Volleyball Rules for P.E. Tournament

1.

Always the say the score before serving your score then the opponents score.

2.

Points may only be scored when you are serving

3.

The server must be behind the line and may use an overhand or underhand

serve. The ball may NOT hit anything on the serve. The ball MAY hit the net during
play.
4.

Any obstacle over the court is out of bounds. If the ball hits the standards holding

the net it is out of play.

5.

If the ball lands on any part of the boundary line it is in.

6.

The ball must be hit a minimum of 2 times and may be hit up to three (3) times by

one team before going over the net. We encourage BUMP-SET. One person may NOT
hit the ball twice in a row but may it again if someone else has hit it in between. The
ball MAY be played out of bounds as long as it passes over the net between the poles. If
two (2) people hit the ball at the exact same time it counts as one hit and wither play
MAY play it again on the next hit. Any player involved in a block may it again as the
first of that teams three (3) hits allowed (A block is not considered a hit!).

7.

NO player is allowed to touch the net at any time. No player may cross the center

line under the net at any time.

8.

Using any part of the body ABOVE AND INCLUDING THE WAIST is considered a

legal hit. NO KICKING the ball!

9.

Any team that is NOT rotating properly will forfeit the game.

10.

If the ball is touched before it hits the ground it is in play.

11.

Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan at the YMCA in Holyoke,

Mass.
12.

There are six (6) people on a legal volleyball team. In our tournament, a

maximum of nine players are allowed on the court at one time. Any team with more
than nine players should rotate substitute players as part of the rotation.
13.

Teams rotate in a Z-pattern

14.

Games end on the whistle. Any point currently being played when the whistle

blows is null and void. The game reverts back to the score of the game when that point
was being served.
15.

In the event of a tie, the captains will rock/paper/scissor for serve. Each team gets

one chance to win the game on their serve. If a game reaches a third sudden-victory
serve, whoever wins that point wins the game.
