Joust
A ball both teams play at the same time above the net. Play continues. If you push it onto their floor, you score. If it comes back to your side, your team has three hits to use. Pulling or pushing the net while you fight for the ball is a fault.
Example
A tight set pops off the net. The setter and the other team's middle blocker both get a hand on it above the tape. The middle's hand wins, and the ball drops on the setter's side.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a joust in volleyball?
Both teams contact the ball together over the net, and the rally stays alive. Whoever the ball goes to next plays it. In beach doubles you see the same fight, with both players up at the tape.
