rev...read the definition of a block in 9-5-1c:

Quote:
Rule 9-5-1
c. Block – the action of a player(s) close to the net that deflects the ball coming from the opponent by reaching higher than the top of the net at the moment of contact.
Please note that the location of the ball is not considered in determining whether it is a block or not as Felix posted in #2. If the player is above the top of the net in close proximity, it would be a block, not first contact.
