Volleyball Rules

Variations of the game volleyball have been in circulation since around 1895. The game has evolved since then and it was in
1964 where the sport entered its first Olympic games. The sport now has a global following with nations from around the
world professionally competing. The pinnacle of the sport comes in the Olympic Games were the best players are often on
show.

Object of the Game

The object of volleyball is to hit the volleyball over the net (by only using your hands) running through the centre of the court
whilst trying to get it to bounce in your opponent’s half. The opposing team have to try and prevent the ball from bouncing
before returning the ball. Games are played out in best of 3 or 5 sets and the team with most sets at the end of the game wins.

Players & Equipment

Each team has 6 players on a court at any one time. Substitutes can be used throughout the game. There are no professional
mixed sex teams. Each player takes up a position in either the attacking zone (next to the net) or the defensive zone (at the
back of the court). Three players are in each zone and rotate in a clockwise position after every point.

The court is of a rectangular shape and measures 18m x 9m. Running across the court is a 2.43m high net with the ball
measuring 8 inches in diameter and weighing between 9 and 10 ounces. Around the outlines of the court is an out of bounds
area and if the ball were to bounce in these sections then a point would be awarded to the opposing team.

Each team gets up to two timeouts per set of 30 seconds each. After each set the number of timeouts resets back to two
regardless of how many have been used previously.

Scoring

To score a point the ball must hit the ground within the outlined section in your opponent’s half. You can also score a point
by your opponent failing to hit the outlined section within your half or your opponent hitting the ball into the net. A point can
be scored off either teams serve.

A player serving must do so from behind the base line and can use either an over or underarm action and hit with only the
hand. Once the serve has been made the sever can join their team in-play and battle out the point.

Each team is allowed to hit the ball three times before the ball must be returned. A player is not allowed to hit the ball twice
in succession. If the ball hits the boundary line then the ball is deemed to be in-play. The defensive team can jump and try to
block the ball returning to their side of the court. If a block attempt is made and the ball bounces in their opponent’s half then
a point is awarded. If after the block the ball bounces out then a point is awarded to the opposing team.

Each game is played to 25 points and must be two points clear. If the scores reach 24-24 then the game is played until one
team leads by two points.
Winning the Game

To win the game you must score 25 points first before your opponent. The best of 3 or 5 sets are generally played and the
winners will be the first team to reach the required number of sets.

Rules of Volleyball

 Each team consists of 6 players and 6 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.
o Players cannot reach over the net and hit the ball.

Volleyball Referee Signals

Hand sequence and techniques

Ball Not Released 

This signal is for when the ball isn't released from the hand at the moment of service contact or if the server doesn't execute
the service properly. 

The motion starts at the thigh and there is less bend at the elbow. 

Extend the arm with the palm up. Start at the thigh and end at the waist. 

Avoid making the signal look like the catch signal. 

Delay in Service 

When the server doesn't contact the ball within 8 seconds, raise both arms above your head. Use five digits on the right hand,
and thumb and the first fingers on the left hand. Always use the same digits on each hand no matter which side the fault
occurred. 

For 14 and under, use one-handed signal for a five second delay. 

Net Fault

Situations where you would call a net fault.

1. The served ball doesn't cross the net.

2. A player touches the net and interferes with play, including deflection of the opponent’s ball in the body of the net.

You signal by touching the top of the net, palm facing the net with the hand on the side of the team that committed the fault. 

As a second referee, you don't repeat the signal for a ball that doesn't cross the net on the serve. 

For a net fault as a second referee, you aren't required to touch the net, net cable, or post. An air net is preferred. This will
save time and extra effort required to move forward. 

Second referee is required to step to the side of the net of the team that committed the net fault. This is true of any fault. 

Remember, the first referee doesn't make air net hand signals. For a net fault, indicate the player with an open hand and not
the finger. You only indicate the player when you whistle the fault, not when the second referee whistles the net fault. 

Volleyball Referee Signals for "Replay"

Anytime a rally must be replayed, signal a replay by holding two fists above the shoulders with thumbs up. 

A rally may be replayed if an object or ball comes on the court during play and causes a safety concern or causes interference
or when both teams commit a fault at the same instance. 

Blocking Fault and Screening 

The same signal is used for illegal blocking and screening. 

Extend both arms vertically with the palms facing forward. 

When showing this signal, it may be necessary to show the player or players at fault. 

"Position Fault" Volleyball Referee Signals

The signal for a position fault or rotation fault is held at waist height. 

Make a clockwise circular motion with the index finger pointed towards the floor. 

Make the circular motion no more than twice. 

After the signal, indicate the players at fault. 

You need to indicate what players in order to prevent a subsequent occurrence on the next whistle of service. 

Reaching Beyond the Net 

When a player reaches illegally beyond the net contacting the ball or the opponent, show the reaching beyond the net signal. 

Place the forearm across the net without touching the net or net cable. The palm should be down and perpendicular to the
net. 

After showing the signal, indicate the player at fault. 

"Attack Hit" Volleyball Referee Signals 

When a player attacks the ball illegally, extend the arm straight up above the shoulder with hand open. Bend at the elbow and
make a downward motion toward the opposing team. 

The downward motion ends at just above eye level as to not block your vision of the court. 

After the signal, indicate the player at fault.

Four Hits

If a team contacts the ball more than 3 times without sending it back over the net, and the 3 and 4 contacts aren't made by the
same player, then signal 4 hits. 

Signal by extending the arm with 4 fingers. This should be slightly to the side and above the head. 

Remember, if the same player makes the 3rd and 4th contact, the signal is 2 hits.
