Volleyball anyone?

[Zoochy]

Volleyball is not that bad. It can be uninteresting. As Juulie stated, the up official watches the ball and blows the whistle on all calls relating to the ball. Down official watches for net violations. That is basically when he/she blows the whistle.
If you have not played the game, then when you read the rules you will be surprised. I find basketball way more interesting, but there are volleyball officials that are passionate to the sport.

I just finished the training for new volleyball officials and took my test yesterday. Haven't worked any real matches yet. It doesn't seem real interesting, compared to basketball, but I've barely started, so I can't give an honest opinion yet.

There is very little physical exertion in officiating volleyball. There is, however, just as much mental exercise as any other game out there.

The lower level (MS, FR) matches can be boring as the skills may not yet be fully developed. Some of the athleticism displayed at the Varsity HS and college levels is great. If you can make it through the lower levels as you are working your way up, VB becomes a fast-paced, exciting game to officiate at the higher levels.

I beg to differ but we're entitled to our own opinions... I think the physical exertion that an official endures during any sporting event makes the mental part of the game that much harder. Again, JMO.
