VOLLEYBALL GAME RULES ( continued)
Attack Hit:
All actions directing the ball toward the opponent’s playing area, except the acts
of serving and blocking, are attack hits.
You cannot contact the ball within the opponent’s playing space.
Block:
Blocking is an action at the net where a player and/or players rise up and deflect
the ball coming from the opponent.
For doubles and triples, blocking does constitute as a contact and any player
may make contact with the ball after a block.
For four (4) person and six (6) person play blocking does not constitute a team
contact. Any player may make the first contact with the ball after the block.
Simultaneous Contact:
When two blocking teammates touch the ball simultaneously it is considered
one contact and any player may make the next contact.
Faults:
Assisted hit: A player takes support from a teammate or any object in order
to reach the ball.
Double contact: A player contacts the ball twice in succession or the ball contacts
various parts of the player’s body successively.
Held ball: A player does not cleanly contact the ball. Also occurs when two
players hold the ball at the same time above the net during a blocking maneuver.
The point is replayed in this instance.
Player/Net: It is a fault for a player or their clothing to touch any part of the net.
Reaching beyond the net while blocking: A player may touch the ball beyond
the net provided the player does not interfere with the opponent’s play before
or during the attack-hit.
Player may cross the center line either before, during, or after legal play of the
ball provided this does not interfere with the opponent’s play.
While opposing players are not required to avoid the ball or the player, they
cannot intentionally interfere with any legal attempt to play the ball on their court.
