Summary/Abstract: Through this paper, we intend to create a precise image of the particularities of volleyball referees in Bucharest. The present research highlights the personal indicators, social profiles and sports history of 45 out of the 60 certified referees in Bucharest. The tasks of the research were: creating a questionnaire survey, distributing the questionnaire and collecting the responses, processing, analysing and interpreting the data and processing the responses. The synthesised conclusion has revealed the following: 71% of referees are male; their age ranges between 18 and 66 years; their most common occupations are: student (27%), teacher (22%), economist (18%); regarding their level of education, 49% have a bachelor’s degree, 24% - a master’s degree, and 2% - a doctor’s degree; their favourite spare time activities are related to sport, and 67% of them mention volleyball as their preferred leisure activity; they commonly started their sports activity when they were between 6 and 12 years old and generally stopped it when they were between 16 and 20 years old as a result of having less free time; most of them are registered in school sports clubs and only 5% have not signed up for a regular championship; most of them had their first match as referees very soon after graduating from the referee school; 62% of the investigated group have an experience of over 100 refereed matches, and 27% have at least one experience as international referees.
