Funk Receational Leagues rules and guidelines
* This first season we'll have just one inclusive "Here For The Beer" division.
As we grow, we want to offer 2 levels - Spikers Level 1 (upper) that will allow spiking and not require rotation of players, more competitive and Starters (beginner) that requires rotation and has only upward arc hits over the net, gntler competition for players learning basic skills and ball control.
Recreational Coed 4-5-6 man
- Teams of 4 or 5 on the sand need 1 female minimum on the sand. *A team may play with three men + a missing player if needed in a pinch.
- Teams of 6 on the sand need 2 females on the sand.
- Team rosters may be as large as needed and teams may play games with more than 6, rotating players in.
Minimal rules enforced in Rec leagues
for safety, basic fairness and to keep it on the rails:
- Net contact = play over, point for the opponent. This rule is essential for safety.
*This means any net contact - there is no such thing as "reasonable net contact".
- Contact with opponents under the net is a point for them. This rule is essential for safety.
- Teams must rotate all players into new positions each time a new server is up for the team.
*Back row players may not spike the ball down during their back row rotation - only hits up and over.
*Players may not use the indoor swap tactic to change position as the ball is served.
- No attacking the serve *Attacking is blocking the serve or spiking it back down from above the horizontal plane of the net.
- A block attempt touch on the ball does NOT count as one of a team's three allowed ball contacts.
- Although we do not call "throwing the ball" (directing it with fingers) in Rec ball, players may not Throw the ball Down for a point.
"Throwing" is not called when it is a pass to a teammate or is an upward shot over the net.
A Thrown ball down is simply played over - no penalty but no point given either.
