Service Rules • “Redo” if first serve missed • Only on first attempt in the rotation • No foot faults • Maximum of 5 service wins in a row per server • After 5 consecutive points, service switches to other team without point • ES players can serve 5 feet in from the back line - both underhand and overhand MVPower Boys Volleyball
Scoring Rules • Matches are 3 games to 25 points (win by 2) • Play 3 full games (NOT best of 3) • Winner of 3rd game is team with most points when time runs out • An extra point is awarded for three touches that result in an immediate point: • Discretion of the referee • First 2 touches can be bumps or sets; last touch must be an overhead hit • Extra point only awarded if opposing team does not legally return the ball MVPower Boys Volleyball
Substitution Rules • Use “Continuous Substitution” • Promotes equal playing time • Players on count and bench are one continuous line-up • With each clockwise rotation, two players rotate off the court and two players from bench rotate on to the court • Start each subsequent game with players in the same positions as the end of the previous game Net 5 4 3 6 2 1 7 8 9 10 Server MVPower Boys Volleyball

Other Coaching Considerations • Focus on fundamental ball control skills: serve, pass, set, hit and *movement* • Practices should reinforce these skills • Use drills that encourage as many player “touches” as possible • Simulate game play over the net • Explain to players/parents that the focus is on ball control using multiple touches, not winning as many points as possible through one touch “Ping-Pong” • Promote communications and CHEERING!! • Provide positive feedback • Defer to referees MVPower Boys Volleyball
