Coed League Play
	The serving order and positions on the court at service shall be male and female alternated or vice-versa.  A team may list one specialized defensive player, “Libero” on the line-up sheet for each set.  A female Libero may only replace regular female players.  A male Libero may only replace regular male players. When the ball is played more than once by a team, a female player shall make at least one of the contacts.  Contact of the ball during blocking shall not constitute playing the ball.  There is no requirement for a male player to contact the ball, regardless of the number of hits by a team. There is no restriction preventing all three team hits from being made by female players.  Contact of the ball during blacking action does not count as one of the three team hits.  Therefore, after a block, a male player may play the ball back over the net as such contact would be considered the first team hit.

Playing Rules:
	The serving order and positions on the court at service shall be male and female alternated or vice-versa.  A team may list one specialized defensive player, “Libero” on the line-up sheet for each set.  A female Libero may only replace regular female players.  A male Libero may only replace regular male players. When the ball is played more than once by a team, a female player shall make at least one of the contacts.  Contact of the ball during blocking shall not constitute playing the ball.  There is no requirement for a male player to contact the ball, regardless of the number of hits by a team. There is no restriction preventing all three team hits from being made by female players.  Contact of the ball during blocking action does not count as one of the three team hits.  Therefore, after a block, a male player may play the ball back over the net as such contact would be considered the first team hit. A ball contacted more than once by a team, without a female player having contacted it, remains live and does not become an illegal hit until it fully crosses the plane of the net or is contacted by an opponent.
Uniform Rules:
	A player’s uniform consists of a jersey and shorts.  If undergarments (including, but not limited to T-shirts, boxer shorts, tights, leotards, body suits, bicycle shorts, sport bras, etc.) are worn in such a manner that they are exposed, they will be considered part of the uniform.  In that case, they must be similar and the same color for any team members who wear such a uniform. Uniforms must be similar and of the same color (short sleeve T-shirts, long sleeve T-shirts, and tank tops may be mixed).  The exception is the Libero, who must wear a uniform, shirt, or jacket whose color is in contrast to the uniform color of other players on the team. Players’ jerseys must be numbered from 1 to 99.  The number must be placed in the center on the back of the jersey.  On the front of the jersey, the number must either be centered or the top of the number must be no more than five inches (5”) down from the shoulder seam and the medial edge of the number be no more than three inches (3”) from the midline of the jersey.  Numbers must be placed so that they are clearly visible at all times. Uniform numbers must be of a different and contrasting color from the jersey with a minimum height of six inches (6”) on the front and eight inches (8”) on the back.  Each uniform jersey must use the same color and number height for all team members.  The stripe forming the numbers shall have a minimum width of three-quarters of an inch (3/4”). Uniform pants or shorts need only have the same solid color, regardless of style, cut, and trim.  Different manufacturers’ colors (for example, “navy” blue and “royal” blue) may NOT be mixed.  If specially patterned fabric is used, all pants must use the same fabric.  Differing logos and logo placements are acceptable unless the logo is a major part of the design.  Long pants of any style ARE acceptable as uniforms, but pants must be worn either completely above the knee or completely below the knee by the entire playing team.
