Rules for Volleyball

• Each team consist of 4 players and 2 substitutes. Players can be substituted at any time but if they are to return can only be swapped for the player that replaced them.

• Each team can hit the ball up to three times before the ball must be returned. The defensive team can then try and block or return the ball again hitting it a maximum of three times.

• Games are played up to 25 points and must be won by 2 clear points.

• Violations will be called for the following:

o Stepping over the base line when serving the ball.

o Ball hits the net and fails to get over the net (If the ball hits the net and still goes over the net then this is perfectly legal).

o Players are not allowed to carry, palm or run with the ball.

o Players must not touch the net with any part of the body. If the net is said to have hit them rather than vice-versa, then this is ok.

o The ball cannot travel under the net.
