First HS Game Ever

[IHSAref]

Everything went well. I am still a little hesitent to call lifts and people in the net. Any advise on what i can look for to help me decide? Thanks!

IHSAref, you might want to talk with respected officials in your area and take the opportunity to watch what others are calling.

Regarding nets, there is no reason to be hesitant about calling them. In middle school and high school volleyball, any contact with the net during a live ball is a fault, so when you see it, blow the whistle and make the call.

Each match, take what you learned during it and build from there.

Good luck as your season progresses. Keep us up to date on how things go for you.

Just make sure that you have the player in the net and not the player in a legal position and the ball pushing the net into the player. That will take a little time to distinguish and some help from seasoned veterans.
