 Rules...
|
We have few rules, but the few we have we stand
by strongly. |
| 1. |
You must be 18 years or older |
| 2. |
We do not accept beginners. We cater mainly to
intermediate players. |
| 3. |
No profanity, arguing, lewd, or violent behavior. If there is ever a
disagreement in play, the point is to be played over. |
| 4. |
The second hit is always the setters call. If the setter does not
ask for help, you must make way for the setter.
If a teammate does not believe that they can move out of the way
in time, they should call off the setter early and loud. |
| 5. |
You may cross the
centerline, provided you do not interfere with the opponents
play. |
| 6. |
Kicking the ball is
now acceptable. |
| 7. |
A net serve is a valid
serve except in the case of doubles in which case it is a
side-out. |
| 7. |
Play stops immediately if "ball on" is
called. "Ball on" should be called if it is
believed any object may come on to the court. |
| 8. |
The score must be called prior to the serve or the ball is to be caught
and reserved. |
| 9. |
Individuals are to call their own mishandles, nets or
fouls, but should consider opinions of the other players. If
a serve is recieved with 2 open hands, and the ball does not go
"forward", it is a mishandle. |
| 10. |
Members play at their own risk, and everyone should work together to
ensure safety is of the utmost concern. |
| 11. |
All players must help
setup nets. |
| 12. |
Everyone plays. If all nets are full,
players are to setup another net. If all nets are setup, rotate in
at server's position. |
| 13. |
Teams are to rotate
sides every 5 points if 50% or more request. |
| 14. |
Once a ball is thrown up to serve, the server must
hit the ball over the net or it is a side-out. You cannot
catch ball and reserve. |
| 15. |
If possible, 2 nets should be set up before play
begins. The first net may stay at 4 people provided there are
at least 6 players for the second net. |
| 16. |
Everyone plays. However, if one team has 10 or
more points, you must wait until the game is over to join the net. |
With the noted exceptions above, we generally
follow rules set forth by usavolleyball.org
outdoor rules, noting particularly the following frequently discussed
issues:
15.2.1 Players may cross the center line
provided it does not interfere with the opponents play.
15.3.1 It is a fault for a player or
player's clothes to come in contact with the net
15.1.2 You may attack the ball and
extend your hands beyond the net provided your first contact is made on
your side of the net.
15.1.1 While BLOCKING, you may touch the ball
beyond the net, provided you do so AFTER the opponents contact the ball.
16.7 At the opponents request, The server's
teammates must move in order that the opponents are not screened out of
seeing the serve.
