U12-U14 Rules


Net height 2m10.

(i) By the end of the third set, every player must have played for one complete set, i.e. they must have played from the beginning to the end of a set, without being substituted. A player that is substituted must play another complete set i.e. from the beginning to the end of a set, without substitution.
(ii) In U14 Volleyball games, players must report to the Scorer's table at the beginning of every set for the purpose of recording their numbers on the score sheet. Both coaches must report to the Scorer's table before the third set commences for the purpose of ensuring that their team has adhered to the rules governing substitutions and minimum playing time.
(iii) It is not permitted to use the ‘libero’ position.
(iv) A net serve is allowed.
If a team or coach does not adhere to the substitution rules, they will automatically forfeit the game by 0 sets to 3 and by 0 points to 75 (or by 0 sets to 2 and 0 points to 50 in a game played to the best of 3 sets).
(v) Length of Game: Matches shall be decided by the best of five sets with each set being scored to 25 points using the rally-point system, except the fifth set which shall be scored to15 points. The only exception to this rule is the Plate Competition on the final day of a tournament where matches will be played as the best of 5 sets all scored to 15 points. In all matches, a team must win by two clear points in each set.

(vii) Interval time of 2 minutes should be allowed between sets.
(viii) Starting line-ups should be given to the Scorer complete with uniform numbers and starting court positions.
