In the game of volleyball, you will find rules on how the player is allowed to set up volleyball. It can be especially irritating when players constantly call for illegal contact with the ball. Being a coach is, without a doubt, stressful enough without having to regularly put up with a player who does this constantly.
In essence, there are two types of mistakes when it comes to placing or passing the ball: double contacts and lifts. You will discover conditions for the double contact rule; however, as you will see, you will not find exceptions to the lift. The beach volleyball rules and the indoor volleyball rules apply to the following examples. However, beach volleyball contains an exception.
Double contacts
A double contact made by a volleyball player on the initial touch is essentially legal. To illustrate, if the attacker hits the volleyball ball, the defending player could touch the ball twice in an effort to spike it. Double contact should not be called until contact is made after the first play on the ball. A different feasible scenario for a player making a genuine bunt is if the ball bounces off the forearm and then the shoulder. This is certainly acceptable as long as the player performs an “athletic movement” throughout the volleyball contact. Double contact will be called when a setter makes a mistake in placing the ball or passing the volleyball once more after the first contact. It’s easy to see double contact because the ball will come out of the player’s hands with a lot of spin and look awkward.
Elevators
Lifting the volleyball, which is essentially catching or throwing the ball, is not allowed throughout the game. There you will not find any exceptions to this rule. When a player or setter basically catches or throws the ball, that is a lift. The ball stops in the player’s hands and essentially has to be thrown. This is a so-called uprising and indoor volleyball players will probably never get away with it. a great example of this is when a setter tries to get the ball “below the belt”. The ball must be lifted above the shoulders for the setter to place it. This happens often and will always be called an elevator. Beach volleyball has different rules for this. The rules of beach volleyball allow the volleyball to rise slightly during adjustment. In fact, it appears that the setter catches the ball and throws it. However, for whatever reason, this is allowed in beach volleyball. No wonder it can’t be a total catch and release. It should be all in one movement. So in trying to set up exactly the same way indoors as the setters on the beach, the referee will probably blow the whistle every time. It’s funny, since you can often see setters who are clearly beach volleyball players.
