Volleyball Official

Nicole got her first paying job.  She's babysat a few times, but it's really not her cup of tea.  She found out that the high schoolers could be paid to be the junior high volleyball officials, and she signed right up.  Did a good job, too.  Of course, the job's over already, because other students are reffing the remaining home games, but she reffed both games last week and came away with $60 for her effort.  Pays better than babysitting, too!

There's always one ref up on this platform and another ref standing on the floor at the opposite end of the net.

She didn't hesitate to take the "up" position the first night when the other student said she didn't want it.  I love how confident she is.

She's now done both positions and I'm sure will do it again for next year's season.  She's also shown an interest in doing some reffing for basketball.  I think she's found another niche.  Especially if it's a profitable one!
