  4. Players may use any serve with the exception of the jump/spike serve.
  5. There is a five-service maximum rule before the team must rotate.
  6. Players may accept the serve with either a forearm or a face pass.
  7. Players should approach the bench on a time out, i.e. leave the court area.
  8. As per Canadian Volleyball Association (CVA) regulations, players are permitted to serve anywhere along the baseline.
  9. As per CVA regulations, players are not called on an incidental net violation if they are not involved in the play.
  10. A ball may be played if it crosses the centre line, outside the standard, provided it is played back along a similar path (remaining outside the antennae).
  11. Only a hand that completely crosses the centre line (from the wrist forward) is in violation.

  5. Teams must wear common uniforms (shirt and shorts). Referees are asked to approach a coach with what they consider to be a violation. It is then the coach’s responsibility to amend the violation. This should be done immediately but if this is not possible, it should be done prior to the next scheduled tournament.
