NE2 Headset Pilot Program

Submitted by volleyball_admin on Mon, 07/08/2024 - 2:19pm

From Kevin Kane, NE2 Volleyball Vice-President

To the membership:

At the end of the 2023 girls volleyball season, there was a state tournament match where a concern about rotation and serving order for one of the teams could not be readily resolved by the official assigned as the R2. Because the officials could not communicate directly with each other, the R1 had to leave the referee’s stand after several minutes to cross the court to help correct the errors that had been made. If the officials had the ability to communicate directly, it may have been possible to fix the error much faster.

This past winter, I approached the Executive Council about running a pilot program with radio headsets so officials could communicate directly and immediately should there be any situations like the one in the state tournament.

Over the course of the current boys volleyball season, I have been using the Midland LXT600BB Walkie Talkie Set with the partners assigned to work with me in scrimmages and regular season matches. These headsets can be combined with other similar sets to allow for all officials to communicate with one another in real time.
