SEASON REGULATIONS

The following rules apply Competitive & COED Divisions.

Team SizeMax. 12 players
Season Length~8 games (weather/COVID dependent)
COED Lineup Rules6 players per side
Min 2 women must be on the court to play.

In the event that only 1 women shows up, captains can agree to waive the default and play the game. If this occurs, the team must play 1 player less.
Match UpsMatch-ups will be posted on the league schedule. Teams will play multiple games per game night. 
OfficialsAll games are self officiated
Game Set UpVolleyball nets will be set up by the players or LUG staff upon arrival to the game.
To determine who serves first, teams can either choose to play a rally game (minimum 3 crosses over the net), coin toss or rock-paper- scissors. •
Teams are responsible for keeping score and time.
Official GameEach match is a best of 3 games format.
The first two games are rally-point scoring to 25 points, the first team to 25 wins.
The third game is rally-point scoring to 15 points, the first team to 15 wins.
General Rules

  • A player may not make two consecutive hits of the ball, except where the player has contacted the ball on a block, and then the player may hit the ball a second time.
  • Tips are allowed. However, teams can choose to play without this rule (i.e. tips not allowed and players use a closed fist instead). This must be decided on before the game start
  • Players are to call balls ‘in’ or ‘out’ of bounds. If the ball touches any part of a court line, it is ‘in’. The ball must completely pass the line to be ‘out’. If there is a dispute, resume play by re-serving the ball with no point awarded. If a disagreement escalates, any disputes should be discussed amongst the two team captains only. • 
  • If a match concludes early, the teams can continue to play, but the score of the fourth game will not be recorded.
