As soon as it touches antenna it's out. Regardless if it curves back in.

If it's hard driven you can catch it slightly without having catch fault called

Glad to hear it!

That's legal...asked the exact same question with some serious beach players...and you can see on AVP tours that happens...they call it "paint brushing"

@@KP-dd2ci oh sweet. thanks. that is what i thought.

I’m glad for that “paint-brushing” I miss-time too much LOL that I can be so far behind my knuckles won’t reach it!

It should

In normal volleyball at least illegal, because it is part of the (attempt to) block

best to never hit the net :P

As long as part of the ball is still on your side you can hit it. If the ball completely passes over the net onto your opponent's side, then you cannot touch it.

​@volleyballvideos6426 I play 6's coed and here I thought you can spike/hit the ball on the 3rd hit/set even if it crosses the net 😬

@@ozziedelreal3260 i thought that was the rule: that you can hit the ball on third touch even if it crosses the net but i think i was wrong this whole time lol

looks like it depends on the ref, the "attacker" can say that he was trying to set his teammate, be it truth or not

@@getStraxd It says attack-hit, meaning third touch. If the third touch sets to another teammate, that will be a violation since it already exceeds three touches.

​@@getStraxd that's why it's always nice to play with honest people. lol.

@@nexus5648 attack-hit does *not* mean third touch. any ball that is headed towards the net is considered an attack hit. Example: if Team A attacks and Team B digs the ball but it goes back over the net, that's an attack hit. Same with "attack on two". it's right in the name: it's an attack hit.

yes, it's allowed. This example was a bit exaggerated, but he was trying to set the attacker, but his set was imprecise and went over. Sometimes wind can play a factor. For me, I'm just shit with my setting accuracy. If I try to set it close to the net, 2 or 3 out of 10 will actually go over. you can tell because I yell "FUCK!" the moment it leaves my hands. and it's quite a battle when the opposing team just catches the ball and says "fault!" actually, sonny boy, not a fault. the only fault was the carry when you caught the ball. but thanks for playing.

The point 9.2.2.2 says about the first contact, not the first ball of the rally. Every time the ball enters the opponent's side, there is a first contact, so it is not possible to receive the ball with a set. This video is wrong.

If the ball has only partially crossed the net, then you can still attack it, that is a shared space. When the ball has completely crossed the net then its in your opponent's space and you can no longer touch it.

Thank you! Cheers!

Good point, could you link us to the AVP rule book thingy

yes

No fault if the ball presses the net directly into blocker or from resulting oscillation. Ref's discretion if any simultaneous blocking action also results in a fault. I've seen nets blown into players under windy circumstances without fault. Ref's discretion I'd say.

beach as well, if the opposing team completed all 3 touches you can contact the ball over the net as far as you can reach

@@nolajoe580 The three touches are not required. You are allowed to go and reach over the net if the opposing team makes an offensive play. So you may not interrupt a pass or a set, but you may block an over-on-one or over-on-two as far over the net as you can go. Same as indoor btw.

@@AudiFanPK you can touch the ball before 3 touches if the other team doesn't have a chance ,or shows that they're trying to play/recover that touch. Your observation is 100% correct, as far as pointing out offensive intent, but when someone goes over on 1 intentionally they usually do so where there's no blocker set, same with over on 2, but when one "shanks" a pass tight and the setter is under the net, trying to recover it, even if that ball would clearly go over the net, the blocker may not block that ball reaching over the net. Same with a set.

I thought you can hit/spike over the net on the third hit. We'll I play 6's coed league and I see that all the time. This looms like doubles so I'm hoping double and 6's have different rules when spiking over the net on the last set

@@ozziedelreal3260 hmmm, not sure about indoor. In beach you can't offensively contact the ball over the net, but you can defensively reach over to prevent the ball from coming to your side.

Good rule of thumb is “no fingertips”. A perfectly legal tip (what you mentioned) is making your hands like a cat claw and just tapping it. You can even technically use an open hand so long as it’s a “percussive movement” meaning that you try to hit it (even if it’s weak) compared to tipping it.

@@adams2704 I'm pretty sure you can use fingertips too, as long as your fingers are rigid and together.

@@adams2704 "percussive movement" is a helpful description. will be using that language to assist with my neighborhood tourney this weekend.

@@davidericlewisballs gotta have that percussive “pop” if contacted with your palm.

@@justenhansenthat’s what it says in the rule screenshot provided

its slowed down significantly. there is a short window where instead of the ref guessing its called simultaneous

Agreed. There are open level players out there who don't understand that.

@@eddiefahrenheit1673 name an open player that doesn't know basic rules

@@456yukon If you watch AVP or any other "open" tournament, pretty much any name that you can think of, if the call goes against them!!! :))))

Yes. If the opposing teams tries to go over on one or two, you are allowed to reach over the net to block. I prefer the following summary: You are not allowed to interrupt a pass or a set by reaching over the net to block. However: You may always reach over the net to block any offensive play, regardless of how many times the ball was played.

@@AudiFanPK it can also apply for bad overset or overpass, doesn't have to be intentional offensive play. As long as it doesn't interfere, you are allowed to block that ball that is still on opponent side.

Glad you liked it!

When the ball is close to the net, it is often very difficult to make a swing and follow through. Players will try to place the ball on the other side of the net with less force and the ball doesn't come off the hand clean. Using your knuckles to "poke" the ball on the other side of the court is a clean way to get the same result. When a player is farther off the net a swing will come off clean from your hand because of the follow through.

The advanced trail is 2 whole trial is 10

Right on! It's probably flooded right now, but it's a great trail.

What I read says beginner w/ a couple intermediate

Beginner and Advanced is what it says. I don't think I'm experienced enough to comment on the difference elsewhere. Just started riding.
