Archive - August 2007 How smart is your right foot ?? !!!! LOLPosted Aug-27-07 18:51:55 PDT Subject: HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT Tri Cities Volleyball Officials Association -- Weekly TipsPosted Aug-18-07 20:06:44 PDT Hello fellow Tri Cities Volleyball Officials !! The 2007 Volleyball Season is upon us ! Woo Hoo !! This is the first weekly tip sheet. I hope that you will find them useful in developing as a wonderful volleyball official. I
truly believe that we all become better with each and every match that
we call. I strive to learn something from every partner and every
match. Tip # 1 -- Always maintain proper posture on the stand, don't lean, slouch or prop. Stand tall and confident, yet be relaxed ! lol, I know easier said than done ! It does work though, if you stay relaxed and appear relaxed the coaches, player's and fans will be more comfortable and confident with your ability and calls. Tip # 2 -- When to leave
the stand at the end of the match. The Referee (R1) should remain on
the stand until the end of game protocol has been completed by both
teams (handshakes are finished). Yes, that means we should stay on the
stand while the teams shake hands and then exit with our partner. Tip
# 3 -- Blow your whistle with confidence and blow it loudly ( so that
everyone in the gym can hear). Today at a Tournament, a player's
Mother (the team was from South Carolina) approached me and said "I
want to Thank You" ... she continued to say "Thank you for blowing your
whistle loud. You blow it loud enough for us to hear it" ... she
commented that it must be hard to blow it loud because they have many
matches where the official's whistle is rarely heard by the fans. She
continued that she really appreciated it. So ... blow your whistles
out there this week ... inquiring ears want to hear !! Please send me any comments or suggestions. Thanks for taking a moment to read and I hope everyone has a wonderful opening week of the Volleyball season.
