Specific to Cubs Cubs play with 8 players on the court at a time. Usually 4 in the front row and 4 in the back row. 5 players constitute a legal team. Less than that, a team will register a forfeit. However, in order for a team to win by way of a forfeit, they must be present and ready to go with at least 5 players in their scheduled gym and at their scheduled game time.
Cub players can have one assist from another player on the serve.
The assisting player may bump it or set it over the net. If the serve does not go over even with the assist, the ball goes over to the other team for a side-out. The most consecutive serves by any one server are 4 in a row. If a player successfully makes 4 good serves, the ball stays on that side but the team will rotate to the next server and the possession continues until that server makes 4 serves and the team rotates again or a foul is committed and the other team gets the ball. We don t encourage using a set to return the serve, but it is legal at this level.
