1-6-2: Prior to timed warm-ups, a conference shall be conducted
with the head coach and captain(s) from each team.
Rationale: This change more accurately reflects what many states
already permit by allowing more than one captain to attend the prematch conference as many teams have co-captains.
5: Replace all references to referee with first referee and
replace all references to umpire with second referee.
Rationale: More accurately reflects the current terminology in the
sport of volleyball.
5-1-1: Assistant officials include scorer, libero
tracker, timer and line judges.
Rationale: The change of deleting any reference to assistant scorer
to only libero tracker (LT) more easily identifies
the position and its responsibilities.
5-8-4: By state high school association adoption, line judges
may use flags.
Rationale: The opportunity to use flags continues. This change
clarifies the state association shall have the responsibility to determine how
the use of flags shall be implemented if they are used.
