Be the Referee: Minimum Number of Volleyball Players

Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.

Below is this week's segment – Minimum Number of Volleyball Players - Listen

We’re on the volleyball court today, where the home team starts the match with only six players.

Midway through the first set, one of those six players suffers an ankle injury and can’t continue – leaving the home team with just five players.

What should happen?

Is the home team forced to default the match for not having enough players?

Does the home team just continue playing with five?

Or do they continue playing with five, but with the loss of rally or point every time the player lost to injury’s position rotates to serve?

If you said they can continue playing but lose a rally or point every time the injured player’s position rotates to serve, you are correct!

A minimum of six is needed to start – but you can finish a match with fewer than that.
