from 6 years of experience, yes, when it hits the line on the two sides, and the base line of your side, it's in, same for the other side...

Answer 5

The line is considered inbounds.

I don't have a website to cite this, but I play twice a week with some serious volleyball players.  Me, I'm just a hack player who's out for the fun and some exercise at lunch time.

Answer 6

Usually when the ball is on the line it counts as in =). Sometimes if you have a really mean coach that the ref may feel threatend by she will call an unfair judgment(This happened to my team and I think we may have won though but I'm not sure)

If a ball hits the line it is in!

Answer 11

You can get a copy of the FIVB rules here:

http://www.usavolleyball.org/RulesOffici...

The 2 inches boundary line is considered "IN".

If the ball lands outside of the outer edge of the line, it is OUT.

For the 3 Meter Line - Attack Line, if the back row player touches the line when s/he attack the ball which is completely above the plane of the net, that is considered a back row attack violation.

In other word, the attack line is part of the front zone.
