Adult Recreational Volleyball Rules of Play
We play with the three hit rule
(bump, set, and spikes)
Carries are allowed how ever back row spikes are not.
You must serve at the back line of the court.
(over hand and under permitted but no jump serves, if one fails to comply it will resort in a serve change.)
Points are one at a time and your team will receive one each time the ball hits the court in or out of bounds or when a serve is gained.
Games ends at 15 points when more then 3 teams and 25 when only three teams. The last point needs to be earned on a serve to win the match,
Teams can be chanced up at any time.
Teams are responsible for calling out their teams points at the end of a volley.
These rules are created and set by members and are subject to change with a majority vote form members.
