first year volleyball official

[MCBear]

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.

Maybe when someone said Volleyball was easy to pick up they meant physically? In that respect, it is far easier than learning the positioning and needing the hustle of softball, baseball, football, etc.

As far as the rules and as the guys say, to be good and respected by the coaches out there, it takes time to get the rules down, feel for the game and to be confident.

Speaking of rules, I just got back into Volleyball this year after a 4 year layoff. I felt like the rulebook was all new again. So many small details.

Cool thing about Volleyball.......no rain outs! Have a great season y'all. I'm sure to have questions for discussion and it is great there is some communication I am seeing now on this board seeing as softball is practically over.
