Second Referee, 2009-10
Second Referee Accreditation
This is a brief tutorial about the key
elements of being a second referee (R2)
It is intended for players serving as an R2
during tournament play
This is not a certification as a referee,
although it can be a good start towards
becoming a USAV certified referee
This will meet the IREVA Region
requirements for Second Referee
Responsibilities
Assure that both teams are in correct
positions to begin set (using lineup sheets
– check receiving team first, then the
serving team)
Indicate Captain to R1 of each team
Authorize and control time outs (30
seconds) and substitutions (12 max)
Responsibilities
Whistle and signal:
Position faults on the receiving team
Contact of a player with the top of net or
antenna above the top of net
Penetration into the opponent’s court and
space under the net (Foot only – unless
interference with play)
Attack-hit or blocking faults of back-row
players
Responsibilities
Whistle and signal:
When a ball crosses the net outside the
antenna (unless playing pursuit) or touches
the antenna on his/her side of the court
When a ball contacts an outside object that
is out of play
When a foreign object enters the playing
area and presents a hindrance to play or
safety to the players
Key techniques
Positioning
Step back 3-6 feet from the pole as space allows (do
not stand behind the pole)
Pay attention on receiving team side at service
Transition to blockers' side during rally – move
immediately on contact of service, and quickly
throughout rally
At end of match, help R1 remind both coaches to
sign scoresheet (juniors only)
Key Techniques
Whistle and Signal:
Loud, clear, and long. Don’t be bashful!
Keep your whistle in your mouth when the
ball is in play; be ready to blow whistle when
you see a violation
When you see a violation, blow whistle
immediately, step to side of team at fault,
signal violation, and echo R1’s signal
Key Techniques
At the end of each rally
Step out from the standard on the side of the
team at fault
Echo R1’s signal (mirror or follow)
Signals do not need to be at the exact same time
Key Techniques
Control time outs, substitutions
Notify R1 of how many time outs are taken
by each team
Notify captain/coach when team has reached
9, 10, 11, and 12 team substitutions
Work with scorekeeper
Key Techniques
Substitution procedures – NEW THIS SEASON
When a request is made, administer subs from
regular working position
The actual request for substitution is the entrance of
the substitute player(s) into the substitution zone,
ready to play
DO NOT grant request when coach/captain signals or
verbally asks for substitute
Subs meet between center line and attack line and
hesitate long enough for R2 to note the numbers
After releasing players, repeat substitute numbers to
scorekeeper as needed
Key Techniques
Substitution procedures – NEW THIS SEASON
One substitute at a time in the “sub zone”
If the substitute has not entered into the substitution
zone and you have blown your whistle, the
substitution is not granted and the team is
sanctioned for a delay
It is a delay sanction if the substitution is withdrawn
Team may make one substitution request between
rallies (may not sub, take TO, and sub again)
Signal to R1 when ready after sub is completed
