The 2024 NCAA women’s volleyball season will come with a new rulebook. On Feb. 20, the NCAA published several rule changes for all divisions, the most notable being that double contacts are now allowed on sets.
Double contacts are called when a player contacts the ball twice in a row, typically when the ball contacts a player’s hands at different times during an overhead pass, or a set. Previously, double contacts were only allowed for the first contact after the serve, but players contacting the second ball are now allowed to do this, so long as the ball is played to a teammate in a single attempt.
