The rules of the game have CHANGED...

The NCAA has changed the rules of the game for volleyball in a couple ways:

• Games will be played to 25, instead of 30

• Substitutions will go from 15 to 12

• Many hand calls will be eliminated
  

"The 25-point sets will add an intensity and excitement level to our matches that has been missing," Marcia Alterman of the Women's Volleyball Rules Committee said Thursday. "I believe that players, coaches and fans will agree that the critical nature of every point will emphasize the need for focus and consistency to every play."

Their reasoning behind the change is so that college play matches international play. So now people are really going to play dirty with all these changes that are going to change the intensity of the game, or now newly named "set" .

This great for Florida Atlantic Volleyball, why? Because we already have the advantage of having so many beaches at our disposal. Other teams in the north will have to struggle to find facilities with beach courts.
