This will ensure proper communication with the referees. Only the head coach is allowed to move, all assistants and trainers must remain seated on the bench. The Libero rule is in use at all other levels of play including Volleyball Canada Age Class competition. Substitutions must be ready and near the coach at the time of the request or a delay warning may be given and the sub disallowed. At competition where a Libero is used teams are allowed 6 subs per set.
Teams are to be off the court during the full time-out unless both teams are ready.
Net Serve - The ball may touch the net on serve and play continue. Now that rally point is being used, it gives the serving team something back, where last year these few rallies would cost the server a point. Rally Point - Games are to 25 points, must win by 2. In a deciding set the games are to 15 points. In all games each rally counts as a point.
