Fair Play
The Fair Play rule applies to 13U and 14U age categories. The rule will be applied all season including Nova Scotia Championships and National Championships.
The rule was adopted in 2014 and can be found in the Volleyball Canada rulebook.
Fair Play:
- The fair play rule will be applied to the 13U and 14U age categories for both boys and girls.
- All players listed on the score sheet must start the first or second set.
- Substitutions are not permitted in the first or second set. In the case of injury, 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.
- Any line up can be used at the start of the third set. Teams are strongly encouraged to distribute playing time among all players on the team. Substitution requests can only occur between a three-ball sequence.
- Teams switch sides in the third set once a team reaches 8 points. If this occurs during a three-ball sequence then the switch will be made after the sequence is complete.
The rule is intended to provide young players with an opportunity to play and develop while also helping to keep them in the sport as a lack of playing time is consistently cited as a primary reason for children leaving a sport.
