Zion Volleyball Official Rules and Regulations (Part 1)

  1. The first serve is always a "Practice Serve". Unless of course, the first serve happens to clear the net and actually land in bounds.
  2. If eight or more people are playing, then the black lines (and back walls) mark the boundaries. If less than eight people are playing the yellow lines are out.
  3. You may serve under-hand, over-hand or jump serve. You do however, have to inform all other players what kind of serve you will be using. You apparently DO NOT however, have to pay attention to where you are standing when you serve. Go ahead, creep up to that mid-court line. We're not picky.
  4. If our team calls it a "carry" and you and your team deny it, you can prove your innocence by completing the "trial by fire" walk (please refer to "The Office, Season Three, Episode 22 "Beach Day").
  5. You may leave at any time for a drink or bathroom break. You don't have to inform anyone - not even your own teammates. Just please come back eventually.
  6. If you are sitting on the stage due to Maternity Leave, please remember we CAN NOT be held responsible for you getting hit by the ball. It's every woman for herself out there. This also goes to any setters who get nailed in the back of the head by the server on their own team. We recommend standing behind the standard until the serve is complete.

You are awesome! Preston was dying reading all the rules. It's true, everyone stands wherever they want when they serve. You should add the rule about when the ball hits the ceiling. Keep us updated!

I'm glad that we have established official rules. i've been so confused on the carry rule. I'm glad that your have cleared that up for me. We need to make a rule about if you make a basket and how there is no net violation.
