TIME CHANGE:
Starting this year for indoor leagues, we will be moving the times for games from 1:10 to 1 hr game times. Indoor games normally move at a faster pace than outdoor, and this will shift up some of the later game times by 20-30 minutes so we are not finishing as late. With this new institution, we will be more strict on time, which means if your game is running behind the 3rd set will have to be played to 15 points. Please make sure to be ready to start at your playing time, especially those starting on the first games of the evening, all games need to start within 10 minutes of the scheduled time.
SUNDAYS & FRIDAYS NEW LEAGUE FORMAT:
Starting this year, we will be introducing new formatted leagues to Sunday and Friday nights, with the availability to play twice in one night. This will be first come first serve, so we recommend signing up as soon as possible on these nights. Here is what the new leagues will look like:
FRIDAYS (All Leagues Limited to 8 Teams, game times PM)
7:00 & 8:00 Game Times: 6×6 Coed Rec
7:00 & 8:00 Game Times: 6×6 Coed Int
9:00 & 10:00 Game Times: 6×6 Coed Rec
9:00 & 10:00 Game Times: 6×6 Coed Int
SUNDAYS (Game Times are PM)
6:00: 6×6 Coed Rec (limited to 8 teams)
7:00 & 8:00 Game Times: 6×6 Coed Rec
7:00 & 8:00 Game Times: 6×6 Coed Int
AS ALWAYS, CHOOSE THE NIGHT YOU WANT TO PLAY, WE WILL EMAIL YOU A START TIME FOR THE FIRST WEEK. PLEASE NOTE, THE TIMES LISTED FOR EACH NIGHT ARE ESTIMATED START TIMES. DEPENDING ON THE NIGHT, WE DON’T NORMALLY HAVE TOO MANY “LATE GAMES”, BUT IT’S POSSIBLE DUE TO THE NUMBER OF TEAMS PARTICIPATING.
Centerline offers 2 indoor leagues each year: Winter session I starting around the end of October and Winter session II beginning in early to mid January. As with sand volleyball, we have a variety of leagues including 6×6 Coed Recreational, 6×6 Coed Intermediate, and 6×6 Womens’ Competitive. Both sessions run for 10 weeks and the cost is $300 per 6×6 team.
Indoor volleyball is a faster game than sand volleyball but presents a different challenge and is a nice change of pace for those that play sand year after year. As with our sand leagues, we also provide “Championship” t-shirts to the winners of each league. The #1 goal is to have fun, but its nice to get something more than just a pat on the back for winning. We offer a league for every skill level, if you are new to Centerline, please call or email us as we can help guide you to the most appropriate league.
INDOOR RULES FOR ALL LEAGUES:
ON COED LEAGUES, EACH TEAM IS LIMITED TO NO MORE THAN 3 GUYS PLAYING AT ANY TIME. IT IS OK TO PLAY WITH MORE GIRLS THAN GUYS. FOR EXAMPLE, A TEAM COULD PLAY WITH 2 GUYS AND 4 GIRLS.
GUY/GIRL RULE- IF THE BALL IS HIT MORE THAN ONCE ON YOUR SIDE OF THE COURT, A GIRL MUST BE AT LEAST ONE OF THE HITS BEFORE IT GOES BACK OVER THE NET.
OVERHAND SERVE RULE (DOES NOT APPLY TO THE WOMENS LEAGUE OR 6X6 & 4X4 COMPETITIVE LEAGUES)- IF A PLAYER SERVES 3 CONSECUTIVE OVERHAND SERVES, THE NEXT SERVE MUST BE UNDERHAND. IF THAT SERVE RESULTS IN ANOTHER POINT FOR THE SERVING TEAM, THE PLAYER CAN THEN SERVE ANOTHER 3 OVERHAND SERVES, THEN UNDERHAND, AND SO ON.
NET SERVES- SERVES THAT HIT THE TOP OF THE NET AND GO OVER ARE IN PLAY JUST LIKE ANY OTHER TIME DURING THE MATCH. IF THE BALL DROPS ON THE OPPOSING COURT, IT IS A POINT FOR THE SERVING TEAM.
ANY PART OF THE BODY IS LEGAL TO CONTACT THE BALL, AS LONG AS ITS A SINGLE CONTACT.
YOU CANNOT BLOCK OR ATTACK A SERVE. THIS SHOULD BE OBSERVED BY BOTH RECREATIONAL AND COMPETITIVE LEAGUES.
ALL GAMES ARE PLAYED TO 25 POINTS, RALLY SCORING. IF THE 1 HOUR ALLOTED TIME IS ALMOST ELAPSED, CENTERLINE RESERVES THE RIGHT TO LIMIT THE 3RD GAME TO 15 POINTS. EACH TEAM WILL PLAY 3 GAMES PER NIGHT REGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME OF THE FIRST 2.
THERE ARE NO REFS, ALL CALLS HAVE TO BE MADE BY THE TEAMS PLAYING. IF A CALL IS QUESTIONABLE, REPLAY THE POINT.
THE WINNING TEAM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR TURNING IN SCORES. A SCORESHEET IS KEPT BY THE BAR TO RECORD THE SCORES.
TEAMS ARE EXPECTED TO START GAMES BY THEIR POSTED TIME FOR ALL LEAGUES. ANY TEAM NOT ON THE COURT WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF THE START TIME WILL HAVE TO FORFEIT THE FIRST GAME.
These are the basic rules for Centerline. For more specific rules, please reference the USA Volleyball rulebook:
