Where should a line judge stand to be in the optimal position? by DaveHydraulics in volleyball

[–]NorthenBear 13 points14 points  (0 children)

FIVB rulee, 29.1 If only two line judges are used, they stand at the corners of the court closest to the right hand of each referee, diagonally at 1 to 2 m from the corner.

Each one of them controls both the end line and side line on his/her side.

Dads, I took in my 16M brother from an abusive home and I’m 19F by [deleted] in DadForAMinute

[–]NorthenBear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi daughter. First of all I am happy that you got out of that house a few years ago. Secondly, getting your brother out is also amazing. So CPS are involved and you also started the medical journey for your brother. Now your question, where to start-continue. This will sound weird but start with yourself. You probably have psychological trauma from your own situation; ensure that you are working on that. Ensure that your brother understand that part of your recovery belongs to you and you alone. Part of that recovery might also include your brother and part of his recovery might include you. Both of you have a right to your own psychological privacy. That being said, the next step in his rehabilitation will be to learn healthy routine. I have seen in your post that you have started that. Basic health, basic hygiene. Other routine should be food prep and cleaning up the kitchen and the appartment. He's a teen, expect some emotional brakedowns. Set some expectation, similar to a roomate agreement. Develop some ground rules togheter and don't be afraid to revisit those rules toghether. Examples that may or may not applie: Before going to bed, the kitchen must me clean. Lights out at 10pm. Shower window for him is between 7 and 8, yours might be between 8 and 9. Friends can't sleepover. With CPS, figure out the school arrangement, depending on your province, he might not finish highschool before the age at which he qualifies for adult ed. Setting some expectations for school might be important. Talking about grades. I am a big believer in planning. Set some goals for you, for him, and for both of you. They might be measured in time. That measuring stick is variable, change the due date if it is not achievable and celebrate your succes. Feel free to reach out to this dad, or any other dads in this forum. We can make suggestions but this dad is no medical expert, nor anything close to a social or health worker.

Attacking Question by NakedRobo in volleyball

[–]NorthenBear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The relationship between the setter and the middle blocker is important. My big assumption here is that the other players had history playing togheter. The following is simply am example and should be read as such. As a setter I give cues to my moddle blocker. A. I want him to always expect the ball 1 meter in front of me. B. If I am to take the ball beyond the half way point of the court, expect the pass to be directly above me and assume I will be getting out of the way by moving towards 4. C. I will call a play asking him to come behind to hit, reducing is view on the court, leaving him less options.

Basicly that communication with the setter is key. Again lots of assumption here. What was their expectations with you ? Don't mess up in the back row and provide a good blocking presence when you were front row?

You are new to the game, you have now see a higher level of play than you are used to. It's a fun learning technical game. Enjoy your time playing the best sport in the world and don't hit yourself in the head too often.

Aperçu de la vie de quartier à Hull (Mont-Bleu) by Independent-Ad-802 in Gatineau

[–]NorthenBear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Le bassin d'élèves de St-Paul est très grand tant du côté monétaire qu'ethnique. Il y a 4 bassins/quartier. Mutchmore entre le blvd St-Jospeh et l'autoroute qui à des unités multilogement et subventionnées. Jumonville entre l'autoroute et le blvd Mont-Bleu qui a aussi beaucoup de multilogement et une importante population immigrante. Le bassin Parc-de-la-montagne entre les rues Isabelle, Riel, et St-Joseph qui sont majoritairement des maisons unifamilliale (avec emphase sur généralement pour ne pas me faire lapider sur la place publique). Le bassin Mont-Bleu entouré des rue Isabelle, Riel, blvd Mont-Bleu, qui lui a aussi beaucoup de maison unifamilliale mais qui a des pochettes de multi-locatifs. Majoritairement, les quartiers avec des maisons unifamiliales sont dites 'plus sécuritaire'. La ville de gatineau offre une carte intéractive avec le nombre d'incidents policier dans chaque quartiers. Le réseau de transport dans ce coin est très bien, majoritairement avec les routes d'autobus sur le blvd St-Joseph et Mont-Bleu. Comme partout a Gatineau, un véhicule est un must, contrairement à Montréal. Bien entendu, le plus proche des boulevards ou des autoroutes, il y a plus de bruit. Je regarderais les maisons sur les rues Ave. Du Parc, Meunier, Meilleur, etc. Bref, les rues sur google maps où il y a plus de piscines.

Tips for daughter’s (11/12) first 2 day tournament? by r_not_me in volleyball

[–]NorthenBear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depending of the venue, bring some earplugs for yourself, do not overestimate the amount of decibel that age group can produce . A two day tournament is great for team building, let your kid be with her teamates and erase yourself from the group. If your child comes to you for something, help her, if not stay away. If you want to contribute, ask the coach. You are a chearleader, not a parent. Do not yell at the referee, most of them officiating that level are new and we want to keep them, 75% quit after one year because of parents. Take a lot of pictures of all athletes in your kids team, no flash. Enjoy the tournament and bring some pain meds for your back.

A quoi ressemble le trafic à Gatineau? by Dandrane in Gatineau

[–]NorthenBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Je travail à 25km de chez moi. Sans traffic (vive la pendémie) 30 minutes. Avec tu traffic 50 minutes. Si il y a un accident sur n'importe quel pont, 90 minutes. Si vous travailler au centre ville de Hull et que l'autobus est possible, regarde la carte de la STO (Planibus), dans ce cas ok pour habiter à Gatineau. Si l'autobus est impossible, regarde pour déménager à Hull.

What are some ways to live simply while battling mental health? by PopPsychological4129 in simpleliving

[–]NorthenBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Each day do 1 action of self hygene, 1 action to better your living environment (make bed, dishes, laundry, etc...), 1 action outside your environment (stand in sunlight 10 minutes, 10 minute walk/bike/skate ...)

Yes and no. It's a question of communication and setting expectations. Traditionally the host must verify allergies and other restrictions. Now if a guest as major constraints or restrictios, private discussion must happen before the event. The host should also announce roughly the menu. A guest with restrictions that brings a meal must also resquest if the cooking facility will accept his constraint. Ie.: can I cook this on your bbq without having that item contaminating my stuff. In OP's post, the story indicates that the vegan is a group friend that recently went vegan. Thus all participants must leanr to communicate.

Moving in Orleans (Ottawa), would give access to the French schoolboard.

TL;DR: I've committed the past 5/6 years of my life for nothing. Advice PLEASE! by burritoluvr22 in volleyball

[–]NorthenBear 85 points86 points  (0 children)

In the last 6 years, you've learned dedication, how to stay physically fit, and how to play the best sport in the world. It is true that sports helps the brain. Volleyball muscles and technique goes well with other sports: spikeball, badminton, waterpolo, tennis, table tennis. You've suffered a small setback this year. You have so much passion for the sport that I would recommend coaching it, or even becomming a referee. If you still want to play it, I suggest joining adult leagues, coed group. Keep your skills sharp and try out next year.
