NETS

The net is one of the most important parts of the volleyball courts. The height for a women’s net is 7 feet 4 1/8 inches. The height for a men’s net is 7 feet 5/8 inches. While the ball is in play you cannot touch the net.  If the ball is driven into the net with such fore that it contacts an opponent that is not a fault. A player cannot spike the ball unless it is on that player’s side of the net. The only time your hand can go over the net legally is on a spike follow threw. Once the ball has hit the ground it is considered a “dead ball” and doesn’t matter if it passes over the line.

          PLAYERS

The volleyball court consists of 6 players on the court at all times. There are no more then 12 people aloud on the squad. There are only 3 hits to one side. The same hitter cannot hit the ball twice in a row. If two players hit the ball at once it is considered as one hit.  The coach come on the court  is if someone is injured or during a time out.

DOUBLE CONTACT

Double contact is when a player hits the ball more then once without anyone else on that side. If this occurs the ball goes to the other team. And the other team gets a point.

      Referees

The referees have the most power in the game. They make all the most power in the game, they make all the decisions. What they say goes. If you choose to challenge the ref. you could be thrown out of the game! The refs also decides the penalty’s.
