Referee Stands & Padded Judges Stands

Referee Stands and Padded Judges Stands for Every Level of Play

This collection carries 15 active products across four brands: Jaypro (10 items), Douglas (2), Gared (2), and First Team (1), with pricing from $127 to $4,549. Jaypro is the deepest line here, spanning folding and adjustable volleyball referee stands, a beach volleyball referee stand, protector pads, scorer tables, and custom side banners. Douglas and Gared round out the lineup with umpire chairs, score posts, and space-saving collapsible stand designs, giving buyers a real choice between fixed, folding, and adjustable configurations depending on how often the stand needs to move or be stored.

Volleyball Referee Stands: Folding, Adjustable, and Beach Options

For indoor volleyball programs, the Jaypro Volleyball Referee Stand - Folding (250 lb. capacity) and the Jaypro Volleyball Referee Stand - Adjustable (225 lb. capacity) both let a facility break down or reconfigure the stand between practices and matches. For higher weight capacity or competitive club and school use, the Jaypro "Mega Ref" Volleyball Referee Stand carries a 300 lb. rating, making it the heaviest-duty option in the catalog. Beach programs are covered by the Jaypro Beach Volleyball Referee Stand, built specifically for beach volleyball systems rather than hardwood or gym flooring.

Gared offers two adjustable options: the Gared Sports Volleyball Collapsible Referee Stand 6448, designed to fold flat for storage between seasons, and the Gared Sports Volleyball Referee Stand 6446, a sturdier fixed-adjustable model for programs that keep a stand courtside full-time. The First Team SturdiStand Folding Judges Volleyball Stand adds another folding option for club, school, or rec-league gyms that need to set up and tear down quickly around other court activities.

Padded Protector Pads for Referee Stands and Volleyball Uprights

Padding matters both for player safety near the stand and for compliance with competitive play rules. The Jaypro Protector Pad fits the VRS-8000 and VRS-6000 referee stands, while the Jaypro VRS-30P Protector Pad is sized specifically for the VRS-3000 stand — so it's worth matching the pad to the exact stand model already on hand rather than assuming universal fit. Separately, the Jaypro Protector Pad for Volleyball Upright Pads is designed for all volleyball uprights and is meant for competition play, covering the net posts themselves rather than the referee stand structure.

Umpire Chairs, Score Posts, and Scorer Tables

Beyond volleyball referee stands, this collection includes the Douglas Classic Umpire Chair and Douglas Score Post for tennis and other court-side officiating needs. For scorekeeping and bench seating at outdoor events, Jaypro offers a 7-1/2 ft. Outdoor Scorer Table with Bench in both a standard finish and a powder-coated version — the powder coating is the main differentiator between the two listings, useful for programs that leave equipment outdoors between uses. Facilities that want to brand their referee stands can also add Jaypro Customized Graphics Side Banners, which attach to existing stands rather than being sold as a standalone structure.

Choosing the Right Stand for Your Facility

Start with weight capacity: the Jaypro lineup alone ranges from 225 lb. (Adjustable) to 250 lb. (Folding) to 300 lb. (Mega Ref), so match the rating to who will actually be sitting or standing on the platform during matches. Next, decide how often the stand needs to move — folding and collapsible models like the Jaypro Folding stand, Gared 6448, and First Team SturdiStand are built for storage and transport, while the Gared 6446 and Mega Ref suit programs that keep a stand courtside for the full season. Finally, budget accordingly: protector pads and score posts sit at the lower end of the $127-$4,549 range, while full referee stand systems and scorer tables with benches represent the larger facility investments in this collection.
