Let Serve
A serve that nicks the top band but still goes over. FIVB, NCAA, NFHS, and most club rules keep it in play, so the ball is live, not a do-over. The net kill changes the drop; smart servers who float can use the tape to shorten a ball to zone 2 if passers are cheating deep.
Example
A net cord pulls the float down in front of a seam that thought it had depth. The ball bounces in before anyone moves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a let serve legal in volleyball?
Yes. FIVB brought that rule years ago, NCAA followed, and high school in the U.S. is on the same page. If it clears and lands in, play on; if it dies in the net, it is a service error.
