Rules

• Teams are responsible for refereeing themselves.  Please be honest.
• Service may take place anywhere along the end line between the extension of the court sidelines.
• Teammates must alternate the serve each time their team earns a sideout. It is the responsibility of the players to know whose turn it is to serve.
• The ball may be contacted no more than three times in succession by a team.
• The block counts as a contact.
• A blocker who made the first team contact while blocking can then make the second team contact, after which only one more contact is allowed.
• The ball must cross over the net between the antennae to remain in play.
• While crossing the net, the ball may touch the net, even during the service action.
• A player may not contact the net with any part of his/her body or clothing.
• Incidental contact of hair is not a fault.
• It is not a fault when the force of an opponent’s contact of the ball hitting the net causes a player to contact the net.
• It is not a fault when a player has incidental contact with posts, support cables, or referee stands.
• A player may cross under the vertical plane of the net to play the ball if he/she does not interfere with the opponents’ ability to play the ball.  Interference results in a point for the opposing team.  No player may interfere with an opponents’ play.
• Multiple contacts with the ball are allowed on the first contact if they occur during one attempt to play the ball.
• The ball may be contacted with any part of the body; however, service must take place with the hand or arm.

• No open hand tipping.
• Setting:
  • The ball must be contacted simultaneously by both hands and it is not allowed to come to rest.  Spin is not an indicator of a fault.
  • A ball does not need to travel in the same direction as the setter is facing; however, the setter cannot hold or carry the ball to change the direction of the set.
  • When the ball is intentionally set over the net (forward or backward), the player’s shoulders must be square/perpendicular to the line of flight.
