Rules of Volleyball Cases
Volleyball Rules
Scenario 1: Volleyball
above the net, "on the neutral zone"
Volleyball Rule: When ball breaks the
plane of the net (when even a
little part of
the ball is on the other side of the net), both teams have the right to
play the ball.
Case 1:
Volleyball Rules - Blocker vs. Back Row Setter
If you are a blocker (front row player) in previous situation and
setter of the opposing team is a back row player, when you as a blocker
put your hands to the ball referee supposed to call the ball to your
advantage.
Reason why:
setter is a back row player and performs an ILLEGAL back
row block in the situation.
How to use
the rule in the match? When the opposing setter is back
row
setter and the ball flies to the neutral zone, the front row players
should try to contact the ball. If they manage to do it and the ball
touches setter’s hands, referee supposed to call a back row block for
the setter.
Case 2: Volleyball Rules - Blocker vs.
Front
Row Setter
If the opposing setter is a front row player, the rally continues
normally because neither player has committed to an illegal play.
Important: Notice
that if a blocker jumps to the setter, the blocker has to make
sure s/he is able to stop the setter. In case
the blocker misses it (and hangs in the air when setter sets the ball)
- it
will be an easy task for attacking team to score a point with their
offense.
Case 3: Rules of Volleyball - Blocker vs.
Setter's trick
If setter is back row and the pass is flying to the other side of the
net – setters often are trying to do a trick – they jump up high, push
their hands towards the ball and pretend to set the ball. However, in
the last moment they pull their hands off to let the ball drop to
the other side of the net.
Blockers often are not awake and let that ball drop straight on their
side. Blockers could win that ball just by being ready to
attack the ball when
it breaks the plane even a little bit. Blockers have a huge
opportunity to win that ball, because if they attack
or
block the
ball to setter’s extended hands, it should be called back row block for
the setter.
To Keep It Real
Simple - If the ball breaks the plane of the net, both teams can play it
This previous volleyball rule "the ball on the place of the net" is
probably the most common rule to confuse people. To keep it simple, just remember
- if the ball breaks
the plane, both teams has right to play the ball.
