• Question is: How good do you want to be? Can you visualise yourself on the Olympic Field of Play?

• That’s going to be your job – if you want it enough.

• There will be others…maybe better performers than you…

• You have to maintain the pace…• Maintain the commitment…• Train yourself as you are trained…• Your target – be a member of least one of

the teams of NTO's each day in the Olympics – and leave a legacy of experience.

• STARTED in summer 2007 in England

• The Olympic clock is ticking

• The Beach NTO's for Beijing started serious training FIVE years out. So did the Volleyball NTO's…..And their experience was already greater than ours!

• That means we need to catch up fast and be realistic about the task.

Who & what is an NTO?

• NTO’s are– National Technical Officials

• Line Judges• Scorers

• ITO’s are– International Referees

• SSV’s are– Sport Specific Volunteers – Field of Play

• Floor Moppers• Ball Retrievers

• The line judge style or score process

• The line judge or scorer duties

• The line judge & scorer commitment

• The Rules!

• Note: Beach…it is 90% the same philosophy 60% same technique

• Your existing experience of line judging or scoring may cause you to doubt your importance today.

• This might be because of the type of line judge decision making or scoring you have witnessed

• Or maybe you had a bad experience as a line judge or scorer in another life!

TYPES OF NTOTYPES OF NTO

• Looks unfit

• Looks bored

• Looks only at the line

• Sags

• Holds the flag wrong

• Slouches as a scorer

• Looks WRONG

• About BOTH line judges

• About the stance?

• About the focus?

• About the signal itself?

• About the communication with the Referee?

• About the preparation for making the decision and signal?

LJ Seep

• Oblivious to everything – probably thinking of something other than the match

• Cue 2nd Video Clip

• Won’t make any decision – and when he/she does it will be the wrong one! Notice that scaredy-cat will be as far from the court as possible….

• What distance should the line judge be from the court?

• 1.5 – 2 metres is usually enough.

• More than this and you become detached from the match.

• Experienced in the game and resistant to pressure

• Energetic – willing to go the extra yard

• Fit – i.e. looks athletic

• BMI below 28

• Knowledgeable about the game and about rules

• Willing to learn

• Qualified referee …or willing to become so…or just plain smart!.

This could be you

• They train as line judges

• It is seen as important to them

• They work as a team

• They employ military precision

• They are invariably correct

• Their signals are perfect

• They know what to do and when

• They don’t appear surprised – they are POKER FACED

• What philosophy should we cultivate?

• What is the manner of the line judge?

• How do we gauge our own professionalism?

• We need to be able to stand outside and evaluate ourselves

• Rules give the list of functions

• Rules give the list of responsibilities…

HOWEVER

• …do not teach the Manner

• …do not teach the Method

• …do not teach the Style

• …do not teach the Focus

• …do not teach how to cooperate

• They set the level of professionalism:- Through their body language- Eyes looking alert- By giving players confidence to focus on

playing- By making the image of the game better- By allowing fewer arguments- By facilitating the work of the referees- By letting the players entertain

ITO’s & NTO’s are Facilitators

• Remember - Line judges relate to…

• 1st referee

• Teams

• Spectators

• TV audience

• …even if they don’t realise it

• Remember - Starts before the match….

• - with other line judges

• - with the referees

• - through talk, gesture, body language

• - by exuding professional calm

• - by arriving early

• - by staying at the grouping point

• Maybe it looks slow on TV – the reality is incredibly fast

Remember:

The Rules give a basic framework to our activities as referees, scorers and line judges;We need to understand why the rule is there and what it is for;We need to apply them with common sense;convert KNOWLEDGE into WISDOM.

Remember: the teams have trained for years for this opportunity – for some just being here is a victory. We must allow them to give their best effort – to have their time in the sun

• Eyes Attention Professional Alert Active

• Attention to detail Knowledge of attack

• Knowledge of psychology Rules Knowledge

• Calm Dignity Decisive Anticipate

• React fast Cooperate Assist but not insist
