During volleyball season in the Puget Sound region, Rocky Zlock’s schedule tends to be full with matches five days per week. 

Born May 21, 1965, in Tacoma, Zlock played volleyball, basketball, and fastpitch at Spanaway Lake High School before graduating in 1984. She played one year of volleyball at Pierce College. 

While Zlock spent some time coaching volleyball (Power Surge VB club, 2002-2008) and ran her own ACES VB club for five years, she began her officiating career in 2011 and has not looked back. She typically referees high school matches and works as a line judge at the collegiate level, covering all of the local leagues: SPSL, NPSL, Nisqually, PSL, Seatac, South Sound Conference, GNAC, NAIA, and NCAA Div. III.
