Foot Fault
Stepping on or over the end line before contacting the serve. Under FIVB rules, no part of the server's foot may touch or cross the end line until after the ball is struck. Jump servers are particularly prone because their approach momentum pulls them forward.
Example
The line judge’s flag comes up, the R2 points, and the other bench gets a free point. Replays in college matches show a toe a frame early.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a foot fault in volleyball?
It is a service fault if you step on the baseline (or the extension that counts as the back line) before you hit the ball. The receiving team takes the point and the ball, same as a missed serve.
