Volleyball Voyage

Before the meeting: 

1. Become familiar with the rules to volleyball by watching “VOLLEYBALL for Kids | Basic Rules.” 
2. Find a gym court. Confirm the use of the court. Inform Cub Scouts, parents, and legal guardians of the time, date, and location of the meeting. 
3. Set up the volleyball court. 

During the meeting: 

1. Split Cub Scouts into two teams. 
2. Points are scored when the ball lands on the opponent’s court, or the opponent makes a mistake. A point is scored on every serve, regardless of which team served. 
3. Players must serve the ball from behind the back boundary line. The ball is tossed and struck with one hand over the net to the opponents. 
4. Each team has a maximum of three hits to return the ball to the opponent’s side. Hits usually consist of a bump or pass, set, and spike (or attack). The ball must be hit, not held or caught. Palming or carrying the ball is not allowed. 
5. A player cannot hit the ball twice in a row, except for blocking at the net. It must be cleanly hit with no prolonged contact. 
6. The ball is considered out if it lands outside the boundary lines. Players can hit the ball off the net, and it can still be in play. 
7. Players must rotate positions clockwise after winning the serve from the other team. 
8. A team wins a set by reaching 25 points first. If the score is tied at 24-24, the game continues until one team has a two-point advantage.
