VolleyBall Association of San Diego


General Rules
1) Lets all have fun !!
2) We are guest here at Clairemont High School. Please keep food and drinks off the court. Water is OK.
3) League play is on the Honor system. All disputed calls are to be played over !
4) Team Captains are responsible for recording the score on the score sheet. Missing scores will be listed as losses for both teams.
5)

 In between each court is a neutral zone, which may be used to recover hits. Once the ball travels into the next court, the ball is dead and the point or service change is made. A player may not step on the next court's boundary line or into the next court. Because there is a chance for an accident to occur, players that enter another court will be warned first. A player entering the court continually will not be able to continue play for that match. Safety is most important.
LEAGUE RULES
