Volleyball Rules

• Maximum of Three Contacts: Each team is allowed a maximum of three successive contacts of the ball in order to return the ball to the opponent’s area. Exception: a block is not considered to be one of the three contacts. • Contacted Ball: A player who contacts the ball shall be considered as playing the ball. • Contact of the Ball with the Body: The ball may be hit with any part of the body on or above the waist, but cannot come to rest visibly on the body. If the ball hits below the waist, it shall become dead. • Illegal Hit: An illegal hit occurs when the ball visibly comes to rest or has prolonged contact with a player. This is a judgment call by the official and cannot be questioned by anyone. Holding, catching, throwing, lifting, rolling, and pushing are illegal hits because of prolonged contact with the ball. • Double Hit: A double hit occurs when a player illegally contacts the ball twice in succession or the ball rebounds from one part of the body to another on a single attempt to play the ball. Exception: A hard driven spike. • Simultaneous Contact by the Opponents: If the ball is simultaneously contacted by two opponents, then the team on whose side the ball falls into shall have the right to play the ball three times. Also, if the ball is held simultaneously, by two opposing players, it is a double fault and the official will direct a replay. • Net Play: A ball contacting and crossing the net shall remain in play provided contact is entirely within the playing area. Exception: A service hitting and not clearing the net results in a dead ball and sideout. • Net Foul: A net foul occurs while the ball is in play and a player contacts any part of the net (including the cable attachments). It is not a foul when a player’s hair touches the net or the force of the ball hit by an opponent pushes the net or net cables into the player. Also a net foul occurs when there is interference by a player who makes contact with an opponent who is making a legitimate effort to play the ball. • Screening: A screen is an intentional act, which obstructs the receiving players’ view of the server or flight of the ball from the server. Screening includes the server being hidden behind a group of two or more teammates who are standing in position and the ball is being served over a member of the group. A screen also includes a player with hands extended clearly above the height of the head or with arms extended sideways at the moment of service if the serve passes over the player(s). • Blocking the Ball: A ball which is entirely on the opponent’s side of the net is permitted to be blocked when the opposing team has had an opportunity to complete its attack. (The serve may not be blocked). The attack is considered complete when the attacking team has completed their three hits, the attacking team has had the opportunity to spike the ball or no member of the attacking team is making an attempt to play the ball. • Front Line Players: Front line players may contact the ball from any position inside or outside the court (except crossing the center line and its out-of bounds extension). A player may cross the center line or its out-of-bounds extension with one or both feet/hands, provided a part of the foot/feet or hand/hands remains on or above the center. Contacting the floor across the center line with any other part of the body is illegal.
