Volleyball question: what does "side out" mean?

Question

theres a cheer that my team does when the other team is about to serve where one person says "side out" and the rest of the team says "side it out!"

i was wondering what it means to "side it out"

Answer 1

it means the other team gets the point, ball, and they have to rotate. the term side out came from the type of scoring that came before rally scoring. the way it worked was that ONLY the team that was serving could score. took a very long time, hence why rally scoring came about.

Answer 2

That basically mean get them out.

Answer 3

side out means that after the opposing team hits the ball out of the boundries, the serve is yours.  basically, the serve goes to the other team.

Answer 4

Side out volleyball used to the style of play used in all volleyball.  A side out was when the team was done serving and that "side was out" and the other team began serving.  It became shortened to side out.  Teams still use the side out reference even though rally scoring is in effect in all volleyball.  The side out cheer is still popular meaning they are serving and we want to serve.

Answer 5

to side out means basically to get the next point. Gain possession of the next serve.

Answer 6

When the other team is about to serve the ball, they have possesion of the ball.

To side out means for the team without possession of the ball to win that volley.

Answer 7

sideout means to get the ball back or the next point when people say that they are just encouraging you to get the next point

Answer 8

Side out is the term volleyball people use to say that the other team lost the point, and gave them the serve.  As in an example, the other team missed the serve, so they lost the point.  And because they missed their serve, the other team gets to serve.  It really isn't that complicated, it's just hard to explain.
