• The net height shall be 7'6".
• No jewelry, barrettes, beads, or bandanas may be worn while playing. This includes posts for pierced ears. Unadorned, flat clips 2 inches or smaller will be allowed.
PLAYER ELIGIBILITY AND ROSTER
• Adult Co-Ed Volleyball rosters are comprised of adults 21 years of age or older who are parishioners at a Catholic parish – exceptions should be submitted to CYO Athletics. All players should be listed on the roster – no players not on a roster should play in any match. Each player must sign the Hold Harmless Agreement for Adult Sports prior to playing in a match, to be maintained by the team coach at each game.
• Home team must furnish a competent scorekeeper who will maintain the official score for that match. This can rotate depending on who is on the bench.
• Six players will constitute a playing team. In an emergency, games may begin with 5 players.
• Teams are encouraged to share players to meet player or gender minimums in order to create opportunity to play.
RULES
All volleyball teams in CYO Athletics will play according to the current volleyball guide of the National Federation of High School Volleyball rules unless otherwise specified in this manual or the rules herein outlined.
MATCH FORMAT AND TIME
• Each team will share the court for a five-minute pre-match warm-up, and two minutes serving.
• Each game will begin with the CYO Athletics Pre-event prayer by Knute Rockne
• All teams will play rally scoring with the first two games to 25 points, and the third game to 15 points.
• Matches will be best two out of three games and must be completed, along with the warmup, within the hour. The third game will be played to a score of 15 points and a team is at least two points ahead (to a maximum of 25 points), or until the one-hour time limit is reached (win by one point) whichever comes first.
• Matches will be scheduled on the hour. If matches finish and time allows, teams may play an additional game. If both teams play beyond the official match, they must clear the floor and benches prior to the next scheduled match!
MATCH PLAY
• Teams will automatically substitute players every rotation. Players sub out after position 2 and sub back in at position 1 (server spot). The players sub into the game in the same order they leave the game.
• At least 2 players of each gender must be on the floor at all times and 3 males or females may not be placed in 3 consecutive positions.
• To maintain this order, separate male and female rotations may be established at start of the match.
• If a player of one gender must remain on the floor to maintain gender balance, they stay on the floor, team rotates and next substitution will take place gender for gender (i.e. male->male, female->female).
• The “libero position” is not used in CYO Athletics volleyball.
• Clarification of NFHS rule: back row players may not come forward for blocking; they shall not attack the ball (hit the ball which is completely above the height of the net) while positioned on or inside the 10-foot (attack) line or in the air having left the floor on or in front of the attack line. A back row player may attack the ball from behind the attack line, except on a serve (which cannot be blocked or attacked).
• For safety reasons, no kicking, or attempting to kick, the ball.
SERVING
• Server need not toss the ball.
• Ball must be served within 8 seconds of referee's whistle.
DECORUM, STEWARDSHIP AND SPORTSMANSHIP
• Only the designated floor captain may approach the referee.
• Please remember that all cheers should be positive and supportive of all players.
• Fans and players must remain silent when a player is attempting to serve.
• No gum chewing in the gymnasium.
