  2. Point of Emphasis for 2006-07Proper Procedures for Handling Apparent Concussions (Information provided by the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.) Action Plan If you suspect that a player has a concussion, you should take the following steps: 1. Remove athlete from play. 2. Ensure athlete is evaluated by an appropriate health care professional. Do not try to judge the seriousness of the injury yourself. 3. Inform athlete’s parents or guardians about the known or possible concussion and give them the fact sheet on concussion. 4. Allow the athlete to return to play only with permission from an appropriate health care professional.

  3. Point of Emphasis for 2006-07Proper Procedures for Handling Apparent Concussions Signs Observed by Coaching Staff • Appears dazed or stunned • Is confused about assignment • Forgets plays • Is unsure of game, score or opponent • Moves clumsily Signs and Symptoms These signs and symptoms may indicate that a concussion has occurred. • Answers questions slowly • Loses consciousness • Shows behavior or personality changes • Can’t recall events prior to hit • Can’t recall events after hit

  4. Point of Emphasis for 2006-07Proper Procedures for Handling Apparent Concussions Signs and Symptoms These signs and symptoms may indicate that a concussion has occurred. Symptoms Reported by Athlete • Headache • Nausea • Balance problems or dizziness • Double vision or fuzzy vision • Sensitivity to light or noise • Feeling sluggish • Feeling foggy or groggy • Concentration or memory problems • Confusion

  5. Officials UniformRule 5-2-1 • The first impression the official makes will be through appearance. Proper uniform is expected and required. All-white, short sleeved collared polo style shirt Black slacks Solid black athletic shoes and black socks (State Association may modify uniform)

  6. Professionalism of Officiating Crew Rule 5 and Officials Manual Part 3 • A thorough prematch review should occur with the referee and umpire and then with the remainder of officiating team. • The responsibilities and location of line judges at time-outs and between games is critical to have LJ be full part of officiating team. • When LJ is not in proper position during these segments of the match the entire officiating team can loose credibility with teams and spectators as to knowledge and/or interest in the match.

  7. Professionalism of Officiating Crew Rule 5 and Officials Manual Part 3 • Line judge on time-out stands at intersection of attack line and sideline near referee and on the LJ’s respective side of court. • Line judge on serving team’s side shall hold game ball • Referee may have a question of line judge and shall request LJ to come to the stand.

  8. Begin ServeSignal 15 • The description of the “Begin Serve” signal is standard yet many officials customize this signal “Extend arm towards server, then blow the whistle to serve and move the extended hand and arm in a sweeping motion to opposite shoulder.” • The following pointers will assist all officials in the proper and consistent display of issuing the begin serve signal.

  9. Begin Serve – Tips for ConsistencySignal 15 • The referee’s whistle is a regular whistle and regular length • The whistle is not as long as it takes to beckon serve • The begin serve signal is not held until contact with the ball • The referee shall give the begin serve signal and then drop hand ready for serve

  10. NFHS Experiment with Libero ServingRule 9-5-6 • The libero and the replacement must enter or leave the court in the libero replacement zone, over the sideline between the attack line and the end line. (See court diagram) • A team is assessed an unnecessary delay for improper libero replacement procedures.

  11. NFHS Experiment with Libero ServingRule 9-5-6 • In one rotation, the libero can replace the player in the service position and serve the next rally even if he/she is already on the court in replacement of another back row player. • In this situation, the libero does not have to exit the court before replacing the player in the service position.

  12. NFHS Experiment with Libero ServingRule 9-5-6 • The coach is not required to indicate on the lineup sheet the position where the libero will serve. At any point in the game, the coach can determine the position where the libero will serve by simply having the libero replace that server.

  13. NFHS Experiment with Libero ServingRule 9-5-6 • Once the libero serves in a particular position in a game, that is the only position where the libero is allowed to serve. However, the libero is not required to serve in that position for all subsequent rotations. The starting player, a legal substitute, or the libero can serve any rally that takes place whenever that position is in the service position.

  14. NFHS Experiment with Libero ServingRule 9-5-6 • The scorer must record on the scoresheet when the libero serves during each game. The assistant scorer must record the position where the libero serves on the Libero Tracking Sheet as well. (See “Directions for Scorer and Assistant Scorer”)

  15. Directions for Scorer and Assistant ScorerRecording Libero Serving – Running Score • The libero can serve in one rotation by replacing the player who is in the service position and who would serve the next ball. • When the libero serves, a triangle is placed around each point scored by the libero in the running score.

  17. Directions for Scorer and Assistant ScorerRecording Libero Serving – Scoresheet • On the scoresheet the scorer shall place a triangle around the position within the serving order to identify where the libero can serve. • This assists scorer to make sure the libero is not attempting to serve in two positions.

  20. Future Consideration of Officials SignalSignal 17 • The sport of volleyball at every level has incorporated rally scoring. • A point is awarded at the end of each rally and side-out terminology is no longer a part of the game. • The NCAA has officially requested the NFHS Volleyball Rules Committee, via input from member associations, to adopt the common signal for the end of the rally and ultimate point awarded. • With many officials calling high school and college during the same season, the request is presented to assist the officials for a common signal.
