Umpires...
This game is controlled by an umpire
whose scores and keeps the time. In
any sport there are close calls where
players will disagree, but remember
the umpire has been given a job to do,
and the umpires' decision is always
final. Any arguing with an umpire or
abuse directed at an umpire can result
in a point reduction, and then followed
by a send off.
The umpires are only human
too, and we hope that you will respect
their decision and we never have to
enforce the point reduction or the send
off rules.
The
Game...
Indoor Beach Volleyball (IBV) is a game
played by two teams on a sand covered
volleyball court surrounded by netting,
where the ball is played rebound off the
nets, with NO outs, therefore the ball
is live at all times.
The ball may be hit with
any part of the body above the waist (no
intentional head butting), but each side
is limited to three consecutive hits,
no player is allowed to make two consecutive
contacts.
Teams can only score a point
off their own serve.The game is controlled
by a determined time frame per game, the
team with the highest score at the end
of that time is deemed the winner, if
both teams finish on the same score at
the end of time a draw will result.

• In the case of mixed teams, there
must not be any more than three males
on the court for each team at one time.
• Substitutions are only allowed
during breaks between games of sets.
