About Volleyball Refereeing
Why My Refereeing Hits Different
Volleyball runs in my blood. Since I’ve been a player, coach, and now a certified volleyball referee, I get what’s at stake on court. That player’s instinct helps me read the game, not just the rulebook. I know when a call keeps the match fair and when it kills the josh (spirit) for everyone.
Credentials You Can Trust
- Certified volleyball referee (India) with real match experience
- SAI NIS certified coach, so I know the technical side inside out
- Senior national player background - big matches don’t shake me
Where I Usually Referee
- School, college, and university tournaments
- Corporate leagues, local and regional championships
- High-pressure finals, even those crunch deciders
My Style On The Court
Frank-aag helbeku (to be honest), I’m strict but not heartless. I stay direct, no drama, no bias. Players call me Naveen anna because I look out for their effort and make sure the game’s played right, with full spirit but always within the rules. I talk in Kannada, Hindi, or English - whatever keeps things clear.
Where I Work
Based in Bangalore, I cover matches anywhere in Karnataka and can travel for bigger tournaments. If you want volleyball tournament officiating that balances fairness and energy, I’m your guy.

My Story
Volleyball is my world, seriously. Senior National Player, SAI NIS coach, referee, and yeah, I’m with Karnataka State Police too. Won gold at Karnataka State Olympics, silver as a coach with U18 boys, and a 'Best Setter' award in Pune. My students call me 'Naveen anna,' always laughing that I scold more than teach - 'kalisiddikinta baididde jaasti.' Still playing at 43, still learning. Chess calms me down. Simple motto: work hard, never give up.
