TOP TEN THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT INTRAMURAL VOLLEYBALL
1. Net heights are 7'11" for men, 7' 8" for coed, and 7' 4" for women.
2. All men’s, women’s and coed divisions play 6-on-6 volleyball. The minimum
required to play is 5. Coed games are played with 3 men and 3 women. If a team
has only 5 players, then they must play with a vacant spot for the sixth player.
This spot is included in the regular rotation so that at one point the team will
have two players on the front line. This vacancy is skipped in serving so that a
team does not lose service, side out, or point.
3. The captain must submit their starting line-up to the referee no later than 5
minutes prior to the start of the match. All line-ups must be listed in serving
order. There is no Libero. Coed line-ups must be listed in male/female
alternating order. Captains may start with either a male or a female.
4. A match consists of winning two out of three sets to 25 scoring points using the
Rally System. A game is won when a team scores 25 points and is ahead by at
least 2 points. No game shall exceed 30 points. If the teams are tied at 29-29,
the first team to score the 30th point shall be the winner.
5. There is no limit on the number of players permitted to substitute at one time.
There is no limit on the number of times a player may enter and re-enter the
match, but they may only play and re-enter with the same 1 or 2 substitutes, as
written on the line-up sheet. Coed substitutions must be male for male and
female for female only, unless it is to bring the ratio to 3 and 3. The ratio cannot
be changed if it is 3 males and 3 females.
6. The winner of a coin toss has the choice of service or side of court. The team not
serving first in the first game shall serve first in the second game. Service for the
third game will be determined by a coin toss.
7. A legal hit is contact with the ball by any part of a player’s body where the ball
does not come to rest. The ball must be clearly hit. Throwing, lifting, or shoving
the ball are illegal.
8. In all coed games, if the ball is played more than once on a side, both genders
must contact it at least once.
9. Attacking a serve is prohibited.
10. Back-row players are not permitted to participate in an attempt to block. A
block is not counted as one of a team’s 3 hits.
