Thank you to Lori Eaton and Russel Williams for their service to the Florida Region as JAB representatives over the past many years. I had the great pleasure of attending the recent induction ceremonies at the International Volleyball Hall of Fame in Holyoke, MA (the birthplace of our great sport). This is always a great reminder of the amazing people that have overcome great obstacles to accomplish impressive feats and make a positive impact on the sport of volleyball. Six inductees attended from Russia, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Brazil (x2), and our very own Tara Cross-Battle from the USA.

Other inductees included Joop Alberda (Netherlands), Nalbert Bitencourt (Brazil), Miloslav Ejem (Czech Republic), Sandra Pires (Brazil) and Roza Salikhova (USSR). Tara’s claim to fame was when she became the United States' first four-time Olympic Games volleyball player having competed in the Games in 1992, 1996, 2000 and 2004. In her debut Olympics, she helped the United States to the bronze medal in Barcelona.

It is now required that either the Libero or their teammates wear a solid color jersey. The solid color jersey must clearly contrast from the predominant color(s) of the teammates’ jersey. Predominant colors are those that appear on approximately half of the body of the uniform jersey. To be considered solid colored: a. Sleeves must be the same color as the body of the jersey. b. Piping/trim not exceeding 1 inch in total at its widest point may be placed along the seams and may be a different color than the uniform jersey. c. Lettering and collars can be a different color than the body of the jersey. d. Numbers must be a contrasting color and meet all other specifications in Rule 4.3.3 and associated USAV regulations. The information is posted on the Florida Region web site, click here for details. Also on that site you will find a link to a video that explains the new solid color jersey rule in detail, with examples of compliant and non-compliant jerseys. It is recommended that club officials who are ordering uniforms watch this important video from USA Volleyball in order to be certain that the uniforms for the club will be compliant with the new rule, should the club and / or teams utilize a Libero during their matches.

One of the greatest lessons athletes take away from sport is the experience of being on a team where coaches and individuals support one another. Actions that demean or intimidate athletes, either physically or emotionally, can affect performance and team cohesion. Since bullying often occurs among peers, coaches can set an example with a zero-tolerance policy and emphasize teamwork and mutual support. Giving athletes a way to report behavior without fear of reprisal is also important. Examples of bullying include both physical and emotional behaviors:      Hitting, pushing, punching, beating, biting, striking, kicking, choking or slapping Throwing at or hitting an athlete with objects such as sporting equipment Teasing, ridiculing and intimidating Spreading rumors or making false statements Using electronic communications, social media or other technology to harass, frighten, intimidate or humiliate (“cyber bullying”) Visit the SafeSport website for more tips!
