Question: In high school volleyball, server tosses ball but catches ball or allows it to drop to the floor. Is this a loss of serve? Is this loss of rally/point awarded to other team or is a re-serve granted?
Answer: First referee will cancel initial attempt to serve and permit another chance to serve. (Rule 8, Sec. 1, Art. 5)
Question: Server is granted a re-serve as in above play and proceeds to serve four consecutive points on aces. On next service attempt, server again catches a bad toss. Is it legal for referee to grant a second re-serve?
Answer: Each player is granted only one re-serve during any one team’s term of service; hence, above server is penalized by loss of rally, with point and serve awarded to opponent. (Rule 8, Sec. 1, Art. 4 & 5)
