Volleyball Rules Book
With many schools purchasing uniforms this year and using them for more than one year, all schools must be compliant with the solid colored uniform rules NEXT YEAR in 2016. Purpose of the rule: to clearly & consistently identify the libero/referees can judge legal actions by libero
This information has been published in the NFHS Volleyball Rules Books since 2012.Slide13
Who has to wear solid-color jersey in 2016?
Libero may wear solid color jersey OR
Team may wear solid color jerseys OR
Both team and libero may be in solid-color jerseys but the libero jersey MUST be in contrasting color to the teammates’ jerseys.
The official should ask the coach who is wearing solid color jersey and the referees will determine if the solid-color jersey is compliant with the rule.Rule 4.2.2 NOTE should be carefully reviewed before purchasing jerseys. Requirements and restrictions for trim, numbers, size of logos, etc. are outlined in the rule. It is coach’s responsibility to place his/her athletes in legal uniforms & should not rely on a sale representative or manufacturer to interpret the uniform rule. Questions should be directed to TSSAA. Please contact Trina Melton at
Tmelton@tssaa.org
If the libero is not compliant with the rule, the team will play with NO libero. If the team has illegal uniforms, the referee will inform both coaches prior to the match, penalize 1 point PER MATCH before Set 1, play the match and send report to Trina Melton at TSSAA with school name and specifics concerning uniforms. Report should be filed within 24 hours of contest.Slide14

Preventive officiating is a valuable tool for all officials.Slide19

Remove any player that shows signs, symptoms, or behaviors consistent with a concussion per NFHS rules
.Slide50
ConcussionOfficial’s Protocol Continued
Inform the head coach that the player is being removed for showing signs, symptoms, or behaviors consistent with a concussion.
The school shall have the player examined by their designated health care provider. If the designated health care provider determines that the student has not sustained a concussion, the head coach may so advise the officials during an appropriate stoppage of play and the athlete may re-enter competition pursuant to contest rules.Slide51
ConcussionOfficial’s Protocol Continued
The head coach is in charge of getting clearance from the school’s designated healthcare provider.
If the school does not have access to a designated health care provider, or if the school’s designated health care provider suspects that the athlete may have sustained a concussion, the only means for an athlete to return to practice or play is for the student to be evaluated and cleared by a licensed medical doctor (M.D.), Osteopathic Physician (D.O.) or a Clinical Neuropsychologist with Concussion Training. Slide52
ConcussionOfficial’s Protocol Continued
If signs, symptoms and behaviors consistent with a concussion are observed by an
