Using Students as Line Judges

[varefump]

In Virginia, they have this stupid policy that students (high school and below) cannot serve as line judges in regular season scholastic matches.

I'm trying to get the policy changed and would like to know if there are any other states with a similar policy.

Right now, we're calling 99.5% of our matches without line judges at all because Virginia has received a waiver from the NFHS to make LJs optional.

It's really tough calling high-level boys' volleyball with only two officials on the court.

Please LMK if your state either doesn't use kids as LJs or has LJs optional.

Thanks.
