Intramural 6 on 6 Volleyball Rules

Section 1 Intramural Policies and Procedures

Eligibility, protests, forfeits and concedes, conduct, appeal, and attire are covered in detail in the Intramural Policies and Procedures Manual.

Section 2 Number of Players

Each team may register any number of players unless otherwise deemed by the Recreation Coordinator. A team may play a game with as few as 4 players without defaulting. Players cannot be added to the roster after the conclusion of the regular season. Special consideration may be obtained from the Recreation Coordinator.

Section 3 Transfers and Additions

No player, having played for one team, shall play for any other team during the league’s schedule. Special consideration, however, may be given to players on a forfeited team and players on overcrowded teams. All transfers have to be approved by the League Manager or Recreation Coordinator. Players that have not played during the regular season are not allowed to play during the playoffs.

Section 5 Co-ed Rules

A team cannot play with less than 4 players on the court at one time. A team must have at least 1 person of each gender on the floor at all times. If a team is playing with 6 participants, the maximum number of males on the team cannot exceed 3. If a team has less than 6 players due to injury(ies), ejection(s) or absence(s), 1 person of each gender must remain on the floor at all times. If a team does not have 1 person of each gender on the floor, they will forfeit the game. Only a maximum of 3 male players may be on the floor at all times.

Section 6 Rotation Rule

When there are more than the 3 participants of one gender on one team, the players must rotate to ensure equivalent playing time. For instance, if there are 4 participants of one gender and 2 of another, the team will be playing with 5 players on the floor (as there must be a maximum of 3 people of each gender). The gender with 4 players must rotate off after they have served and lost possession of the ball.

Section 7 Sportsmanship

Teams and players are expected to exhibit sportsmanlike conduct throughout every contest. Delay of the game, obscene language or gestures, and arguing with the staff constitutes unsportsmanlike behaviour. Players may be penalized, ejected from the game, or possibly suspended from further games depending on severity.
