Volleyball Registration / League Rules

In order to gain entry into the league, Captains' or their representative must register the team by paying their individual registration fee. Following this, captains' are required to submit, without delay, their team roster using the On-Line Roster Form located on the league web page. Once the team is registered into the league, the rest of players will need to register individually before the noted registration deadline. *A late registration fee ($5.00) will apply after the deadline.

           The Concordia Intramural Volleyball League (CIVL) is a co-ed league that includes three                    different levels of play: intermediate, advanced recreational and advanced competitive.      

            Our league is open to all participants, although priority will be given to Concordia students.

            The spirit of the league is to provide its participants with a positive recreational experience

            incorporating sportsmanship, fair play and mutual respect between players. There are no

            referees; therefore the rules are expected to be honored by each individual player.

            Opposing teams are expected to call violations. If a disagreement occurs then the point will

            be replayed. Only registered players will be allowed to play. Random I.D. checks will be

            conducted by staff in order to ensure player eligibility.

1. ** To ensure equal opportunity, teams and players are NOT allowed to register for more than one league or skill division. However, if space and availability permits, teams/individuals may seek the consent of the league and/or coordinator to waive this stipulation.

   REGISTRATION DEADLINE Monday.Jan16th * After this deadline, a $5.00 late registration fee will apply.

   REFUNDS

   Full refunds are granted within seven days (7) of registration and payment. Exception: Captains' will not be refunded their registration fee if a team withdraws from a sport league, whether from voluntary withdrawal or through administrative decision involving suspension or expulsion.

2. Team captains will introduce themselves to the coordinator prior to the start of the evening and must report game results at the end of each game. Team captains are the only players who can consult with the coordinator on issues concerning rules or game rules.
3. Games will consist of a running time of approximately thirty minutes. Teams may play up to two games in the allotted time. Games are normally played to 25 points, winners must lead by two and a cap will be set at 35 points. If teams do not reach the score of 25, whoever is in the lead at the time the whistle is blown will be declared the winner. For the second game, a team must amass at least fifteen points for the game to count and whoever is in the lead at the time of the whistle will be declared the winner. If there is a tie at the time of the whistle, the next point will determine the winner.
4. Teams must be prepared to play at their allotted game time. Teams have no more than 10 minutes past their scheduled game time to field a minimum of 4 players (3 players for advanced competitive) or a win by default will be given to the opposing team. If both teams are absent, the game will be considered a loss for both. No default game will be rescheduled. Games will not extend outside the allotted time, unless authorized.
5. Teams must have a minimum of seven registered players, and two spares.
6. One of the seven registered players on a team must be of the opposite sex. A player of the opposite sex must remain on the court at all times. Otherwise, a team will be required to play short handed. If your team cannot field a player of the opposite sex, you will be allowed to play with 3 players only if the other team has less than 6 players, but you can play with 4 if the other team has 6 players. Advanced competitive teams are restricted to 3 players of the same sex, regardless as to the other team’s number of players.
7. Each team will be afforded one time-out per game. Duration: 30 seconds.
8. Any player who plays more than two nights for any one team will be considered a roster player, and obliged to pay the full registration fee.

9. ** NEW** Each team captain will be issued 6 Passes which will entitle them to use a spare for each pass. A spare is defined as an individual who is not on the team’s roster.

   Teams may make use of up to 6 spare players without charge.

   Once this limit is reached, any additional use of spare players must follow the policy regarding the use of spare players outlined below.

           Spare players will be required to pay the appropriate day pass fee before the game. Spare              players must present their DayPass to the game official before the start of the match. Spares

           are not eligible for playoffs.      

         

 

1. Captains are responsible for ensuring that all equipment is properly set up or put away by their team members on designated days. Set up should be completed by ten minutes after start time and take down should begin five minutes before end time.
2. Playoff eligibility will depend on a minimum of four nights’ attendance and registration as roster players. Players who have not paid the full registration fee will not be allowed to play during playoffs.
3. Men are not allowed to block women. However it should be noted that if the ball does not touch the blocker, it is not considered a block.
4. Teams can take substitutes from either outside the league, from another team in another section, or from a team in their own section (if from the same section, both teams must agree on substitutes).
5. Intermediate teams can field a maximum of two players from the advanced section.
6. There is only one toss on the serve, failure to serve the ball over the net after one toss will result in a loss of serve and a point for the other team.
7. The ball may touch the net on the serve.
8. Players are allowed one foot over the service line due to the lack of space in the gymnasium. This rule is only applied when all three courts are set up.

** ALL captains' must disclose the contents of the waiver noted below to ALL players on their respective teams' prior to the start of the season and/or any game involving spare players. **
