Game Rules

Ball

Standard Volleyball

Court Size

Recommended court size is 59' x 29'.

Net

Men: 8'. Women: 7' 4". Quickly adjust the net height and you are ready to spike.

Players

Each team may consist of any agreed upon number of players. However, too many players may get in each other's way and result in injuries.

Service

Volley

The ball may be volleyed up to three times before it must go over the net. No player may hit the ball twice in succession. One or two hands may be used.

Rotation

After a team wins the service, players rotate one position clockwise before serving.

Scoring

Scoring occurs on every play, regardless of team serving.

Game

First team to score 21 points (tie must be broken with two point difference).

  • Holding or throwing the ball.
  • If ball touches any part of the body except hands or forearms.
