I bring that same player's instinct to every match I referee in Bengaluru. ## Photos and videos - [Video: This frontline shot from a competitive match shows I still have the player's fire.

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. ## About Naveen Kumar Shetty I am Naveen Shetty, and volleyball is my world. I am a player, a coach, and a referee, and I believe in working hard and never giving up. When I am on your court, you get a fair game backed by real-world experience, not just textbook theory.
