Answer 8

omg well that sucks that the refs hate your school, but our coach explained it to us, and once the ref blows the wistle you have exactly 5 seconds to serve the ball. best of luck dealing with those refs!!! (:

Answer 9

what's the problem, just serve the dang ball.  its not hard really. make sure you're ready and looking at the ref when he blows the whistle. then serve it.  if anyone seriously needs to take more than 0.5 seconds to serve the ball (even a jump serve) then you might wanna pick up a different sport, cuz obviously volleyball's not for you. Even the most difficult serve is pretty simple.  I'm not even sure if i believe that this is a real question.

Answer 10

after the referee blows,u have 8 sec to serve!=)

Answer 11

5 seconds

and you should tell someone bout the ref problem or something...

then you could ALWAYS get the one that likes your team!!!

Answer 12

it depends what league you're in.  In my school district, we have 10 seconds.  Your coach should have a copy of the rules.  Either that or ask the coach what the set of rules are called (which league you're in) and you may be able to find them online.

Answer 13

most of the time you have about 5 seconds in high school volleyball...about the refs favoring the other schools, you should just make sure that you serve the ball in 5 seconds so there is no chance for him/her to make horrible calls on your team.

Answer 14

i say between 5-30 seconds for a serve!

Answer 15

8 seconds

Answer 16

you have 5 seconds...but it really just depends on the ref!! i say you fight it...i mean if they keep doing it!!
