Newladyref,
I'm a thre sport ref .. basketball, soccer, and volleyball. You'll find that VB doesn't take too long to pick up the basics... but it does take some time to get good at it. Since you're already an official you have a big advantage in that you know procedures, decorum, etc. Net play at Jr. High isn't all that fast or difficult. HS gets much quicker, but the skill levels usually make that easier to officiate...at least to me. Things like overlapping, back row attack, etc. will come in time, especially if you work with "good" veteran officials. The opperative word in that sentence is "good." I love doing JH VB and think you will, too. It's a lot of fun to do and a very different atmosphere than Baskeball.
