Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.
Below is this week's segment – Volleyball Jewelry - Listen
There’s a new rule in volleyball regarding the wearing of jewelry.
Previously, participants were not allowed to wear stud or post-like jewelry, such as earrings, even if they were covered by tape.
But now, stud or post-like jewelry, worn above the chin, is allowed. Stud earrings are now allowed to be worn during play – and do not need to be covered by tape.
Hoop-style jewelry, such as hoop earrings, are still not allowed, even if covered by tape. If a player is wearing hoop earrings, the coach will be issued an administrative yellow card for the first offense and a red card for a second offense in that set.
Items such as a medical-alert medal or a religious medal must be taped to the body and can be visible during play.
