PLAYER POSITIONSRule 6, Section 4, Article 1 The positions of players in order of serve shall be RB, RF, CF, LF, LB, CB. The receiving team lines up one back for the first serve of each set ONLY . In other words their first server is in RF because they have to rotate when they win a rally and are awarded the serve and then the RF will rotate to RB and will be the first server.

THE SERVERule 8, Section 2, Article 1 • The first server of the set is the right back position of the serving team. Thereafter, when a team is awarded a loss of rally, the player in the right front position rotates to serve. • The RF on either team is always the next player listed after the last server (RB) on the LUC. In this system, the R2 makes a mark on their LUC each time a player begins a term of service. (Not mandatory but highly recommended). • How do you know who the 3 front row players (RF-CF-LF) are if you don’t know who served last (RB)? • For this class we will only be using position names, in your own chapter, referees need to learn how check player positions using the line up card and players numbers .
HOW TO CHECK PLAYER POSITIONS • Before the start of every rally it is necessary for the R2 to check that players on the receiving team are in their correct positions and that there are no illegal alignments or over lapping. • How does the R2 do this ? They use the R2 LUC. They find out who served last, the RB. The next 3 numbers after that number are the 3 front row players (RF-CF-LF). The next 3 numbers listed are the 3 back row players (LB-CB-RB). • Find the last server, get the front 3 off your LUC and check them on the court, then get the back 3 off your LUC and check them on the court. • This should take about 10 seconds, then put your LUC card down and watch play. • Using a LUC is a DEAD BALL SKILL.

In the examples that follow we will only use position names.

In these examples, we will only use position names.
PROPER ALIGNMENT - F & B NET CENTER LINE CF LF RF Front row players must have at least one foot in contact with the floor closer to the center line than their corresponding back row player. CB RB LB
PROPER ALIGNMENT - F & B In the following examples the same rules apply to the following pairs: LF - LBCF - CBRF - RB We will only be showing examples of the CF and CB LET’S LOOK AT SOME EXAMPLES
ALIGNMENT - F & B - 1 CENTER LINE CB WHY: One part of the CF’s foot is closer to the center line than both feet of the CB CF LEGAL ILLEGAL
ALIGNMENT - F & B - 2 CENTER LINE WHY ? The CF must have at least part of one foot closer to the center line than both feet of the CB, here the CF is obviously behind the CB. LEGAL CB or CF ILLEGAL
ADJACENT PLAYERS Rule 6, section 4 states that players must be properly aligned with the players in front and in back of them and to the left and right of them in corresponding rows. Another term for players in corresponding rows and positions (left to right and front to back row) is adjacent players.
