    Line judges stand at the intersection of the end line and sideline to assist referees in making calls on balls landing near those boundary lines. They hold their positions throughout the match without alternating sides. When making calls, line judges signal "in" with palms down if the ball lands inside the court or on the line, and "out" with palms facing backwards if the ball lands outside the court. They also watch for antenna faults, signaling with one hand pointing to the antenna and the other held over their head.

    HOW TO BE A VOLLEYBALL LINE JUDGE

    Line judges are to assist the referee make calls for balls landing on or near
    the sideline and end line closest to them.

    LINE JUDGE POSITIONING


    Each line judge stands at the intersection of
    end line and sideline. (No more than 1 foot from
    the corner in each direction)

    The first line judge stands to the right of the


    referee on the same side of the court and
    the other line judge stands cattycorner to
    the first line judge.

    Line judges hold these same positions


    throughout the match and do not
    alternate sides along with their team.

    MAKING THE CALL


    The court boundary lines are part of the court, so if the ball lands on
    the line, the correct signal will be "in".

    It's important to be watching the ball, not the line. If you are watching the ball and not
    the line, there's a chance you could get the call wrong. This is because you won't have
    much time to focus on the line as the ball hits the ground.

    1. “IN”---Every time the ball lands near a line that you are
    responsible for, you should be making a signal. When the ball
    lands on the ground inside the court, you will signal “IN” by
    placing two hands out with arms extended, palms down and in
    front of your body at approximately waste level. ------------

    2. “OUT”---If the ball contacts the ground outside the court


    and hasn't been touch by a player on that side of the court,
    you will signal "out" by placing two hands UP at eye level
    with your palms facing backwards.-------------------------

    (Continued on back)
    3. Antenna Fault.

    Another responsibility for the volleyball line judge is watching where the ball
    crosses the plane of the net.

    The ball is "out" if the ball crosses outside of, or over either antenna. Also, if the
    ball contacts the antenna or the body of the net outside the antenna.

    Point to the antenna with one hand and at the same time, hold your other hand
    over your head signaling out.

    This will indicate to the referee that the ball illegally crossed the net.

    Important Tips for Line Judges

    1. The referee will be looking at you during the match for help. Always be
    ready to help out.

    2. Call everything you see no matter how obvious it might be. Remember, a
    referee won't always see everything. A referee may not see a ball that lands 3 feet
    in the court because of being screened from the play.

    3. Always give great signals and really sell your calls. Believe in yourself and
    be ready to give the signal with authority.

    4. When you make the call, be sure to make eye contact with the referee.

    5. If the referee overrules you, don't worry about it. This will happen because
    sometimes the referee will see things differently. If you are trying your best and
    always paying attention, the chances of being overruled are much less.

    6. Be ready for the next set to begin. Be aware of when the teams take the court
    for the next set. You want to be ready to go when the line ups are being checked
    by the second referee.

    7. Get out of the way of a player. When a player comes near you to make a play,
    be sure to step out of the way so you don't interfere with play
