Matt Levoe: A Ref's Guide to Beach Volleyball

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Matt Levoe, one of the most respected referees in the game of beach volleyball and also the first ref we’ve had on since John Rodriguez quite some time ago. It was a much-needed episode, as we chatted:

• The never-ending, constantly revolving debate around calling doubles and lifts. How do refs call it, and how has it changed in recent years?
• Why would anyone in their right mind want to become a referee?
• Troy Fields catch and release joust, and other nuanced rules of the game
• Adapting between reffing indoor and beach, professional and college

And so much more. This is a fully comprehensive discussion on the rules and how the sport of volleyball and beach volleyball is called.
