Professional Volleyball Officiating and Match Management
My perspective on the game comes from decades of playing at the state and national level. I bring that same player's instinct to every match I referee in Bengaluru.

A single-hand block is all about timing and instinct. This moment from a night match shows the technical skills I've honed over years of playing, which helps me appreciate and judge complex plays as a referee.
This shows two sides of my game: a powerful spike during a state championship and a jump training exercise. This athleticism and technical knowledge is the foundation of my expertise as a player, coach, and referee.

About The Player Behind the Whistle
When I stand on the high chair, I am not just looking at the rulebook. I am reading the rhythm of the game, anticipating the moves because I still play them myself. Whether it is a school league or a corporate tournament, I focus on game flow management—stopping unnecessary disputes before they disrupt the match and ensuring the josh remains high on both sides of the net.
Being a referee isn't just about calling fouls; it is about respecting the sport. My transition from a Senior National player to a certified official in Karnataka happened because I wanted to bridge the gap between strict rule enforcement and the actual spirit of the game.
How I Officiate
When I am the First Referee, I rely on my experience as a SAI NIS coach to understand the technical faults—substitutions, service errors, or net touches—that define the outcome of a match. My style is what I call Frank-aag helbeku (to be honest). You won't see me engaging in unnecessary drama, but I will maintain strict decorum on the court.
Where I Work
I cover matches across Bengaluru and the wider Karnataka region. My services include:
- Match Officiating: I handle high-stakes finals and league matches, ensuring FIVB rules are enforced fairly.
- Tournament Management: For full-day events, I act as the Technical Delegate, ensuring 6 to 8 matches run on time, managing disputes between captains, and keeping the court safe.
I treat every game with the same intensity as a state-level final. If you want a referee who understands the game from the inside out and knows how to keep things fair and disciplined, get in touch.
