St. John Vianney Catholic Church

Family Life Center

Adult Coed Volleyball Program

The program is on Monday evenings 7 to 10pm. The program is for players with intermediate and advanced skill levels.

Program Format

Each night all players present at 7:15 will be divided into equally balanced teams of five to seven players.

3 teams: one court will be used for round-robin play, with games ending when one team has scored 15 points.

4 teams: two courts will be used and teams will rotate opponents at when game ends at 25 points.

5 or 6 teams: one of the resting teams will take the place of the first team to loose on either court. Games will end when one team has scored 15 points. If a team wins three games in a row, they become a resting team, and the team which lost stays on the court.

House Rules

• All players will abide by the facility rules posted in the gym.
• Players are expected to pass, set and hit the ball in accordance with USVBA rules or to the best of their ability.
• A ball that touches the walls or curtain is a dead ball counting as a side out or point.
• A ball that touches the ceiling or basketball backboards may be played provided that it has not crossed the net and the offensive team has an available hit on the ball.
• Any deliberate contact of the ball below the waist is a dead ball (no deliberate kicking the ball).
• A serve that touches the net inside the antennas is a good serve if it lands inbounds.
• To avoid injuries, players from the opposite side are encouraged to roll the ball on the floor to the server.
• No food or beverage is allowed in the gym except for water bottles/containers with a closed cap.
