Hi Club Directors!

In an effort to provide necessary information to you, your coaches/teams and others involved with your clubs, this email highlights the rules that apply to uniforms for the 2008-09 season. All of these rules can be found in the 2008-09 USA Volleyball Domestic Competition Regulations:

  • USAV 4.3.3, pg. 16: Jerseys must be numbered in a permanent manner from 1 to 99; no duplicate numbers. (Note: A "leading zero," ie., 01,

    02, 03, etc., is not legal; nor is the number zero.)

  • USAV 4.3.3.1a, pg. 16: Numbers must be centered on the front and back of the jerseys. (Note: This means that numbers placed on the front of the jersey in the upper left or upper right shoulder area are not legal.)

  • USAV 4.3.3.2, pg. 17: Numbers on the chest must be at least 4" in height; 6" is recommended. Numbers on the back must be at least 6" in height; 8" is recommended.

  • The above rules are not rule changes for this season. They were in effect last season as well. However, the following rule is new this season, so please pay particular attention to it.

  • USAV 19.2a, pg. 56: The Libero's jersey must contrast in color with that of the predominant colors of the jerseys of the other team members. Color combinations such as purple/black, dark green/black, navy/maroon, and white/light yellow are not distinctive enough to comply with the rules.

Let me break this down a bit...

First, the predominant colors of a team's jersey do not include trim on collars, sleeves, etc. Likewise, small designs are not considered, nor

is the narrow gusset or panel which is often below the side/arm pit area. However, a gusset or panel in this area, which is particulary wide (10 inches, for example), may be considered as a predominant color on the jersey.

Secondly, a USAV Rules Interpretation Bulletin is currently being finalized, and it will include more specific information regarding this rule, including pictures or graphics.

Based upon this rule incidentally, since the Libero's jersey must contrast to the predominant colors of the other team members' jerseys, that means that the Libero's jersey may not be any of the predominant colors of the regular jersey because it will not meet the "contrast" requirement in the rules. For example, if a team wears a jersey that is half red and half white, the Libero's jersey can be neither of those colors.

Please keep this information in mind as you place your uniform orders for this season! I will immediately forward and/or have the related USAV Rules Interpretation Bulletin posted on the OVR website. Also, keep in mind that "contrast," by USAV interpretation basically means "dark vs. light". If your primary jersey is a light color, pick a dark color for the Libero jersey, or vice versa.

Lastly, if you have any questions about the legality of your uniform selections, feel free to forward me a digital photo of the jerseys (team jersey & Libero jersey). Ideally, there will be photos of both the front and back of the jerseys.

Thanks for all you do for our junior players in the OVR, and I'll look forward to seeing you on the courts this season!
