• Volleyball Rule Change for 2010:

  • CENTER LINE RULE

    • It is now permitted to totally cross the center line with any part of the body (except for the feet) as long as there is no interference with the opponent's play. It remains illegal to do so with 1 foot (or both feet) without being in contact with the line.
• Ontario Volleyball Association rules apply as adapted by OFSSA, 1999 and as modified 
  below
• matches will be: best of 3 in round robin play, semi-final and finals matches except when the
  championship game is played in the evening in which case it will be best of 5.
• all games EXCEPT 3rd game in 2 out of 3 or 5th game in 3 out of 5 will be rally point 
  to 25 - no cap -team must win by 2 points 
• the 3rd game in 2 out of 3 or the 5th game in 3 out of 5 will be rally point to 15 - no cap 
  - team must win by 2 points
• 12 substitutions per game - substitutions are married with the exception of the libero - see libero rules
  - ie. if A is substituted for B then A and B are married and can only sub for each other
• libero can be used this year and will be evaluated at the end of the season - rules for libero
• substitutions (O.V.A. RULES) must be requested through the umpire or referee, if no 
  umpire is being used. There has been a rule change by the OVA - "Serving: a player has 
  eight (8) seconds to serve the ball once signaled by the referee to do so, however 
  NO second attempts will be permitted." This rule has NOT BEEN ADOPTED by 
  LESAA this year. Servers will still be allowed two attempts to serve. It is a loss of serve 
  if a player tosses a ball on a overhand serve and catches it before it touches the floor. Players 
  should know  that this OVA rule will be used if they play next year at the high school level.
• all questions to the referee MUST go through the Floor captain
• misconduct or inappropriate behaviour by players, coaches or spectators will be handled by the 
  convener not the high school referees. The referees are asked to speak with the convener
  if a problem arises with a player or coach. In this situation :
  • the game will be stopped
  • the coach will be asked to deal with problem (or convenor will speak to coach)
  • if a parent is involved, the convenor will speak to parent
  • if problem still persists, high school staff will be involved
  • at no time is the game to continue while the problem persists
• uniforms with numbers are required
• O.V.A. rules will be followed - rule books may be obtained from Ontario Volleyball 
  Association - phone 1-800-563-5938 or send e-mail request to: ovavol@osrc.com
