2002 Rule Changes
The following rule changes were adopted for play by the Carolina Region Adult and Junior Divisions at their Summer Retreat
to be used during the 2001/2002 season. The USA Volleyball Rules of the Game has adopted these rules for the 2001/2002
season and will be added to the 2001/2002 Rule Book. The following is a general description of some of the major rule
changes. The official rules will appear in the rule book which should reach the Regions in August. All the rule changes
will be added to our Officials Section when we receive them.
- Libero - teams will be able to designate a new Libero for each Game (it was for entire match this season). A box for
Libero will be added next to each game on the line-up sheet.
- The Libero and 12 team substitutions will be the rule (was presented as optional rule last year, although most
Regions including Carolina adopted it).
- Teams will be able to go to bench during coin toss before a deciding game (instead of waiting at end line).
- Teams will not have to go to end line before switching sides at the end of a game.
That seems to be most of the major rule changes! We will post the official wording on the web site when USAV sends them to us.
