  1. The best site that will answer your question on the great game of Volleyball is http://www.fivb.org/EN/Volleyball/Rules/...   Faults listed in other answers are not all correct example it is allowed to touch the ball with your feet and it is not allowed to touch the line during the service.


  2. the girls dont wear skimpy enough outfits !!

  3. yes, contact with another player can cause a free pass

  4. * 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' court1.

    * The ball is touched more than three times before being returned to the other team's court2.

    * The same player touches the ball twice in succession3.

    * 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 attempts to block an opposing team's attack by reaching above the top of the net.

    * The libero, a defensive specialist who can only play in the back row, 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.

    * A player is not in the correct position at the moment of serve, or serves out of turn. This type of foul is related to the position currently occupied by the players (see the table in the Equipment section). When ball is served, players can place themselves freely on the field (e.g. a "back-row" player can be close to the net) so long as they obey the following rules: The area "1" player must be behind the area "2" player and to the right of the area "6" player. The area "6" player must be behind area "3" player, to the left of area "1" player and to the right of area "5". The area "5" player must be behind the area "4" player and to the left of the area "6" player. Symmetric rules must be respected by the front-row players (those in areas "2", "3" and "4").

    * When hitting, a player makes contact with the ball in the space above the opponent's court (in blocking an attack hit, this is allowed).

    * A player touches the opponent's court with any part of his or her body except the feet or hands4.

    * When serving, a player steps on the court or the endline before making contact with the ball.

    * A player takes more than 8 seconds to serve.[2]

    * At the moment of serve, one or more players jump, raise their arms or stand together at the net in an attempt to block the sight of the ball from the opponent (screening)5.

    Notes: 1 If the ball passes outside the antennas on the first contact for the team, e.g. as the result of a bad pass or dig, a player is allowed to go after the ball as long as he or she does not touch the opponent's court and the ball travels back to his or her team's court also outside the antennas.

    2 Except if a player blocks (touches a ball sent over the net by the opposing team, while reaching above the top of the net) a ball that stays in the blocker's side of the net. In such an instance the blocker may play the ball another time without violating the rule against playing the ball twice in succession. If the ball is touched during a block, that contact is not considered one of the team's three contacts.

    3 At the first hit of the team, the ball may contact various parts of the body consecutively provided that the contacts occur during one action. Also, when a player touches the ball on a block, he or she may make another play on the ball.

    4 Penetration under the net with hands or feet is allowed only if a portion of the penetrating hands or feet remains in contact with or directly above the player's court or centre line.[3]

    5 Screening is only a fault if the players stand directly next to each other in a way that clearly impedes vision, and the serve is a low line drive over their heads. (This is a judgment call by the referee. Teams are generally given a warning before being sanctioned for screening.):-)

  5. its a c**p game, thats a big fault

  6. There are too many to list here, access the link below:

  7. -You, yourself, are not allowed to hit the ball two times in a row.

    -Your team has three passes in order to get the ball over the net but you can do it in 1,2, or 3, just not anymore than that.

    -When serving your allowed one step over the serve line but your other foot may not cross it.

    -You can not use "lifts" in volleyball; anything below the waist where your hand pushes the ball up to try and keep in play.

    -You can not push the ball over the net, it must be some sort of volley or bump.

    -You must stay in rotation or else it counts as out of rotation and you lose your serve even if its not the person serving who's out of rotation.

    -If trying to hit from the back row, you must be behind the attack line.

    -The ball must completely be out of bounds for the ball to be out; if any part of the ball touches the line, it counts as a point because it was still in play.

    -You can not touch the net with any part of your body.

    -You can not have your foot underneath the net or else it counts as loosing possession.

    Can't really think of any more at the moment but hopefully those will do.
