NCAA Volleyball

[Grrrrller87]

Your title is NCAA volleyball, so I assume that is the ruleset that you were officiated under, if you were called for this, then either your player was close enough to a player from the other team that it presented a safety hazard, or they made contact with a player on another court, or they didn't remain "on or over" the line.

What is the difference in NFHS and NCAA relative to the center line?

[FMadera]

A player may touch the floor across the center line with one or both feet/hands provided a part of the foot/feet or hand(s) remains on or above the center line. Contacting the floor across the center line with any other part of the body is illegal.

Basically, as G87 indicated, in NCAA, you can cross beyond the center line with any part of the body provided there is no safety hazard and there is a part of the body on or above the center line.

In NFHS, anything other than the hand or foot beyond the center line is illegal, period. If it's a hand or foot beyond the center line, part of it has to be on or above the line.

We started competing in small college athletics this season. Most of the officials available are NFHS officials. The NCAA Basketball rules have an appendix that clearly lists the major differences; I have not been able to find that in volleyball.

Could you list the major differences?
