REVIEW OF BASIC VOLLEYBALL RULES

• Serving - Once ready for play (whistled for service) two tosses are allowed per serve but you have 10 seconds to serve the ball. Ball must be released from hand before contact is made. Ball must be served by striking with your hand/arm. Play continues until a whistle is blown for a violation (e.g., carry or player touching the net) or the ball hits the floor. If the serve hits the net and goes over it is a live ball
• Double contacts (two people hitting ball simultaneously) are allowed on the first ball over the net as long as it is one attempt to play the ball. It doesn’t matter if the other team served, spiked, bumped, or set the ball over the net). Double contacts are not allowed on team’s 2nd or 3rd contact
