A. GENERAL

1. Teams are comprised of 6 players on the court, with a minimum of 2 female players on the floor at all times. At minimum, a team must field at least 4 players. If 2 female players are not present, the team will automatically forfeit the game. 
2. Each volleyball round is scheduled for 60 minutes overall with 6:00pm, 7:00pm, 8:00pm and 9:00pm start times. 
3. Team captains and players are required to self-officiate and call their own fouls.
4. Games are best of 5 (first to 3 wins). You will only report the number of wins. 

B. GAME PLAY

1. You have the option to rally for service. Minimum of 3 hits to start. 
2. Players must rotate positions as well as serve with each side-out.
3. Substitutions can only be made in the back middle position following each rotation. Teams are only allowed to substitute one player at a time, with the exception of an injury. 
4. All balls must be hit cleanly — this means players may not scoop, hold, or carry the ball.
5. If a player blocks an attacking ball and the ball comes onto their own team’s side, the block does not count as a hit towards the three-hit limit. Blocks on an attacking ball may be a double hit, only for the player who makes the initial block.
6. A ball that lands on or touches the indicated sidelines of the court will be considered in play. A ball that lands outside the lines or into another court, or contacts any object not in the field of play (such as wall, ceiling, spectator, etc.), is considered out.
7. The ball can hit any part of the body.
8. When the ball crosses over the net, it must be between the sidelines or else it will be considered out of play.

C. RULES / INFRACTIONS

1. Players cannot touch the net with any part of the body while the ball is in play. If the ball is driven into the net with such force that it causes the net to contact an opposing player, no infraction will be called, and the ball will remain in play. 
2. If a back-row player is in front of the attack line and plays the ball over the net, they must contact the ball below the height of the net.
3. A served ball may not be blocked or attacked directly back over the net.
4. Male players may not block a female player on an attacking hit. This includes an attempted block — or as an act of intimidation — which is defined as a player jumping with one or both hands extended beyond the top of the volleyball net.
5. Male players may not smash/spike the ball on an attacking hit unless they jump from behind the Attack Line.
6. Players may not interfere with the other team or hinder play on the other side of the court, such as making contact under the net. Players are allowed to step under the net as long as it does not affect play or make contact with the opposing player.
7. When serving a ball, a player may not touch the lines or inside the court before making the last contact with the ball.
