How to line judge

Katie Roth
If your student-athlete continues to play volleyball throughout MS and HS, during home games parents will be asked to volunteer to line judge. Here is a quick break down on "how" and a link to a video for clarity and an article resource.

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". 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". 

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 line, not the ball. 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. So always remember to get your eyes to the line before the ball lands.


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.
