I assume "MS" is Middle School. We're talking girls who are, what, mostly 13 and 14?

If so, then what I highlighted above is not what I would consider part of "decent rules". I mean, c'mon! That's more appropriate for 8U Rec ball.

No argument there. It is their league rules though. This is a league that also uses a 7 foot net for boys and girls volleyball (they actually have boys Vb), and plays 8 minute quarters for basketball.
