Here are some important reminders to keep in mind while working:
- Jewelry- the key word here is snug fitting. If you can see space, have them take them off. (Including during warmup).
- Headphones- Ear buds are NOT allowed during warmups or while JV or V are shagging.
- Shoes- slippers are NOT permitted on the court. Sneakers are needed. (If we would not allow it during the game, then it is not allowed during warm-ups or shagging)
- Limit your conversation with coaches before, during and after matches. At the end of a match, you should debrief with your other official if there is something you were not sure about or wanted to discuss. You should not be having a conversation with either coach about any calls that you made.
- If you have a situation where students or adults are making comments towards specific players or directing comments towards the officials, you should get the site supervisor to address it.
- Referee signal sequence for net faults: If a net fault is whistled by the second referee, the first referee (if in agreement) indicates which team wins the point, then indicates the number of the player at fault (they do not signal net fault, Hand signal 19a.)
- Injury/illness during the set • If the injured player cannot continue playing within 30 seconds, the player must be replaced by a legal substitute or a legal libero replacement, or the team must take a legal timeout if the player is to continue playing. More information on Injury timeouts is listed under “Rules & Interpretations“
