14U Season Information

 

 Coach

Head Coach: John Strong

 

14U - Specific rules

• Developmental Substitution Rules = "Fair Play" rules apply.
  • All players listed on the scoresheet must start the first or second set
  • Substitutions are not permitted in the first or second set:
  • In the case of injury/illness or disqualification, an Exceptional Substitution may be made.
  • The injured/ill player may not return to the same set but may return to play in subsequent sets
  • Any line-up can be used at the start of the third set
  • In the third set, 12 limited substitutions are permitted.
• Receiving the serve with an overhand motion using the fingers (volley/setting) is permitted (new in 2026)
• Teams are strongly encouraged to use offensive systems that utilize multiple setters (not 5-1 systems). 5-1 systems do not train enough setters, and we need to ensure clubs and coaches address this gap in our system.
• Teams are not permitted to use Liberos
• maximum of 12 players can be on the score sheet, in uniform, and participate in any given match.
  Teams may have a maximum of 15 players on the roster, participate in warmup, and sit on the bench
