2008 NCAA RULE CHANGES Fans will notice evidence of several rule changes being implemented for the upcoming 2008 volleyball season. A few significant changes are as follows (courtesy of the AVCA):

TERMINOLOGY The term “game” has been changed to “set”. A match will still continue to consist of best three-out-of-five set victories.

POINTS REQUIRED TO WIN A SET Instead of 30 points, the number of points needed to win sets ONE through FOUR is now 25 (must win by two point). Fifteen points (with two-point advantage) is still the requirement to win the deciding FIFTH set, if necessary.

SUBSTITUTIONS Each team is now allowed a maximum of 12 substitutions per set.

COACHES POSITION When the ball is in play, coaches will be asked to stay at least 1.75 meters from the court’s sideline. An imaginary line perpendicular to the outside edge of the extended attack line indicates this distance. If a coach doesn’t comply, the referees may assess a team delay sanction.

BALL HANDLING DECISIONS In recent years, referee training has emphasized focusing on the player’s contact point with the ball, and not allowing outside influences, such as spin after release, to influence ball handling decisions.

A 2008 point of emphasis regarding the second team contact (usually a set attempt) now instructs referees to only call multiple contacts that are obvious enough to be readily seen, and to be less severe when judging extremely athletic plays.
