The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.

During the jump ball, A5 and B5 both tap the ball at the same time.  The ball pops up into the air where it is tapped by A5 again.  A5 then taps the ball once more directing it to A1.

Handle the situation.


This play stresses the importance of being alert when the game is about to start.

This is a violation.  Jumpers are not permitted to tap the ball more than twice.  The ball should be awarded to Team B for a designated spot throw-in at the spot out of bounds nearest to where the ball was tapped a third time.
