Pages: |
- The ball lands out of the court, in the same court as the team that touched it last, under the net to the opposing team's court, or the ball touches the net "antennas". The ball also may not pass over or outside the antennas even if it lands in the opponents' court 1 .
- The ball is touched more than three times before being returned to the other team's court 2 .
- The same player touches the ball twice in succession 3 .
- A player "lifts" or "carries" the ball (the ball remains in contact with the player's body for too long).
- A player touches the net with any part of his or her body or clothing while making a play on the ball (with the exception of the hair).
- The players of one team do not manage to touch the ball before the ball lands in their half of the court.
- A back-row player spikes the ball while it is completely above the top of the net, unless he or she jumped from behind the attack line (the player is however allowed to land in front of the attack line).
- A back-row player participates in a completed block of the opposing team's attack (completed means at least one blocker touched the ball).
- The libero , a defensive specialist who can only play in the back row, attempts a block or makes an "attacking hit", defined as any shot struck while the ball is entirely above the top of the net.
- A player completes an attack hit from higher than the top of the net when the ball is coming from an overhand finger pass (set) by a libero in the front zone.
