Intermediate Volleyball Rule Changes for Fall 2009 Session Based on a vote from the team captains, we have decided to implement the following rule changes based on the 2009 USVBA rule book. Center Line The rule for center line faults have been changed so that parts other than the foot are now allowed to touch the opponent’s court as long as it does not interfere with the opponent’s play. Here are the new rules: 11.2.2 Penetration into the opponent’s court, beyond the center line: 11.2.2.1 To touch the opponent’s court with a foot (feet) is permitted, provided that some part of the penetrating foot (feet) remains either in contact with or directly above the center line. 11.2.2.2 To touch the opponent’s court with any part of the body above the feet is permitted provided that it does not interfere with the opponent’s play. Contact with the Net Incidental net contact, even when playing the ball is no longer a fault as long as it does not interfere with the opponent’s play. Contact with the top tape while playing the ball is still a fault however. Here are the new rules: 11.3.1 Contact with the net by a player is not a fault, unless it interferes with the play. 11.3.2 Players may touch the post, ropes, or any other object outside the antennae, including the net itself, provided that it does not interfere with play. 11.A player interferes with the opponent’s play by (amongst others): - touching the top band of the net or the top 80 cm (2’ 7.49”) of the antenna during his/her action of playing the ball, or - taking support from the net simultaneously with playing the ball, or - creating an advantage over the opponent, or - making actions which hinder an opponent’s legitimate attempt to play the ball. These changes will go into effect immediately. Any questions about the changes should be directed to Mark Butler.
