• Do not allow the ball to sink toward your face or get low toward your chest after contact has been made
• Doubles are not allowed
• A double is when there is a double contact on the ball and it over rotates after a player hand sets it
• If the ball is intentionally set into the opponents side of the court, the player must direct the ball perpendicular to the direction his/her shoulders are facing (be square)
• A player may not touch the ball 2 consecutive times unless directly after an opposing team member blocks their original touch
• A block does not count as a touch

• If the ball touches the antenna or the net outside of the antenna, it is considered out
• When the ball is returned, it must stay between the ends of the net (antennas)
• NO Net Touches Allowed
• Teams must alternate servers. The two players on the court must serve in order
• Teams will change servers after they have scored on an opponent’s serve
• Interfering with players under the net is not allowed. If you land under the net without interfering with another player it is okay
• In Co-Ed Doubles, the male may not intentionally serve the female more than one time in a set*
• If he serves her a second time, the point will be replayed
• If he serves her three or more times, the point(s) will be awarded to his opposing team
• The opposing team may not intentionally place themselves on the court as to cause this fault
• Throughout the course of the match should any disagreements regarding a play arise, teams will agree to replay the point. If you can’t settle a dispute quickly, REPLAY. If I am involved I will make a final decision.
