I have tickets to games that I will give you if you want to go and parking pass
since you were there what were the calls the net guy called 5 times. I don't know all the signs given. Thanks
That is mighty kind of you. Some good games left so I will definitely go to more. Will PM you
Man, if some of you who know volleyball I have the same question. I see the same calls at our local high school games and I don’t understand it. The Clones lost a number of points due to apparent net violations but I had no idea what for. Seems like the net official would hold up 2 fingers or 4 fingers but that wasn’t the number of hits.
I don’t know all the signs either, so we try to listen to the announcer and those near us. I wish I had someone to sit next to me and tell me what the calls are. I’m usually watching the ball and not the call. I do “know” that you cannot touch the net, any play, either team.
The down ref signals who is in the net. Most of the time, it's on a defender who is attempting a block.
Closed fist is shorthand for "10." So if the call is against Gonzalez, for example, the down ref motions toward the net and then holds up a fist (10) and four fingers -- for 14 (her jersey number).
So what happens when there is a net violation, the umps put a flat hand towards the net on the side where the infraction happens. Then holds up the number of the player that touched the net. So if it was Maya who is number 5, they would hold up a five. Now to confuse you, if Nayelei who is 14 was in the net, you cannot hold up a ten then 4, so they hold up one hand as a 4 and the other hand as a fist, which means ten.
OK, this is very helpful but sometimes it doesn’t look like a player even jumped into the net. Is it a violation if your foot crosses the imaginary line between the net and the floor? Say while a player is positioning herself.
