Reach Beyond the Net

Situation:
A player tries to set (or attack) a ball that is already in the air space of the other team.

It is not important where the ball as a whole is but only where the part of the ball is that is touched by the player. Even if part of it happens in the airspace of the opponent, a fault has to be called.

Situation:
A player tries to set a ball played close to the net. An opponent jumps and touches the ball.

The blocker contacts the ball in the opponents' space while or before the opponent plays the ball.

Situation:
The ball is set towards the net. Although the ball has already (partially) crossed the plane of the net, the attacker spikes the ball. A fault only occurs, if the contact with the ball occurs in the airspace of the opponent.
