Volleyball Rules and Expectations - Updated January, 2024
We have a lot of people who want to play! Please read the following updated information....
From now on you must be on the "Going" list in order to play. If you are on the list please don’t be a no-show!
If you can’t make it please cancel 24 hours or more before the event. I know sometimes there are emergencies. Emergencies should not be a regular occurrence.
If you don't remove yourself from the list and don’t show up, I will remove your name from the next event. You can re-sign, but you will be at the end of the waitlist.
IMPORTANT: Don’t come if you are on the waitlist. You must be on the GOING list to attend.
No guests from here on out–I have turned off this feature on the app. Tell your friends how to sign up. I will delete all remaining guests on Feb. 5th.
No trading spots with your friends. If you can’t come, take yourself off the list. No, your friend cannot come in your place. They will need to wait for their turn on the waitlist.
Tournament Nights - 1st and 3rd Monday of each month!
Group members voted to have tournament games twice a month.
If you want to be a team captain please put your name on the list at volleyball night. I will have a clipboard there for signing up. I will rotate names equally.
Expectations for captains include the following:
Be familiar with all or most players in order to choose balanced teams.
Lead by example with good sportsmanship.
Invest in your team by being positive, helping with skills if needed, guiding players in how to work as a TEAM… not just get the ball over.
Monitor so that players are not playing others’ positions, staying in the setter position, or causing other problems.
All players:
Please speak up for yourself if someone is playing your position or asks to stay in the setter position. Graciously tell them no.
Play your position! Sometimes it can be hard to know whose ball it is–just be aware of where you are, call the ball, and back off if someone else calls it so we can avoid injuries.
The setter (center front player) gets the second hit. If they need to, they should call HELP. Otherwise, let the SETTER take the second hit.
NOTE: Be clear when you call GOT IT or HELP. It gets loud in the gym and can be hard to understand what people are saying.
Call out the score clearly BEFORE serving.
No spikes or high-speed power hits, except for serves.
No bad language, including cursing, swearing, or speaking any form of God’s name casually or disrespectfully.
Stay alert, play your best, have a good attitude, and be respectful of all players.
We will never all agree on every issue. Please be a good sport and help keep volleyball fun, safe, and awesome for everyone.
Thank you for being part of this group!!! Please always feel free to talk with me if you have input, questions, or concerns.
