Just a quick question about what constitutes a hit (NFHS).

My understanding is that any contact with the ball above the waits (cept incidental contact with the hair and a block at the net) is a hit and will count towards one of the three allowable hits.

Situation: Ball is hit over the net, R1 "bumps" the ball and it ricochets off the arm of R2, the ball is then set by R3 and then sent over the net by R4.

4 hits or 3?

Thanks in advance.

If the contacts by R1 and R2 were not simultaneous, then it's 4 hits.

GitRDun, in your scenario, four distinct contacts = four hits. As Felix indicated, if the contacts by R1 and R2 were not simultaneous, they are counted as 2 hits (one by each player).

# of Hits

The contacts by R1 and R2 were not simultaneous: hit, ricochet, hit, hit. The ball traveled approximatley two feet between R1 and R2; so four hits, which is what I called.

I'm a new official and was at a Jr. High match and a couple of people disagreed with the four hit call, and since I was the only official I didn't have anybody to confer with at the time.

Thanks for the replies.

4 hits. And rest assured there will ALWAYS be a couple of people who disagree with you regardless of what you call.
