When writing the score it is the score at the time the card is given – the team score receiving the card is placed first, then the other teams score
No Penalty point assessed with a yellow card
Penalty Red Card = P Coach or #Player (score)
Loss of rally/point awarded to opponent
Disqualification = Yellow & Red Card held apart = DQ Coach or #Player (score)
Loss of rally/point assessed with a yellow card
Unnecessary Delay Yellow Card across wrist = YUD Coach or #Player (score)

LAST YEAR CERTIFICATION CLINIC
TALK TO YOURSELF CONSTANTLY

9. TRACKING ROTATION Certification Booklet pages 8-9
PowerPoint on Arbiter to assist you

10. TRACKING ROTATION Watch warm-ups Setter front row or back row
Identify the setter(s)
Start simple, setter and opposite
Setter front row or back row
Keep repeating it to yourself
Listen to players
Look to see where they go after playing the ball

11. TRACKING ROTATION QUESTIONS
Memorize four positions in order, starting with the setter
Memorize opposites; setter & opposite and the two middles
Whatever works for you
Yes, we all loose track of players with or without a card
QUESTIONS

12. THEN MAKE THE CORRECT CALL
TRACKING ROTATION
If you missed a foot fault on the serve and awarded the point to the serving team, then you notice line judge calling foot fault, would you then change your mind and reward the point to the receiving team?
If you missed an illegal attack or block then recognized the player going to his/her back row position -
THEN MAKE THE CORRECT CALL

13. DOUBLES ILLEGAL HIT VERBIAGE WHEN COMMUNICATING
BALL HANDLING
DOUBLES
ILLEGAL HIT
VERBIAGE WHEN COMMUNICATING

14. HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS ON BALL HANDLING
HOW TO VIEW IT
RETHINKING WHAT WE CALL

15. DOUBLES “SPIN DOES NOT DETERMINE A DOUBLE”
A Serve spins, passes spin and attacks spin
QUIT WATCHING THE BALL (this alone will help improve your calls and consistency)
When the ball goes up, “what’s it going to do wrong”
Look ahead for the next contact
Focus on the hands, see the hands contact the ball
Don’t watch the ball contact the hands
See the ball come into the hands

16. DOUBLES A back-set that rotates or spins backwards
Coaches want double every time
Not necessarily a double
Setter contact may have been to far under the ball causing the rotation
First ball DOUBLE CONTACT is legal
2 separate attempts to play ball on first contact
“IS A DOUBLE”

17. DOUBLES Third contact DOUBLES Establish your line and BE CONSISTANT
We tend to relax and miss the double on third contact
Establish your line and BE CONSISTANT
Don’t set a line so tight you can’t maintain consistency

18. DOUBLES When responding to captain (R1) or coach (R2)
Use correct verbiage
Short answers then move on
Fans come to watch the match not you making calls
Experience! Experience! Experience!

19. RETHINKING ILLEGAL HITS
Verbiage “Prolonged Contact”
Blocked ball that rebounds into net, then the same player plays the ball up
“IT’S NOT NECESSARILY AN ILLEGAL HIT”

20. RETHINKING ILLEGAL HITS
Ball played low and/or in front of chest
What’s the difference whether the ball is played high (short and quick above head) or low (short and quick below chest-line)
LEGAL? ILLEGAL?
Playing ball with an open hand
Attacked balls are played with open hand
Why not popping the ball up

21. RETHINKING ILLEGAL HITS
Balls trapped against the net
“Illegal hit”

22. There are those plays that we have seen
BALL HANDLING
We have all had that moment
Where we see the double and the whistle doesn’t blow
Where the whistle blows and we say “why did I do that”
LAST - There is no call for
“UGLY”
There are those plays that we have seen

23. ALL BALL HANDLING DECISIONS
R2’s may assist the R1
With discrete signals on ball handling
ALL BALL HANDLING DECISIONS
ARE MADE AND CALLED BY
THE “R1”

24. BALL HANDLING
Debriefing after a match is a great opportunity to discuss ball handling. No one calls a perfect match. There is always at least one play that can be discussed and it is a great opportunity to educate less experienced officials.

25. HAVE A GREAT SEASON
