2014 Libero Jersey Contrast Rule

Beginning in the 2014-15 USAV season, the following verbiage will be used in regards to Libero jerseys contrasting with regular team jerseys.

As of SEPTEMBER 1, 2014, it is required that either the Libero or their teammates wear a solid color jersey. The solid color jersey must clearly contrast from the predominant color(s) of the teammates' jersey. Predominant colors are those that appear on approximately half of the body of the uniform jersey.

To be considered solid colored:

a.     Sleeves must be the same color as the body of the jersey

b.     Piping/trim not exceeding 1 inch in total at its widest point may be placed along the seams and may be a different color than the uniform jersey

c.     Lettering and collars can be a different color than the body of the jersey

Numbers must be a contrasting color and meet all other specifications in Rule 4.3.3 and associated USAV regulations

Rules Interpretation

Please see the attached document clarifying rules for the season.

Libero Serving Rule

The libero will be permitted to serve in only one rotation during each set.  For more information visit here.

U12 Step In - No longer in effect

The U12 Step In is no longer allowed.  The rational is that when the lightweight ball was introduced and provided an advantage for the U12's we were supposed to also discontiue the step in.  This is the year for that to occur.

Shared Warm-Up Rule

USAV, in conjuction with our insurance company, have issued a new rule that Shared Warm-ups are not allowed. When a team has the court the other team can not be doing ball handling.

Parent Participation During Warm-Ups

Parents may not be on the court during warm ups to retrieve the volleyballs unless they are USAV member and have had a background check.

U12 Match Officiating

A certified adult must officiate all U12 matches.
