• The ball is “OUT” if it lands outside the court, touches a non-player off the court, touches or passes outside the antennae on either side of the net.
• Service for each new set (game) alternates from 1 team to the other

Normal Play

• When a team hits the ball out, the opposing team then gains the serve
• If the ball remains in play, the side receiving the ball regains their 3 new hits
• If an attacking team plays their shot on their side of the net and the receiving team then blocks above the net, the receiving team gains possession and has 3 shots to play

NET BALL

• A ball may touch the net during service, play continues within the 3 hit rule.
• A ball may hit the net during a rally and play continues within the 3 hit rule

NET PLAY

• A blocker may touch the ball beyond the net providing they do not interfere with the attackers shot (before and during the shot)

• A player may not touch the top band of the net during play.
