I was playing volleyball with a couple of friends the other day when a teammate kicks the ball. I thought that wasn't allowed, but he says that it is. I've read the official rules but it's not very specific.

  1. This all depends on what state you play in- everyone has their own rules. Most of the states with more updated rules allow the ball to hit your foot, but only if you are not intentionally kicking it. This is just like if it hits your face or other body part- it's frowned upon, but under the right circumstances there's nothing wrong with it, as long as it's not a carry or intentional. Club volleyball generally follows this rule as well.


  2. YEA U CAN BUT U CAN'T JUST B SWINGING UR LEG @ THE BALL U CAN HIT IT W? ANY PART OF UR BODY !!

  3. yes you can!

  4. No, kicking is not allowed in volleyball.

  5. i dont think its allowed its a hands hit ball not feet hit ball sport

  6. the ball is only allowed to be hit/touched by body parts above the waist

  7. no dear, it's not allowed.

  8. thehehe.. wh at a funnie man

    No its not allowed.

    =]

    best of luck. my wishes to ya!!

  9. NO. Kicking the ball is only allowed in soccor and football

  10. No! you are only allowed to hit it with your hands.

  11. Your can't purposely kick it, but if if hits your foot w/ out touching the floor, it's ok

  12. no

  13. You're right.  It's not specific.  Let me try to be.

    In club volleyball you are allowed to.  If you just stick your foot out there and it goes up congrats you've just formed a bad habit BUT the ball is up.  Now I live in Colorado and CHASA (the high school board for athletics) is about 10 years behind everyone else.  So in high school here, it is not allowed, it is called as a lift.  Your best bet is to find a coach and ask your question.  It's allowed some places and not others.  If your just playing with friends let them kick it.

  14. The girls junior high and high school (NFSHSA) rules do not allow any contact below the waist.  USAV and the FIVB (the international rules) and women's college all allow the contact with any part of the body including intentionally kicking the ball.

  15. Kicking the volleyball is legal, but a kick CANNOT send the ball over the net, this will result in a point for the opposing team.

  16. kicking like you would kick a soccer ball?  that is not allowed.

    i play volleyball on the varsity team at my high school [i'm a freshman].  i would know whats allowedddd.  haha.

    but if you kick it to save it instead of diving for it.. thats allowed under different cercumstances.

    hope this helps!   ♥   :]

  17. It is allowed if it just happens with out you amming for it. It is not against the rules in beach volleyball.

  18. no, you cannot kick!  v-ball is a game you use w/ hands only!  tell your friend to go play soccer!

  19. no you cant kick the ball in like school volleyball but you can in sand volleyball or beach volleyball but no in school

  20. There are many ruling entities in volleyball.

    I went to FIVB Beach Volleyball Official Rules (see the link below) and a "Hit" is any contact with the body, deliberate or accidental... that would include a kick.

    On the other hand....

    I also play in a couple of leagues and run a rec league myself.

    My rec league defines a kick as a fault as I am worried about the possible injury that could happen.

  21. No because if you kick a volleyball,it won't go over the net so the other team can get a point.

  22. I think directly kicking the ball when you have the opportunity to use your arms is against the rule. Some exceptions will be made if the ball bounces and your leg swings or something.

    I may not be a Referee but somehow I don't think you're allowed to just go out and kick the ball in volleyball, a sport where strong arms are needed...

  23. kicking is not allowed in volleyball

  24. No No No kickiing is not allowed in volleyball.

  25. no, that's what soccer is for. The definition for volleyball is  

    Volley means

    a. the flight of the ball before it hits the ground.

    OR

    b. the return of the ball to one of your teammates or over the net  before it hits the ground.

    tell him that.

  26. it's not very normal, but it is legal if it works.  Ur friend is right, it's ok.
