It's not a very comfortable feeling having to replay the rally because of an inadvertent whistle. So now, the R1 is prepared to call a possible illegal back row attack. Or, if the setter was currently front row and has now rotated to the back row, the R2 can now signal to the R1 that the setter is now back row. By signaling the R1, the R1 is prepared and alert for a possible legal attack by the setter. For example, the R2 might signal the R1 the setter is front row. Before each volley, the R1 may like for the R2 to discreetly indicate where on the court each team's setters are.For this reason, how the R1 and R2 help one another should be discussed before the start of the match. Every R1 and R2 have their own unique strengths and weaknesses. How the R2 is going to help out the R1 during play is up to the R1.

The R1 may desire help for judging when to call ball handling or judgment on legal/illegal back row attacks or blocks. Discreetly signal 4 hits, double contacts, back row blocks or back row attacks.It's the R2's job to watch the team receiving the serve and call out rotation faults that occur. This isn't really that advanced, it's just very unlikely that someone that is new to refereeing will have the knowledge or experience required to spot players out of alignment. Watch for overlaps on the receiving team.R2 should also watch for the players stepping into adjacent courts or running off into non-playable areas and then making a play on the ball.Ĭheck out my whistle reviews and favorite whistles for officiating volleyball here. Also, if the R1 doesn't whistle, the R2 should whistle and signal out if the ball crosses the net above or outside the antennae, or the ball hits the antennae, or any object outside the antennae (netting outside the antennae, referee pole, cables, etc).

Blow the whistle and signal nets, centerline violations, or the ball hitting the antennae.

Anytime the R1 whistles (except for the service beckon and for serves into the net) the R2 should mimic the R1's signals. After the R2 calls a team out of rotation, good preventive officiating would be to make sure the team understands which two players were overlapped and then the R2 lines them up correctly.
