Volleyball Rules & Regulations
Volleyball is an exciting, fast paced sport in which two teams (separated by an elevated net) compete
to down the ball on the opponent’s side of the court
...
Though the rules governing most levels of volleyball are very similar, each official body has their
own specific set of rules and regulations
...
For more specific information
regarding the particular rules of each governing body, please see the links at the bottom of the page
...
That being said, here is an outline of fundamental rules of the game:
Don’t Let the Ball Hit the Floor on Your Side of the Net
The primary objective in volleyball is make the ball hit the floor on the opponent’s side of the court,
while simultaneously preventing it from dropping on your side
...

Three Contacts/Hits per Side
Each team is allowed a maximum of three contacts before it must send the ball back over the net
...

Teams are also permitted to block the ball as it comes over the net
...
In theory, this means that a team could technically contact
the ball four times (with the first contact being a block) without penalty
...
There
are three front row positions (left front, middle front, and right front) and three back row positions (left
back, middle back, and right back)
...

No Player Can Hit the Ball Twice in Succession
The rules state that no player is allowed to hit the ball multiple times in row
...
However, the double becomes illegal if a player makes two separate
attempts to hit the ball
...

the guide on ball handing
...
Players are not allowed to carry, palm or throw the
ball
...

Game Play
Like tennis, volleyball matches are broken up into individual sets (also called games); a team must
win a majority of the games in the series in order to win the match
...
Before the start of a match, the referee will conduct a captain’s meeting
and a coin toss
...
The privilege of the “first serve” will then alternate between teams in subsequent games
...
For example, if the score is tied at 24-24 and team “A” scores point 25, the game is not yet
done because neither team has gained a two point advantage
...
The court is divided into two
equal parts by a center line and a net
...
43 m for men and 2
...

court dimensions guide on Isport
...
A team does not need to be serving to
score points
...

Some common scoring tactic include: Setting up hits to aim at the weaker players on the team; aiming
for vacant areas on the court; or spiking the ball close-in to the opponent''''s side of the net
...

Substitutions
There are a set number of substitutions allotted per game (the specific amount differs according to
league and/or level of play)
...
To
enter the game, a coach or player must request a substitution from the official, after which the
substitute must enter the substitution zone and wait for the referee’s approval
...
While it is natural to have a greater inclination towards certain skills and not others, a player
should have a general grasp of all the basic skills
...

Serving
The serve initiates play
...

To complete a legal serve, and thus begin the rally, the server must contact the ball behind the end
line and between the sidelines
...
Once the server makes contact, he/she can then continue past the end line and onto the
main court
...
If the server misses the
serve and the ball does not go over the net, a sideout is called and a point is awarded to the other
team
...
There are two popular
forms of this skill: the forearm pass and the overhand pass
...
When executing an overhand pass, the player users the hands to direct
the ball
...
Because it is illegal to
catch, palm, or throw the ball, the passer receiving a hard driven ball must be sure to keep contact
brief and precise
...
The overhand technique –contacting the ball above the head with
two hands simultaneously—is the most common method of setting
...

Blocking
A block is an attempt to halt an opponent’s attack by jumping with the hands overhead to create a
barrier at the net
...
Good technique can help
prevent mishaps, but sometimes, net violations are inevitable
...
Because an attacker’s goal is to
down the ball on the other team’s side of the court, players often jump when striking the ball to
increase the difficulty of receiving the hit
...


Volleyball Officials and Their Duties

Overview
As in most sporting competitions, volleyball employs referees in order to control the flow of the game and
enforce the rules
...
Without the referee team, the fast-paced game could easily get out of hand if disputes regarding
rules were to arise
...
Before the game begins the scorer
notes the starting lineup of each team and notifies the referees if the lineup wasn't received on time
...
Additionally, when a substitution request arises, the scorer notifies the referees
...
The line judges stand at the corners of the
court watching the lines to indicate whether a ball in play falls in or out of the court
...
When a player touches an out-of-play ball or if the ball hits an antenna, the designated line judge also
indicates the interference
...
Whatever issues arise
during the game, the first referee determines the call and the has the final say
...

Before the match begins, the first referee inspects the equipment and the players' uniforms
...

Throughout the match, the first referee makes calls regarding faults and scoring issues
...

Second Referee
The second referee works to assist the first referee throughout the game
...

The second referee stands next to the post opposite the first referee
