for returning the ball. If more are used, the team commits the fault of<br />

9.1.1 CONSECUTIVE CONTACTS<br />
A player may not hit the ball two times consecutively 9.2.3, 14.2,<br />
14.4.2<br />
(except <strong>Rules</strong> 9.2.3, 14.2 and 14.4.2).<br />
9.1.2 SIMULTANEOUS CONTACTS<br />
Two or three players may touch the ball at the same moment.<br />
9.1.2.1 When two (or three) team-mates touch the ball simultaneously, it is<br />
counted as two (or three) hits (with the exception of blocking). If they<br />
reach for the ball, but only one of them touches it, one hit is counted. A<br />
collision of players does not constitute a fault.<br />
9.1.2.2 When two opponents touch the ball simultaneously over the net and<br />
the ball remains in play, the team receiving the ball is entitled to another<br />
three hits. If such a ball goes “out”, it is the fault of the team on the<br />
opposite side.<br />
