I have a similiar question. Team A hits the ball hard across the net. Player on Team B recieve, but the ball hits off her arms, then comes off her arms and smacks into her face. The ball goes up and Team B hits the ball over the net for a point. Is this type of "double hit" allowed when it is first contact? Also, does it matter if it is a serve or a kill?
FED changed this rule last year for HS VB to match the NCAA and USA rulesets. Multiple contacts on the first ball over the net are allowed as long as they are not intentional and as long as there is no "finger action" using a setting motion. The multiple contacts count as the team's first contact unless it is a block. If finger action is used in a setting motion, multiple contact is a violation.
