UD Specific RulesJewelry Check - “If you weren’t born with it, it’s jewelry.” - Failure to comply results in an ejection - Medical bracelets are acceptable if it is taped prior to game, it is allowed.

• Rally Scoring• If any part of the ball touches the end or sidelines, it

is considered “in”.• Players CANNOT touch the top tape of the net• Players CANNOT touch the net with the intent of

interfering with play.• Players CAN play the ball off of the net.

Co-ed Specific Rules• PLAYERS: The team shall be comprised of two (2)

males and two (2) females. A team may play unbalanced; however at no time may more than half of the players on the court be male.

• MALE RESTRICTIONS: In Coed leagues no male can spike the ball at the net. Males are able to tip assuming the tip has an arc. There are no restrictions on blocking.

Rotations and Substitutions• Clockwise

• One position prior to each successive round of serving

• When substituting, must enter at the serving position and exit at the front right position

Rule Clarifications/Points of Emphasis• Player may only hit the ball on their side of the

net

• No serve may be blocked

• Lift

• Ball may only be contacted once during an attempt to play a ball

• Lines are in

• Crossing the center line

Rule Exceptions

• Any ball contacted at or bellow the waist is an “illegal” hit

• The “pursuit rule” will NOT be in affect

• A player will be allowed one re-serve per round of service

Player Position

• Before the ball is served, each player must be in their designated area, and in proper rotation. Once the serve has been contacted, the players may change their line position. A back row player shall not participate in a block or attack a ball which is completely above the net while positioned on or in front of the 10 foot line.

Serving• SERVING AREA: The serving area is the located behind the back

boundary line and is six feet in depth. The player must contact the ball within the extensions of the sideline while serving.

 • THE SERVE: THE SERVING SIDE:

– Must throw or release the ball from the hand or hands before it is hit. – May not hit the ball directly off the holding hand. – May not hit the ball with both hands. – May not step on the back line or inside the court until the ball is hit. – May hit the net on the serve. Let serves are permitted – No re-serves are permitted.

 • The receiving side:

– May not block a serve – May not attack a serve while ball is above the plane of the net

Hits• THREE CONTACTS BY TEAM: The ball

may be contacted a total of three times by a team in order to return the ball to the opponents area. If a teammate receives a ball that was blocked or partially blocked, the team still has all three hits to return the ball to the opponent’s side.

• NET PLAY: A ball other than the serve may be recovered from the net provided the player avoids touching the net.

Hits• DOUBLE CONTACT: A player contacting the ball more than

once with whatever part of the body, without any other player having touched it between these contacts will be considered as having committed a double hit, except if the first contact was a block the same player may make the next contact.

• LEGAL HIT: A ball must be cleanly hit with any part of the body above the waist. It cannot come to rest momentarily in the hands or arms of a player. Scooping, lifting, pushing, and carrying the ball is illegal. A ball clearly hit with two hands from below is considered a good play.

• PLAYING THE BALL: The ball may be hit by any part of the body above and including the waist except if the ball contacts one or more players participating in a block. These players may participate in the next contact.

Hits• REACHING OVER NET: In returning the ball, a

player may follow through over the net, providing he/she first contacts the ball on his/her own side of the net. Player(s) in the act of blocking may reach across the net but may not contact the ball there until their opponent has hit the ball to return it. A player is permitted to unintentionally cross under the net as long as they don’t interfere with play on the other side of the net. Determining interference is the job of the officials during that game.

• SPIKE: An overhand hit, that goes directly over the net, with or without force that does not have an arc.

HitsTIPPING THE BALL: In sand volleyball open hand tips are illegal by any player during an attack on the ball. Violation will result in point for opposing team. A tip must have a closed fist and or closed knuckles during contact with the ball.
