While I understand your point, I would not be in favor of this.

I ref alot of FB/JVB Ball and some V Ball.

One of the reasons I find V Ball so much easier to officiate is because they understand how, and appreciate more, playing defense from six feet. The younger defenders get right up on the offensive players and this causes alot of fouls, play stopages, and foul shooting = longer games.

By forcing defenders closer to the offensive players, I think this would make it worse, vice better.

My $.02.

Would you be saying you need to be more or less fit to do a two-man JVB game than three-man V game? Just curious.
