Good advice from Dave....primary focus should be on the ball most of the time and be aware of when you may have to stay at the net a touch longer to pick up a net and/or centerline violation.

Another piece of advice that I would provide is to see if the referee's stand can be moved to the same side of the court as the team benches. Being on that side while working solo allows you to more quickly administer subs and speak with your scorekeeper and/or timer more easily.

Working alone at the JV/V level is no picnic if the level of play is decent. Do the best you can to try to widen your field of view and catch as much of the action on the court as possible.

I don't work any of the USVA stuff, so I can't help you there, but I know there are several regulars on the board who are active in that group and will answer your question.
