Volleyball Referee Training 

instead of watching the game, watch the officials mechanics and mirror them at home to see if you're doing the same thing

It appears you are absolutely correct. What I would recommend in that case is for the R2 to request permission to speak with the R1 to get the call right. That is, of course, if the R2 had the net violation. Just to back up a bit further, the R1 should hold their whistle in that case and give the R2 a chance to whistle that fault.

I do enjoy reviewing your training videos Wade. Tough to see this net violation on replay, let alone real time. I was watching the black's team reaction to R1's call in disbelief and after watching several times, I saw why they did. Tough call; even with 2 refs.

Yes. The white team touched in the net

Not correct. When this video was posted the net fault rule only included touching the top white band on the net or if it interferes with play. Since then the rule has been modified to “any net contact between the antennae in the action of playing the ball”. Well done the refs for letting that one go.

@@skippy2879 The USAV rule on net faults was, indeed, to consider only the top tape at the time the video was made. In this case the match is being played under NCAA rules which has always considered the full net while in the act of playing the ball.

+Lizzy Wong Because it was double touch :-)

Yeah no kidding!

I'm having the same problem lol.

Must be bad video because both hands contact the ball in the exact same frame. Are you telling me the ref can see a difference of less than 33ms?

Yes. We can. That was an obvious double.

Sophie, this was an advanced PAVO camp where referees pay to work at a spring tournament at Villanova 5 years ago. DI College teams playing... The voice-over is a Camp clinician offering feedback to the referees that they will reference later during the debrief. The use of this video for some is to simply watch the mechanics of the referees and how they work together. It is not necessarily intended to "teach" someone how to be a volleyball referee. It's not quite 3Doodler'ing but it's still an art to officiate at this level.

and there are other videos but this was a great refresher for me. first you need to understand the signals and what to look for. then as the game progresses put yourself in r1 or r2 position make the calls and see if its aligned with officials on screen. I know you're probably a beast with the mechanics now but I'm leaving comments for people seeing this for the first time.

it helped me, their mechanics were good. It's purpose is to watch a live match and look at the mechanics. All the calls (in, out, net, 2 hits, 4 hits, time out, tipped ball, substitutions). Thank you for sharing @ru-vid.com!
