1 World Volley F É D É R A T I O N I N T E R N A T I O N A L E DE VOLLEYBALL Working together for continued success Official Bulletin No. October 008 Edition in English News World League Council selects Argentina, Netherlands to replace Spain, Egypt in 09 The FIVB World League Council at its annual meeting chose Argentina and the Netherlands to replace Spain and Egypt in the 009 edition of FIVB s flagship annual Men s Volleyball tournament after the latter two national teams were ruled to have the lowest attendance record among the 008 participants. Mr. Jizhong Wei, FIVB President A T the end of the first month of my four-year mandate as FIVB President, I believe that in taking our organisation forward it is imperative the responsibilities of overseeing the administrative duties of the FIVB are shared among the members of the Executive Committee. Indeed, I am expanding on the maxim that two minds are better than one and charging each member of the Executive Committee with the task of using their knowledge and expertise to manage the different FIVB Commissions, Councils and activities. First Executive Vice President Cristóbal Marte Hoffiz will assist me in administrative duties of FIVB marketing matters, Television and New Media, Press and Legal Commission and finance matters with André Meyer (who will also oversee the Referees and Rules Commissions) and Sivanthi Adityan. Second Executive Vice President Theofanis Tsiokris will assist with the Sports Event Department, helped by Habu Ahmed Gumel. Ary Graça will assist on Beach Volleyball matters with Vicente Araujo (also Development Commission President), Aleksandar Boricic will help with Technical and Coaching Commissions, Dr. Amr M. Elwani with Medical Commissions, Rita Subowo with the International Olympic Committee relationship and Dr. Saleh Ahmad Bin Nasser with political matters. Francesco Franchi and Masao Tachiki will follow up all the administrative duties of the World League and World Grand Prix Councils in their roles as Council Presidents. I am sure that working together in this way will ensure the continued success of the FIVB. Mr. Jizhong Wei, FIVB President In accordance with a decision made at the 007 FIVB World League Council meeting approved by the Board of Administration, countries with a poor attendance record are liable to be replaced by other national teams wishing to take part in the World League. The other teams set to take part in the 16-team World League in 009 are 008 winners USA, eight-time champions Italy, seven-time winners Brazil, Poland, Finland, Venezuela, China, Russia, 008 runners-up Serbia, Japan, Cuba, Bulgaria, France and Korea (pool composition on page ).

3 FIVB Commissions fivb Commissions come together in Lausanne The FIVB commissions convened in Lausanne in September for their yearly meetings. During the productive sessions, chaired by new FIVB President Jizhong Wei for the first time, a number of internal decisions and proposals for the Board of Administration were made. World League Council A small working group will be created in order to study future criteria to eliminate and enrol participants and also consider ideas to revamp the event for the next edition of the World League, the competition s 0th anniversary. The group shall work during October and The month of September represents the beginning of the decisional process for the FIVB. The Commissions proposals are summarized, submitted to the Board of Administration and then to the World Congress for final approval or veto. TV and New Media Commission A priority for the TV and New Media Commission is to improve the FIVB video archives to preserve the history of the organisation. The TV and New Media Commission also discussed the possible use of Hawk-Eye (a computer system that can be used to track the path of the ball and assist on close line calls) and will consider testing the system at an upcoming event. It was also proposed to produce a manual with guidelines for TV production standards so every TV broadcaster can reach the standards of the best TV companies. The use of electronic advertising panels is to be carefully studied as it is a potential distraction to players. Another proposal is to distinguish the three-meter attack zone on court with different colours. An FIVBendorsed Volleyball video game was also mooted. The 008 Press Commission The Executive Committee meets Press Commission There were a number of proposals raised by the Press Commission that will be presented to the Board of Administration including the FIVB hiring professional photographers for all FIVB events, to have two Press Delegates in the Control Committee when the competition has two venues, for Press Directors named by the local organisers of FIVB events to be journalists with fluent English. The Press Commission also wants to pay more attention on the press matters of Youth and Junior competitions. The Press Commission has proposed that the FIVB organise a yearly gala celebrating the best Volleyball and Beach Volleyball players, with trophies presented to the winners. FIVB Sports Events Council agrees on continental quotas for Junior and Youth World Championships The FIVB Sports Events Council has agreed that starting from 009 there will be a minimum of two vacancies per continent in each category of the Junior and Youth Volleyball World Championships. The remaining vacancies are to be distributed in accordance with the number of teams from each continental confederation registered for the event, the rank of the registered national teams and continental confederation activities. The host country of the World Championship should be included in the number of vacancies allocated to a continent. The 009 Men s Junior World Championship will have two vacancies for Africa, three for Asia, six for Europe, three for Norceca and two for South America. The 009 Women s Junior World Championship will include one country from Africa (only one team has registered), three from Asia, six from Europe, four from Norceca and two from South America.

The five-day symposium at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada, saw a number of invited experts deliver speeches focusing on Volleyball at school programs and the implementation of such programs. All presentation documents, PowerPoint presentations and lecture videos from last year s meeting are now available at the following link below: Programmes/SchoolVolleyball/ presentedmaterial.asp Professor Hiroshi Toyoda of Japan, the FIVB Technical Commission President, Istvan Balyi of Canada and John Kessel of USA Volleyball were FIVB s invited keynote speakers.

We are always delighted to deliver a finalized development project, said FIVB Technical and Development Director Helgi Thorsteinsson. Volleyball at school is, without a doubt, one of the most important tools in developing our sport and to get children interested in it. The FIVB Development Commission, led by our Commission President Vicente Araujo, has been very focused on grassroots projects and to find ways to satisfy the needs of our member federations to have access to material that is free to use and easily accessible. Our special thanks must go to Mr. Mark FIVB Rules Commission releases new rules text for Volleyball on official FIVB website The FIVB Rules Commission has made available on the FIVB website a text file explaining the new rule changes in Volleyball.

The new rules - the text file only - can be found at: FIVB VB.RulesOfTheGame. Eng.TextfileOnly.pdf The available text explains rule changes such as the optional increase in the number of players in a roster from 1 to 1 or 14 for FIVB and world events for senior players, the option to add a second libero to a squad of more than 1 players as well as rule modifications concerning net and player interference. An updated version of the FIVB Rules of the Game for 009, available in English and French and accompanied by diagrams, will be available to download from the FIVB website in the coming weeks. Tennant, our Development Commission secretary, who was the key driver from the organizer s side, said Thorsteinsson.
