If anyone EVER tells you that volleyball is an easy sport to officiate, RUN - do not walk to get away from them for they have no idea what they are talking about. As my good friend Felix Madera says, "Volleyball is an easy sport to officiate unless you want to do it well!" If you want to do it well, you are going to work your tail off learning about the game. However, with that being said, DON'T try to eat the elephant in one bite...make it small manageable ones.
