Find private volleyball coaches in Arcata

The 3-hit rule is one of the core principles every volleyball player needs to understand.

• The basic principle: a team is allowed a maximum of 3 contacts with the ball per rally before returning it.
• The typical sequence: most teams follow a bump, set, attack sequence to maximize their offensive options.
• Block contacts: a block at the net does not count as one of the three allowed touches.
• Violations: a 4th touch by the same team is an automatic fault and gives the point to the other side.

A volleyball coach can help you master these rules and apply them with confidence during drills.
