6.5.1 Reaching beyond the net

A checked version of this page, approved on 17 July 2022, was based on this revision.

Notice

The following examples are intended to illustrate reaching beyond the net faults. Typical game scenes are used as examples.

Situation 1:
A player, usually the setter, tries to play a ball that is above the top of the net or already in the opponent's airspace back.

It is important where the contact ball with the ball happens. If it happens (partly) in the opponent's space, a fault is committed.
