volleyball refereeing

Volleyball refereeing involves officiating the game by ensuring rules are followed, making calls on plays, and maintaining order. Typically, there are two main referees: the first referee, who oversees the match from a perch near the net and makes final decisions, and the second referee, positioned on the floor, assists with line calls and rule enforcement. Referees use hand signals, whistles, and observations to judge rallies, net touches, foot faults, and illegal plays. They communicate with players and team officials to manage the game smoothly, resolve disputes, and uphold fair play.
