There are six players on a team, three on the front row and three on the back row.

There is a maximum of three hits per side.

The player may not hit the ball twice in succession. (A block is not considered a hit.)

The ball may be played off the net during a volley and on a serve.

A ball hitting a boundary line is “in”.

A ball is “out” if it hits an antennae, the floor completely outside the court, any of the net or cables outside the antennae, the referee stand or pole, or the ceiling above a nonplayable area.

It is legal to contact the ball with any part of a players body.

It is illegal to catch, hold, or throw the ball.

If two or more players contact the ball at the same time, it is considered one play and either player involved may make the next contact. (Provided the next contact isn’t the teams fourth hit.)

A player can not block or attack a serve from on or inside the ten foot line.

After the serve, the front row players may switch positions at the net.

At higher competition, the officiating crew may be made up of two refs, line judges, scorer, and an assistant scorer.
