WACC Volleyball will adhere to WIAA Rules with the following
exceptions:
1.
The 5th Grade
and 6th Grade
GIRLS ONLY serving line will be moved up six (6) feet and should be
appropriately marked by the gym. We
strongly recommend that each coach have a set of WIAA Rules, which
may be obtained at most sporting goods stores.
2.
A
player may serve from anywhere behind the end line between the
sideline extensions.
3.
The net height is 7 feet, 4 and 1/8 inches.
4.
Incidental contact (with the exception of hair) with the net when
not making the play on the ball is a fault.
5.
Setting or overhand passing a serve is allowed as long as it is not
a lift. A double hit is allowed on any first team contact.
6.
A player may play
the ball with any part of their body including their feet (except on
the serve).
7.
Each
match will consist of three games. League
standings will be based on a cumulative win-loss total of all three
games.
8.
Each
gym should provide reliable scorekeepers. Records of games played
and scored should be recorded on the league sheets and the score
reporter for the home gym should submit them via the score reporting
website (http://wacc.witest.com/login.php)
by Noon on the Monday after the weekend's play. The scores are
reported by the gym at which they are played.
9.
A
spirit of sportsmanship and fair play should be exhibited by coaches
and players at all times. Referees’
and linemen’s decisions are final and should not be subject to
discussion from the bench.
10.
WACC
Intent Sign must be displayed in all gyms.
11.
All
volleyball standards and referee stands MUST be padded.
12.
A
team that is not on the floor ready to play ten (10) minutes after
the scheduled start of the game forfeits the match.
13.
A
starting line-up may consist of as few as four (4) players. Players
arriving late may join the game at next dead ball situation. Opposing
team may play at full strength, although they are asked to consider
fair play.
14.
Games
will be played up to 25 points rally scoring. There must be a
two-point difference to win a game with no cap. A match will consist
of three games. All games apply to the standings. Teams shall switch
sides for game two. A coin toss for game 3 with the home team
calling the toss will determine the serve and side for game three.
The third game will be played to only 15 points rally scoring (win
by 2) if 30 minutes or
more has elapsed from the start of the first game to the end of the
second game. There
will be NO switching of sides half way
through the game in game 3, and the
players do not need to stand at the end line during the coin flip
prior to the start of Game 3.
15.
It
will no longer be a fault for the serve to contact the net. This is
referred to as a "Let Serve". If
the ball "dribbles" over, it's playable just like any other ball
that contacts the net on the way over. If the ball fails to clear
the net, it will become dead just as before.
16.
GIRLS
ONLY: A lighter "VOLLEY-LITE" ball will be used for 5th and 6th grade.

are allowed a ten (10) minute warm-up period before their game.
