The umpire is getting the referee’s attention early to shock the referee who likely isn’t aware of the extra contact that the next contact will be a 4-hit fault. Umpire Action: Team A has already contacted the ball three times, and unlike an easy 4-hit call, the umpire realizes that – by angle and player positioning – the referee was unlikely to have seen one of the contacts (first or second).The referee has agreed to be alert (awareness of partner movement) to pick up this type of information. Umpire has agreed to step out big to be very visible on this call.If a team has an “extra” contact that the referee might not have seen (such as where a ball glances off a player, is then passed and set), the referee has asked that the “unusual” 4-hit call be shown early (as soon as the third hit is not attacked) by the umpire to alert the referee that the next contact will be the team’s fourth hit.Informal Signals 4 hits – Scenario 2 “Extra contact not seen by referee”

Keep an open mind toward assimilating these informal signals into your officiating since they can help you and your partner get the calls right!.Learning more effective use of informal signals can help facilitate the matches that you officiate.Making a Commitment toward Becoming a Better VB Official Guidance In its search for improving high school girls’ volleyball, the NFHS includes representatives of USAV and PAVO at its annual meeting where rules, mechanics and instructional techniques are discussed. OVERVIEW Much of the information on informal signaling and how it can benefit matches has been developed over time from other volleyball sources – USA Volleyball (USAV) and, for college women’s volleyball, PAVO (the Professional Association of Volleyball Officials). This comes over time from other volleyball officiating venues. There is additional information regarding how informal signals help the referee and umpire get the calls right. OVERVIEW A lot of good information about using informal signals is available in the 2007-08 NFHS Volleyball Rules Book and the 2007-08 NFHS Volleyball Case Book and Manual.
