Test Question 1

[bob jenkins]

So if it is supposed to be "above" -- can B block the ball twice? Or, is the second time (after the ball rebounds from the net) really the first hit?

[bbsbvb83]

If B3, in close proximity to the net, is still reaching above the height of the net when the ball rebounds from the net back into her chest, it would be considered a single attempt to block.

[FMadera]

Assuming B has yet to complete the block, is it really any different than blocking off the hands and rebounding into the head? Assuming it's part of one blocking action, I'd let this go.

[hiller]

In this situation and in regards to the second contact (the ball rebounding from the net into the chest during the block) it is irrelevant where the hands are at that specific time. If B3 is still in the act of blocking, multiple contacts as described are permitted and considered as part of the original blocking action.

Based on FIVB rules the situation described is "play on".

In NFHS...

In this situation (blocking scenario), if any part of the body is above the net while in close proximity of the net, it's a block.

Play on. No call. Next player (that isn't a blocker) is the first contact.
