Volleyball Officials Bismarck Public Schools is in need of volleyball officials, particularly at the middle school level for the Fall 2017 season. Middle school volleyball games pay $23/match. If you are interested, please contact the BPS activities office at 323-4080. It is a good chance that games will only have one official, so our athletes will be asked to line judge our Simle games.
