League Rules for 2013

• Standard FIVB / USA Volleyball rules Several exceptions to encourage learning

• For ol’ schoolers, standard rules now include: Rally scoring - each serve results in a point Serves can touch net Players can touch side of net but not tape Double-touches on first contact


Service Rules

• “Redo” if first serve missed• Only on first attempt in the rotation

• No foot faults

• Maximum of 5 service wins in a row per server • After 5 consecutive points, service switches to

other team without point

• ES players can serve 5 feet in from the back line - both underhand and overhand


Scoring Rules

• Matches are 3 games to 25 points (win by 2)

• Play 3 full games (NOT best of 3)

• Winner of 3rd game is team with most points when time runs out

• An extra point is awarded for three touches that result in an immediate point:• Discretion of the referee

• First 2 touches can be bumps or sets; last touch must be an overhead hit

• Extra point only awarded if opposing team does not legally return the ball


Substitution Rules


• Use “Continuous Substitution”• Promotes equal playing time• Players on count and bench are one continuous line-up• With each clockwise rotation, two players rotate off the

court and two players from bench rotate on to the court• Start each subsequent game with players in the same

positions as the end of the previous game

Match Sequencing

• Warm-ups for 10 minutes• Coaches coordinate hitting and serving times

• Referee calls for team captains• Flip coin to determine first server and side

• Volunteer parents assist referees• Need 1 score flipper and 2 lines judges

• 2 minutes between games• Timeouts permitted

• Two 30-second timeouts per team per game

• Teams shake hands under the net before and after the match

• Referees report wins-losses


Head Coach Responsibilities

• Communicate and work with your parents• Utilize your parent volunteers as necessary

• Create practice plans• Setup and takedown nets• Address special player/parent needs

• Bring in Chuck, Asra & Kevin when needed

• Motivate and encourage!


Safety Considerations

• No water bottles allowed on playing floor – injury hazard

• Remove any other potential hazards from the playing area

Volunteer Building Director

• Required by Fairfax County Neighborhood and Community Services (NCS) for MYA to use school facilities.

• Review materials on the NCS VBD website and take the short on-line test• 15-20 minutes to certify

• Retake test as often as needed• Forward confirmation email to [email protected]

• NCS Inspectors DO visit gyms• Keep an electronic or paper copy of VBD certificate

handy whenever using the gym


Other Coaching Considerations

• Focus on fundamental ball control skills: serve, pass, set, hit and *movement*

• Practices should reinforce these skills

• Use drills that encourage as many player “touches” as possible

• Simulate game play over the net

• Explain to players/parents that the focus is on ball control using multiple touches, not winning as many points as possible through one touch “Ping-Pong”

• Promote communications and CHEERING!!

• Provide positive feedback

• Defer to referees
