Which signal is never repeated by the second referee?

Which signal is never repeated by the second referee?

• A. End set/match
• B. Service fault
• C. Illegal block
• D. Four contacts

Answer: (B)

Signaling responsibilities in volleyball involve the second referee repeating many of the first referee’s calls to keep players, coaches, and scorers informed. However, not every signal is echoed. A service fault is not repeated because the rally ends immediately with a point and the serve sequence moves on; repeating it would add no clarity and could slow play. In contrast, signals like ending the set or match, or calls such as an illegal block or four contacts, are repeated to ensure everyone understands the outcome and the next server. So the signal that is never repeated is the service fault.
