NFHS Volleyball Rules Changes 2012-13Slide3
Rule 4-2-2 new NOTE:
Beginning
July 1, 2016
either the
libero
or his/her teammates shall wear a solid colored uniform top that is clearly in contrast from the predominant color(s) of the teammates’ uniform top. The solid color uniform top shall meet specific design requirements.
Rationale: When both the libero and his/her teammates are in multi-colored uniforms of the same color combinations, it can be very difficult to discern the libero’s legality when playing the ball. Requiring either the libero or the other team members to be in a solid colored uniform of contrasting color will assist the referees in determining legal playing actions.
Comment:
It has become increasingly difficult to discern the
libero’s
legality when playing the ball when he/she cannot be easily identified apart from the teammates due to multi-colored uniform tops. Requiring either the
libero
or the other team members to be in a solid colored uniform top of contrasting color will assist the referees in identifying the
libero
and determining legal playing actions.Slide4
Rule 5-2-2: The referee’s equipment shall include a watch
along with a whistle, coin and yellow/red cards.
Rationale:
The watch is needed as an alternate to a visual timing device in the event of a malfunction. Slide5
Rule 5-3-4d, 5-4-3b(22):
The coin toss for a deciding set shall be conducted
by the second referee in front of the officials’ table
.
Rationale:
The coin toss being conducted by the second referee at the officials’ table will be more efficient and enhance the flow of the match.
Comment: In the majority of instances, the first referee requests the second referee to conduct the coin toss prior to the deciding set. Placing the responsibility of the coin toss for the deciding set solely with the second referee in front of the officials’ table, will be more efficient and enhance the overall flow of the matchSlide6
Rule 10-3 PEN 1:
Illegal alignment is now charged when an illegal substitute is identified in the set after the whistle/signal for serve.
Rationale:
The penalty for an illegal
libero
identified in the set should be the same as an illegal substitute, loss of rally/point. This change provides consistency in penalties for illegal players in a set.
Comment: The penalty for an illegal substitute identified in the set should be the same as an illegal libero identified in the set, loss of rally/point for illegal alignment. This change in the penalty provides consistency in penalties for illegal players identified in a set.Slide7
Rule 11-2-3 new NOTE:
State associations have the authority to determine the number of electronic media timeouts that may be taken and when they may be taken during the match.
Rationale:
With the increase in the number of matches being broadcast in some electronic format, it is appropriate to establish a procedure for electronic media time-outs.
Comment:
With the increase in the number of matches being broadcast in some electronic format, it is appropriate to set the manner for state associations to develop policy and procedure for electronic media time-outs. This will provide consistency in the potential interruption of play and in a method to have minimal impact on the flow of the match.Slide8

Placement of net antennas when vertical tape marker is used
As stated in Rule 3-1-5, net antennas shall be attached to the net in line with the outside edge of the sideline and extend upward at least 2 ½ feet but no more than 3 ½ feet above the net. The antennas shall be fastened securely to the top and bottom of the net. If vertical tape markers are used, they are fastened to each end of the net. The marker is located directly over and perpendicular to the sideline. The antennas should be affixed to the outer edge of the marker. Whether tape markers are used or not, antennas should be place perpendicular to and in line with the outside edge of each sideline.

Host school responsible for providing and training
assistant officials
According to Rule 5-1-1, assistant officials include the scorer,
libero
tracker, timer and line judges. However these assistant officials are secured, it is imperative that they are properly trained prior to the match. While match referees will review the duties of each assistant official with the assigned individual, it is not the responsibility of the match referees to train these individuals. Improperly trained scorers, trackers and line judges can cause significant delays within the match and could impact the outcome of a rally or match. Their importance should not be underestimated.

Court Protocol at Start of the Set– Rule 5-3-4a states that the second referee checks the lineups for each team. In some circumstances, team huddles at the start of the set have delayed the ability of the second referee to check the lineups in a timely manner. Team huddles on the court shall not interfere with the ability of the second referee to check lineups in a timely manner or delay the start of the set. If a huddle, cheer, etc. causes such an interference or delay, the officials shall signal the players into position and administer the situation in such a way to prevent future delays.
Players to take positions on the court without delay

According to Rules 4-2-7 and 4-2-9, a single partial/whole manufacturer’s logo/trademark/reference, no more than 2 ¼ square inches with no dimension more than 2 ¼ inches, is permitted on each piece of the uniform and visible garments worn under the uniform top provided placement does not interfere with the visibility of the player’s number. Some manufacturers are making uniform items with multiple logos in different locations – e.g., at the front neckline and on the back of the uniform top. Players are folding over waistbands that include multiple manufacturer logos making them visible. Other players are wearing visible garments under the uniform which include manufacturer logos larger than the designated size. Coaches and players shall check all uniform items and visible garments worn under the uniform in advance to ensure compliance with the manufacturer’s logo rules.
Only one manufacturer’s logo per uniform piece

Importance of Line
Judges
The
importance of line judges in the game of volleyball cannot be emphasized enough. The fast pace and powerful play makes it extremely difficult for the referees to consistently and accurately observe all the hits landing in the proximity of the sidelines and end lines or a ball passing outside the net antennae or critical touches by a player(s) as a ball goes out of bounds. The line judges must step up and assist with these calls for the referees. However, because it is customary in many matches to use individuals other than officials for line judges, the burden of quality in officiating in the line judge position rests with the schools. Advanced and proper training is paramount to the quality of the line judges and their ability to carry out their responsibilities and the total quality of the officiated match. With every end of rally resulting in a point, the match will be shortchanged for the players if the line judges are not properly trained and expected to meet their responsibilities.Slide21

Substitutes and
Libero
Entry onto the Playing
Court
Without
careful attention by the second referee, the scorer and the libero tracker, it is easy to have an error occur in the procedure or actual substitution or
libero
replacement. The second referee is responsible to recognize and grant a requested legal substitution, be certain the scorer has the sub recorded before sending the incoming player(s) onto the court, the substitution procedure is followed and the substitute assumes the proper position on the court. If there is a
libero
replacement, the second referee must be aware of the replacement and the proper procedure followed. The
libero
tracker must record and be certain this is the correct player. The scorer must be alert if the
libero
is to serve and be certain the
libero
is serving in the proper position in the serving order. A lack of focus in any of these positions can let an error occur undetected which upon discovery will cause confusion and interrupt the flow of play. It is critical each of these individuals know these and their other responsibilities for substitutions, replacements and keep their focus for substitutions and
libero
replacements entering the court.Slide22
