Approved Corrections to 2005 Rules Book - Part I

[MCBear]

At the moment, there have been three corrections to the 2005 NFHS Volleyball Rules Book approved by the NFHS Volleyball Rules Committee:

* Rules Book, Page ii - 2005-06 Volleyball Rules Changes: 6-3-2 The libero: Change "Must" in second bullet point to "May" - "May enter..."
......................which is also reflected in...................
* Rules Book, Page 26 - 6-3-2-b. Change "Must" to "May": "May enter..."

* Rules Book, Page 30 - 8-2-6-a.1., 2., 3.: Change "(Signal 13, Ball Lands Inbounds)" to "(Signal 6, Net Foul or Net Serve)" - aligns NFHS with NCAA and USAV mechanics.

* Rules Book, Page 45 - POINTS OF EMPHASIS: Overlapping - delete "provided at least one of the feet of the center back player is closer to the backline." - overlaps between front row players and back row players do not reference the endline of the court.

There are others that will be coming, but they have to go through channels to be approved for correction and change.


In addition, we were told that there is a multi-colored ball out there somewhere that has been released from the manufacturer with the NFHS authenticating mark on it. You may encounter some coaches who have that ball and want to use it for a game ball. Hopefully you will not allow it! Rule 3-2-1 takes precedence over the mark on the ball - i.e., "The ball shall be spherical with a laceless molded cover of 12 or more pieces (all of which shall be white)..."

More later as changes and corrections become available.
