Basic Volleyball Rules
Scoring:
Games are usually played to 11 or 15 points and should be determined before play begins.
Court switches or exchanging courts occur at specifi ed times during the game. In a 15-
point game, courts are exchanged each time the total number of scored points is a multiple
of 5. In an 11-point game, teams exchange playing courts each time the total number of
scored points is a multiple of 4.
Rally Point Scoring: In rally point scoring, either the serving or receiving side scores a
point whenever a team fails to serve properly, return the ball, or commits any other fault.
Ball Play:
• Ball in: The ball is "in" when, after being put in play, its fi rst contact with the ground is
on the playing court or a boundary line.
• Ball out: The ball is out when after being put in play, its fi rst contact with the ground is
completely outside the playing court.
- It touches an object outside the court, an overhead object or a person out of play.
- It touches the antennas, ropes, posts or the net outside the antenna.
Team Contacts:
• Each team is entitled to a maximum of three contacts to return the ball to the opponents.
• A player may not contact the ball consecutively, except during or after a block or at a
team's fi rst contact.
Contact Characteristics:
• A player may touch the ball with any part of the body.
• The ball must be contacted cleanly and not held, lifted, pushed, caught, carried or
thrown.
• The ball cannot roll or come to rest on any part of a player's body.
• An exception is allowed during the defensive play of a hard driven ball (an attack hit or a
blocked ball traveling at a high rate of speed). At this time, the ball may be momentarily
lifted or pushed.
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 playing space of the opponents.
Block:
• Blocking is an action that defl ects the ball coming from the opponent by a player and/or
players at the net.
• For doubles and triples, blocking does constitute as a contact and any player may make
contact of the ball after the block.
• For four-person and six-person play, blocking does not constitute a team contact. Any
player may make the fi rst contact of 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 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.
• Player/Net: It is a fault for the 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.
