Scoring All matches will be best of three to 25 points using rally scoring. If a third set is required it will be played to 15 points and teams will change sides after one team scores 8 points. There will be a 30 point cap so if neither team has gained a two point advantage after 25 the first team to 30 is declared the winner. Court & dimensions The courts will be 9 meters by 18 meters. The net for men will be 2.43m and women 2.24m. The indoor courts do not have the required distance outside the end lines therefore the server may step over the end line up to the yellow line to serve. Equipment A players jersey must be uniform for the team (except for the Libero which should be of a contrasting color) and should be numbered on the front (min 15 cm) and back (min 20 cm) Ball We will be using composite leather Molton L2 on the indoor courts and a synthetic leather Star XQ Professional on the outdoor courts.

No second toss is allowed. Block A block in contact made by the defence above the plane of the net and does not count as a team hit. A blocker may touch the ball beyond the net provided that he/she does not interfere with the opponents play before or during the latters attack hit. A player interferes with the opponents play by (amongst others) touching the top band of the net or the top 80 cm of the antenna during his/her action of playing the ball Penetration under the net is allowed provided that it does not interfere with the opponents play.
