At the captains' meeting, the first referee should remind the players that jewelry is allowed during warm-ups, but not during the match.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Jewelry allowed during warm-ups and match
• D. Jewelry never allowed

Answer: (B)

Jewelry poses safety risks on the court, so it’s not allowed during volleyball competition at any time. This includes the warm-up period as players are moving around and could snag or injure themselves or others. The captain’s meeting is where officials remind players to remove jewelry before warm-ups start and keep it off during the match. There are usually only limited exceptions for medical jewelry, and even then it must be secured and permitted by the officials. So the statement that jewelry is allowed during warm-ups but not during the match isn’t correct.
