Rules of the Game
- Object of the Game – Volleyball is a game in which players from opposing teams volley (hit) the ball back and forth over a mid-court net. The players on each team try to volley the ball to the floor of their opponent’s court.
- When serving one can stand anywhere behind the service line.
- The serve comes from the “Right Back” position.
- Each team gets three hits to get the ball across the net.
- The desired hitting sequence to get the ball over the net is: pass (bump), set, hit (spike).
- A volleyball match is the best of 5 games (a team must beat their opponent 3 out of 5 games).
- Games are played to 25 points. You must win by at least 2 points
- If a match goes to a 5th and deciding game, the game is played up to 15 points (win by 2).
- In matches played with “Rally Scoring” (the way we play in class) a point is scored on every dead ball.
- If the receiving team wins the rally they are rewarded a point and the serve.
- There are 6 players allowed on the court at one time (for one team).
- Their positions are: Right Back, Center Back, Left Back, Right Forward, Center Forward, Left Forward
- When the ball is dead and needs to be given to your opponent, you must roll the ball underneath the net to the opposing team.
- If the ball lands inside the lines or directly on the lines the ball is ruled inbounds. If the ball lands outside the lines it is ruled out of bounds.
- An “ace” is when the serving team serves the ball and the ball falls to the floor on the opposing team’s side of the court.
- The “let serve” is a ball that when served hits the net without touching the net antenna and continues across the net into the opposing team’s court. The “let serve” is a playable, live ball.
- No player may hit the ball twice in a row, unless the first touch was made in blocking an opponent’s volley.
- The ball can be legally hit with:
- Closed first – underhand hit only
- Open palm – underhand hit on serve only and overhand hits
- Forearm/wrist – underhand “bumping” movement
- Fingertips – overhand “setting” movement
- It is illegal to hit the volleyball with:
- Underhand open palm (other than the serve) – “catch”

Physical Education Class Rules:
- It is the serving team’s responsibility to announce the score before their serve. Failure to do so will result in: Loss of serve and a point will be rewarded to the opposing team.
- Team captains are solely responsible for making point and foul calls. Infractions of this will result in a loss of serve and a point will be rewarded to the opponent. If you cannot agree on a disputed call. Then “redo” the serve on the original volley.
- Team captains should call technical fouls for unsportsmanlike conduct by team players. The penalty for a technical foul call is a point award, plus the serve.
