schedules and high-volume environments.

From importing game blocks via spreadsheet to assigning on mobile, Refr gives you full control—no matter the event size or format.

Assign Matches Your Way

No two assignors operate the same, and Refr Sports is designed with that flexibility in mind. Prefer manual control over every match? You’ve got it. Want to use self-assign tools based on availability and experience level? That’s built in, too.

Refr’s intelligent assigning tools allow you to fill matches faster and with confidence—leveraging filters like availability, distance, and official experience level so every slot gets the right fit.

Real-Time Mobile Access for You and Your Crew

Refr’s full-featured mobile app on iOS and Android means you’re never tied to a desk. You can assign, update, and communicate directly from your phone—even as events unfold.

Officials also benefit, receiving real-time updates, match details, and notifications wherever they are. It’s a seamless experience that minimizes confusion and boosts accountability from the moment assignments go out to the final whistle.

Simplified Payments Without the Follow-Up

Volleyball schedules can be dense, and chasing down payments should never be part of your job. With Refr Sports, it isn’t. The platform takes care of it by fronting payments to assignors and officials every week, while handling all invoicing to schools, clubs, and organizations on your behalf.

Organizations can pay automatically or manually, and Refr keeps everything tracked and up to date behind the scenes. You just assign and get paid—on time, every time.

Streamlined Communication When It Matters Most

When matches change or availability shifts, you need fast, clear communication. Refr removes the headache of juggling texts, emails, and phone calls by centralizing it all on-platform.

Notices go directly to officials through in-app messaging and push notifications, reducing confusion and cutting down response time when it matters most—especially during high-volume tournament weekends.

Data-Driven Assigning With Zero Guesswork

Refr Sports equips you with intelligent insights based on availability, location, and skill level so you’re never left scrambling. Whether you’re backfilling a last-minute drop or planning weeks ahead, Refr gives you the tools to move quickly—and with confidence.

You assign based on data, not guesswork. That’s a major edge in any high-volume setting.

No Outages, No Delays, No Waiting

Speed matters. Refr’s platform is engineered for zero wait times. There are no slow load issues, no customer support delays, and no crashes mid-assigning. When you're managing multiple matches across multiple courts, that kind of performance isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.

The Volleyball Assigning Platform Built for 2025

As volleyball continues to grow across school, club, and travel circuits, assignors are being asked to do more than ever. Refr Sports is built to meet that challenge—with a comprehensive suite of scheduling, payment, communication, and assigning tools that allow you to work efficiently and stay in control.

Assign confidently. Pay seamlessly. Communicate clearly.

With Refr Sports, you’re not just keeping up—you’re staying ahead.
