13.4 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HIT 

  13.4.1 The ball may touch any part of the body. 

  13.4.2  The ball must be hit, not caught or thrown. It can rebound in any direction.

      Exceptions

      a) In defensive action of a hard-driven ball. In this case, the ball can be held momentarily overhand with the fingers.  USAV 13.4.2.a   As well as doubled with the fingers

      b) If simultaneous contacts by the two opponents leads to a "held ball". 

  13.4.3 The ball may touch various parts of the body, only if the contacts take place simultaneously. 

      Exceptions

      a)  At blocking, consecutive contacts (Rule 18.4.2) by one or more blockers are authorized, provided that they occur during one action. 

      b)  At the first hit of the team, unless it is played overhand using fingers (exception Rule 13.4.2.a), the ball may contact various parts of the body consecutively, provided that the contacts occur during one action. 

 

 USAV 13.4.2/13.4.3:  Plays involving finger action require special attention.  If the play is defensive and reactive in nature, as in the case of a hard-driven ball, momentarily held or double-hit balls are not considered faults.  If the player decides/intends to employ finger action, as in the cases of off-speed hit defense or setting, the action must be “clean.”
