This is the first taste of volleyball for primary school kids. We’ve modified the rules of volleyball to make it easy for all to get involved in this game.

This game is played on a badminton court, with a 1.8m net. Teams have 4 players on the court at a time, but we recommend teams of 6 players, with players rotating on and off the court.

The other major change is that contacts which are passed to a team mate may be caught and immediately thrown (rather than hit), with the contact that plays the ball over the net (usually the 3rd contact) MUST be hit. Referees  will be asked to encorage a quick second pass. Please progress your team to use the volleyball pass, set, hit skill as soon as they are able. 

We have made some rule modifications 

Years 3 & 4 now have up to 3 contacts (from 2) allowed to return the ball over the net. 1 catch , 1 throw and 1 hit.

• The service is made by the team who won the previous point. The server must be more than 1 metre from the net.

Years 5 & 6 - will be expected to play the normal 3 contacts - catch, pass, hit.. Encourage your players to move to a Pass, Set, Hit skill as soon as they are able.

 We will try and grade teams so the better skilled teams will  be grouped together.

Years 7 & 8 - will be expected to play the normal rules.

Ask our Court Manager if you need help with the rules. We have to be flexible depending on the skill level of those playing. Our aim is to have RALLIES. 

It's much more fun.
