B) Illegal attack fault on the setter
C) Over-the-net fault on the blocker

legal since the ball stayed on the setter's side for a teammate to play
next. The blocker's fault takes precedence.
Question 2
A back-row setter jumps to set a second ball above the height of the
net and double-contacts the ball directly into the hands of a blocker
after the ball has entered the plane of the net. What is the correct
ruling?
A) Double contact fault on the setter
B) Illegal attack fault on the setter
C) Over-the-net fault on the blocker
D) Legal play
Answer: B
Explanation: The setter commits an illegal attack fault as soon as the
ball is legally contacted by the opponent. This fault takes precedence
over the double contact fault. The distinguishing factor from the
previous situation is that the ball had entered the plane of the net
before contact with the blocker.

describes the new rule regarding multiple contacts on the second team
hit?
A) Multiple contacts on any team hit are always illegal

B) Multiple contacts on the second team hit are legal if the ball is next
contacted by a teammate
C) Multiple contacts on the second team hit are always legal
D) Multiple contacts on the second team hit are legal only if the setter
makes the contact
Answer: B
Explanation: Rule 9-4-8c was added to eliminate the judgment call of a
multiple contact fault on the second team hit if the ball is next
contacted by a teammate. This allows play to continue when multiple
contacts do not create an advantage for the offending team.

the use of which type of volleyball?
A) Smooth leather volleyball only
B) Non-smooth or textured volleyball

Explanation: Rule 3-2-1 NOTE (NEW) permits state associations to adopt
the use of a non-smooth or textured volleyball beginning with the 2026-
27 school year. This allows either boys or girls to adopt a textured
volleyball with no restrictions on color or shape of panels.

team members other than the libero must wear the same color
