RE: Pursuit Rule

Doug, first of all, welcome to the discussion Forum. I hope you will become a regular participant in our discussions.

In reference to your question, I am guessing that you are talking High School volleyball using NFHS rules. If so, the answer is no, there is no such thing as pursuit in NFHS Rules. Rule 9-3-3a applies:
Quote:
NFHS Volleyball Rule 9 - Section 3 Live And Dead Balls
ART. 3...A live ball becomes dead when:
a. The ball touches the net antennas or does not pass entirely between the net antennas and passes beyond the plane of the center line extension;
BTW, which state are you from - Alabama or Arkansas (both have AHSAA!!!)?

Hope I answered your question.
