Only because I just started posting here. . .

Scrapper, let me add my welcome to Felix' and refnrev's. There are some really good people on this board and they are excellent teachers/instructors/sources of information.

Occasionally we will get into a disagreement, but most of the time, we will hash it out until we achieve consensus or one of us presents a specific rules interpretation from one of the National interpretors.

Most important is to be a sponge and soak up all the knowledge that you can - especially concerning the rules of the game and proper mechanics. With that, find someone whom you respect to act as a mentor for you - someone whom you can go to and not be afraid to ask "dumb" questions. Just remember, the only truly dumb question is the one you don't know the answer to that you fail to ask.

Hey Scrappy!

Welcome to the world of volleyball! Go into it with an open mind and ready to learn & I think you'll have a great time.

As refnrev said, there are several of us you may be familiar with from the basketball forum that also officiate volleyball. There are a bunch of great people in this sport, Jan & Felix among them - I have learned lots from both.

Another volleyball forum you might want to check out that tends to be more active than this one is the NFHS forum - here's the url:

Again, welcome!
