Scenario: Joust - Volleyball on the plane of the net
A joust occurs in the
situation in which the ball is on the plane of
the net - on the neutral zone in which both teams are allowed to play
the ball.
A joust occurs when two players simultaneously touch the ball
on the neutral zone above the net.
Basic Volleyball Rules Case 1: Joust - Blocker vs. Blocker
Rule:
Previously referee used to call replay if the ball stops between
players, but perception of the rule has been changed. The play supposed
to continue, even if the ball stops between the players.
Lengthened
contact when doing the joust is legal. (Similar longer contact
when
attacking the ball is a fault.)
How
to Win
Volleyball Joust?
In order to win the joust the player needs to be “aggressive and
strong”.
Extend your arms, “lock your elbows and shoulders”. It is
extremely important to keep your abs “tight”.
Keeping your core, the
middle body “tight” helps you to keep the ball “stabile” when opponent
is pushing it. So actually the key is to “hold” to keep the ball
stabile, instead of just pushing the ball forward.
“Hold” the ball and
don’t give even an inch to your opponent. If you just attack and push
to the ball quickly to the hands of the opponent, you’ll likely lose
the joust.
Most often the player who just pushes the ball loses against
the player who understands just to “hold the ball steady”.
The key is
to “hold” the ball with all your power as long as you can. By following
the “hold” principle, you often win even if you have only one hand on
the joust.
Important:
We used the word “hold”, instead of “push”, so you understand
it is important have a long contact to the ball. You do push the ball,
but the most important thing is to “defend” from your opponent’s push
and having a long and steady contact to the ball.
How
to
practice volleyball joust?
You can test and practice the joust without a net, placing the ball
between the player’s hands. You’ll notice now much easier it is to
“defend” and “hold” the ball, when other person is trying to push it
hard.

Case 2: Joust - Blocker vs. Blocker
This situation is more complex, but can be executed by
extremely skilled players.
How
to Win
Volleyball Joust? - Another Way to Win the Rally
When two players are simultaneously touching
the ball above the net sometimes you are in the bad position to push
the ball to the opponent’s side. Then it could be necessary to
“secretly” pull the ball to your own side OUTSIDE THE BOUNDARY LINES.
In other words let the opponent push the ball to your side, but direct
it outside the lines.
The reason
why you win the joust
The guidelines for
refereeing state if two
players are
simultaneously pushing the ball and the ball goes outside the lines,
the referee should judge “the ball went out because the offensive side
pushed it out”.
You if you are very skilled and able to “direct” that
ball outside your own boundary lines, you supposed to win the ball to
your team.
