Good place to start...
newladyref, if you have never played volleyball, then junior high is a good place to start. Both you and the players are in a similar situation, in that you are both learning the fundamentals of the sport and learning about the rules as you go.
As you begin, you will want to read the rules book and then find out what modifications your state association, region or league may be making for junior high matches. In addition, if you can watch some matches when you are not refereeing, you will begin to pick up things that way. Also, talk with any volleyball officials in your area who are well respected and knowledgeable about the art of officiating.
Good luck.
