C. Lesson Proper
 Before we start with our lesson, allow
me to read to you first the objectives of
our lesson.
 At the end of our 30 minutes lesson,
you are expected to identify the
different hand signals in volleyball, and
be able to officiate a game using the
official hand signals and flag signals in
volleyball from what we are about to
discuss.
 Now let us go to our lesson. Today we
are going to discuss the different hand
signals and flag signals of the referees
and line judges in volleyball. But first
let us know what the referees and line
judges do and how do they help in the
game.
 Referees and line judges are the
officials who watches a game or match
closely to ensure that the rules of the
game are followed.
 Now, I am going to discuss and
demonstrate the different hand signals
and flag signals of the referee and line
judge in volleyball.
 In volleyball we have 21 hand signals
 and 5 flag signals. All signals which are
made with one hand shall be made with
the hand on the side of the team that
commits the fault or makes the request.
 First is the authorization to serve. The
referee is the one to determine when
will the server serve the ball. So the
referee moves their hand to indicate the
direction of service.
(demonstrate)
 Team to serve. The referee extends their
arm to the side of the team that will
serve.
(demonstrate)
 Change of courts. The referee raises
their forearms front and back and twist
them around the body.
(demonstrate)
 Time-Out. When a team asks for time-
out or time to rest, the referee places
their palm of one hand over the fingers
of the other, held vertically (forming a
“T”) and then indicate the requesting
team.
(demonstrate)
 Substitution. The referee makes a
circular motion of the forearms around
each other.
(demonstrate)
 Misconduct penalty. It’s for a player’s
rude conduct, the referee shows a
yellow card for penalty.
(demonstrate)
 Expulsion. For repeated rude conduct,
the player must leave the playing area
for the remainder of the game, the
referee shows a red card for expulsion.
(demonstrate)
 Disqualification is for offensive conduct
and aggression, the player is sanctioned
by disqualification and must leave the
playing area for the remainder of the
match. The referee shows both cards
jointly for disqualification.
(demonstrate)
 End of set or match. The referee crosses
their forearms in front of the chest,
hands open.
(demonstrate)
 Ball not tossed or released at the service
hit. Once a player tosses the ball up for
their serve and catches the ball without
completing their serve action. The
referee lifts the extended arm, the palm
 of the hand facing upwards.
(demonstrate)
 Delay in service. If the server does not
hit the ball within 8 seconds after the
referee whistles for service, the referee
raises eight fingers, spread open.
(demonstrate)
 Blocking fault or screening. It occurs
when a player goes up at the net to
block the ball coming over but fails to
do so legally. The referee raises both
arms vertically, palms forward.
(demonstrate)
 Positional or rotation fault. The referee
makes a circular motion with the
forefinger.
(demonstrate)
 Ball “In”. When the ball hits the floor
inside the court, the referee points their
arm and fingers toward the floor.
(demonstrate)
 Ball “Out”. When the ball hits the floor
outside the court, the referee raises their
forearms vertically, hands open, palms
toward the body.
(demonstrate)
 Catch. When the ball is caught or
thrown, the referee slowly lifts their
forearm, palm of the hand facing
upwards.
(demonstrate)
 Double contact. It occurs when a player
contacts the ball twice succession, or
the ball contacts various parts of the
body successively. The referee raises
two fingers, spread open.
(demonstrate)
 Four hits. This violation occurs when a
team makes contact with the ball more
than three times in one rally. The
referee raises four fingers, spread open.
(demonstrate)
 Attack hit fault. It is any type of
violation committed during an attack
hit, a hit that is intended to return the
ball over the net to the opposing team.
The referee makes a downward motion
with the forearm, hand open.
(demonstrate)
 Double fault and replay. It occurs when
players of opposing teams
simultaneously commit faults. A replay
is called for double faults. The referee
raises both thumbs vertically.
 (demonstrate)
 Ball touched. If the ball touches a player
and subsequently lands on the ground
on their side of the court, the referee
brushes with the palm of one hand the
fingers of the other, held vertically.
(demonstrate)
 And now let us go to the official line
judge flag signals. So what is a line
judge?
 Line judges are the ones to assist the
referee make calls for balls landing on
or near the sideline and end line closest
to them. There are 5 line judge flag
signals. First we have…
 Ball in. If the ball is in, the line judge
points down with flag.
(demonstrate)
 Ball out. If the ball is out, the line judge
raises flag vertically.
(demonstrate)
 Ball touched. It’s when the ball touches
a player and lands on the ground on
their side of the court, the line judge
raise flag and touch the top with the
palm of the free hand.
(demonstrate)
 Crossing space faults, ball touched an
outside object or foot fault by any
player during service. The line judge
waves the flag over the head and point
to the antenna or the respective line.
(demonstrate)
 Judgement impossible. It occurs when
the line judge is unable to evaluate a
fault. The line judge raise and cross
both arms and hands in front of the
chest.
(demonstrate)

 And those are the official referee hand

signals and line judge flag signals in
volleyball.
