This article, in combination with the characteristics of the referee's work in volleyball competitions and with reference to numerous examples of gesture exercise choreography, has created a set of 20 volleyball referee gestures exercises in accordance with the principles and patterns of radio calisthenics arrangement. The exercises have been promoted and applied in the volleyball specialized and general courses of nearly 30 classes across 10 grades at the School of Physical Education, Xinjiang Normal University, and have been improved based on feedback. Practice has proven that this set of volleyball referee gesture exercises is easy to learn, well-designed, interesting, and easy to promote. It has a positive effect and good results in helping students master the basic gestures of volleyball referees, the coordination of gestures and whistle sounds, and on-the-spot refereeing.
