The following modifications have been approved by the volleyball committees for high school volleyball. There are NO "waivers" to any of these modifications!

BOYS' AND GIRLS' MODIFICATIONS

  1.  The sportsmanship card will be read at the captain's meeting the first time either referee officiates for that team.

  2.  The sportsmanship card will be read any at sectional and regional contest.

  3.  A referee will not remove any expelled or disqualified team member from the team or spectator areas. Sanctions will be given to the head coach for any further disruptions caused by an expelled or disqualified player.

  5.  The only type of barrette that is legal is a "flexible" barrette.

  6.  Jewelry is NOT permitted at any time (including the warm-up period). This includes "non-visible" jewelry (tongue studs, navel rings, etc.) Hair ties worn on the wrist are considered jewelry (string bracelets). Note: If a player is wearing tape on the ear, you have the right as an official to ask if jewelry is under the tape. You do not have the right to ask any player to remove tape.

Note: If a player is wearing tape on the ear and informs you there is no jewelry under the tape, if the tape falls off during play and reveals jewelry, the team is sanctioned with a team delay (TYC) and the player is sanctioned with an individual red card (IRC).

  1.  NO high school students (or younger children) should be on the volleyball court participating in any type of warm-up activities or participating as a line judge unless they are wearing proper footwear (sneakers). They are also to NOT be wearing any jewelry.

  2.  The pre-match protocol will start with the captain's meeting and be followed by shared court time. The length of this shared court time will be determined by sectional policy. There is NO shared hitting or serving during any warm-up period including tournament play. The pre-match protocol will then have six minutes for the serving team to be followed by six minutes for the receiving team.

Note: The clock for the warm-up period will start at the conclusion of the captain's meeting. This clock should NOT be stopped unless there is an unusual situation (examples: an injury occurs, an antenna falls to the floor, lights go out in the facility, etc.)
