Pro Footvolley Tour follows, for the most part, the official set of rules of the United States Footvolley Association.  Just the NBA has certain rules which make basketball more appealing to watch than say college basketball, the Pro Footvolley Tour has added some special rules which make footvolley on a professional level more exciting to both play and watch.

Basic Rules

Essentially footvolley is nearly identical to beach volleyball except with one fundamental difference:
- no use of the hands or arms (instead the use of the feet, chest, head, and shoulders is used)

Touches on the ball:

In footvolley, each side has a maximum of 3 touches.

Playing Area:

The footvolley court dimensions are 59 FT by 29 FT 6 Inches (18M x 9M).  This is same size Beach Volleyball used in the past.  There should be an area surrounding the playing surface, for players chasing balls, set at 20 feet from the ends of the court and 10 feet from the sides.

Height of the Net:

Men's Court:       The Footvolley net should be set at 7' or 2.15 meters.
Women's Court:  The Footvolley net should be set at 6' 6" or 2 meters.

In Game Rules:

• Maximum of three hits per side
• Player may not hit the ball twice in succession
• Ball may be played off the net during a volley and on serve
• A ball touching a boundary line is good; ball touching the antenna is OUT
• A legal hit is contact with the ball by any part of the body, except the hand or arm, which does not allow the ball to visibly come to a rest
• If two or more players contact the ball simultaneously, it is considered TWO TOUCHES

• Failure to serve the ball over the net successfully
• Touches of the net with any part of the body while the ball is in play
• Reaching under the net (if it interferes with the ball or opposing player)
• The use of the arm or hand is illegal.  The outside and top of shoulder may be used IF THE arm is rested against the body when initiating the hit on the ball.

Pro Footvolley Tour Super Points:

A super point is scored when a player strikes a winning shot with his/her feet, or leg, while he/she has BOTH feet off the ground.  This type of score will count as 2 points.  A team can score a maximum of 4 super points per set.  In addition, after a super point the team can decide to apply the super points at that moment or wait to score in similar fashion to have those points applied later instead.
