During play, any player whose foot crosses beneath the net commits a foot fault. A player’s feet are not permitted to cross the centerline between the two territories of the court, but sometimes, on accident, a player may cross the line with their feet while pursuing the ball or attempting to jump and block it from being passed over the net. This type of fault is typically committed by the front row of players on each team, those closest to the net. The second type of foot fault that can occur in volleyball is a foot fault over the centerline.
If a server accidentally touches or crosses the end line with their feet during a service, they will be called for a foot fault and receive a foul. The 2nd referee is positioned outside the playing court near the post and on the opposite side of the 1st referee. When serving the ball to the opposing team, the volleyball player who is positioned at the rear-right side of their team’s territory must step back into the service zone, just behind the end line, before serving the ball. During the serve, which typically involves stepping forward or jumping in order to strike the ball over the net, the server must remain in the service zone, and no part of their foot, even their toes, can touch or cross the end line. The 2nd referee is essentially the assistant to the 1st referee and can even replace the 1st referee during certain circumstances. The first form of foot fault is a foot fault committed during a serve.
