Tripleball
Format:
Tripleball is the official competition format for all 13U Girls Volleyball BC events. The goal of tripleball is
to promote better skill development, participation, meaningful competition and fun. Standard Volleyball
rules apply with the following additions:
Sequence & Rotation:
a.) The game follows a sequence of three rallies (service, tossed ball 1, and tossed ball 2).
1st rally –
introduced by the server
2nd rally –
introduced by a tossed ball to the receiving team
3rd rally –
introduced by a tossed ball to the serving team
b.) The service alternates between teams after each three-ball sequence.
c.) A team must rotate and introduce a new server when it is their turn to serve.
d.) After each rally is complete, the ball must quickly be removed from the court so the next sequence can be
started. Both teams must allow enough time for the ball to be removed from the court before starting the next
sequence.
Scoring & Game Interruptions:
a.) Every ball introduced is worth one (1) point; a set can be won in the middle of a three ball sequence.
b.) Requests for time-outs during the three-ball sequence will be considered improper requests; time-outs
must be made before the introduction of a serve.
c.) Requests for substitutions during the three-ball sequence will be considered improper requests;
substitutions must be made before the introduction of a serve. If there is an injury, substitutions will be
allowed during the three-ball sequence.
The Toss:
a.) A head coach, assistant coach or a competent volunteer may be the “tosser” and will introduce the tossed ball into their own team.
b.) The “tosser”
can step into the court to introduce the ball, but must immediately move a safe distance
away from the court after the toss.
c.) Balls are tossed underhand, with two hands and little to no spin, above the height of the antennae to allow
athletes time to play the ball.
d.) The free ball will always be tossed directly to the athlete in position six (6) and behind the attack line,
otherwise a replay will occur.
e.) The free ball will be tossed once the front row players are at the net (ready to transition) and all athletes
have been verbally told that the ball is being
introduced,
“Free
Ball!”.
f.) Tossers encourage a fast paced transition between the end of a rally and the next toss.
Triple Ball Rules:
a.) Switching to a different position from your service order during a rally is NOT ALLOWED.
b.) Each rotation will have a different designated setter. The player in position #2 or #3 in service reception
will be the designated setter. This position must be noted on the score sheet by the coach
c.) Fair Play Rule: The same 6 players will remain on the court for the duration of the set. Players not
starting in the 1st set must start in the 2nd set. If there is a 3rd set, any player may start. Substitutions are
allowed during a match, but the intention is that substitutions will only occur if there is an injury.
d.) Athletes must take "freeballs” introduced by the tosser with a forearm pass, otherwise a replay will occur.
e.) The tossed ball cannot be sent over the net by the player in position six, otherwise a replay will occur.
