An Assistant Ref In Your Pocket.
Missed rotation? Impossible.
Illegal sub? Blocked.
Libero violation? Caught.
Wrong tap? Undo.
Start scoring in under a minute.
One Mistake. Everyone Notices.
Coaches protest. Players argue. And the rulebook keeps getting thicker.
Missed Rotations
It slips by until the other coach catches it. Now you're replaying points, replaying the argument, and replaying it in your head on the drive home.
Illegal Substitutions
Six subs per set. Positional restrictions. Libero replacements. Exceptional subs. You're tracking all of it in your head while both benches are yelling at you.
The Paper Scoresheet
FIVB scoresheets aren't intuitive. One wrong column and you're scratching out entries, scribbling corrections, and hoping the TD doesn't send it back.
The Rules Are Handled. Focus on the Match.
Substitution limits. Rotations. Sanctions. Enforced automatically. You stop second-guessing and start officiating.
Rules Enforced Automatically
FIVB, USAV, NFHS, and NCAA rules built in. Illegal actions are blocked before they happen. Rotation errors? Impossible. The app won't let you make a mistake.
Match Options (All the Variations)
Every league has its quirks. Choose the ruleset, match format, and options you need. VolleyRef supports the variations, and then enforces them during play.
Smart Substitution Tracking
Regular subs. Exceptional subs. Multiple subs at once. Every limit tracked per set. Try to record an illegal sub. The app says no.
Libero Tracking
Wait-a-rally enforcement. Positional restrictions. Re-entry rules. The app handles it so you do not have to count rallies in your head. Optional settings support libero front-court play, or automatic sub-off when the libero reaches the front row.
Libero “Teleportation”
Normally the libero has to wait one point before returning. In libero-serving leagues there is an exception when the libero rotates back in to serve. VolleyRef tracks the libero serving position and keeps it consistent.
Sanctions & Disqualifications
Warnings. Penalties. Expulsions. DQs. When a player is disqualified, the exceptional substitution rules kick in automatically. No rulebook lookup required.
Built for the Court
Big buttons. Clear layout. Designed for the moment when both coaches are staring at you. Fast, clean, and zero hunting through menus.
Full Undo & Redo
Wrong tap on a point, sub, timeout, or sanction? Undo instantly. No restarting sets. No panic.
Live Scoreboard Sharing
Share a live link. Cast to a TV, projector, or second screen. Parents in the stands and fans at home follow every point in real time.
Setup. Score. Done.
