players from each team are allowed on the court at a time. Classifications of the four players on the court must total no more than 8.0 points at one time. The action occurs on a regulation-sized basketball court with some minor changes.
A goal line at each end of the court measures eight meters.

A key area extends from the goal line and is 1.75 meters deep.

During the games team players pass a volleyball back and forth while advancing into the opponent's half court and then crossing over the goal line with the ball in one player's possession. While the offense is trying to advance the ball, the defense is trying to take it away and keep the opposing team from scoring. Certain restrictions apply in the key area. One restriction is that only three defensive players are allowed in the key, and if a fourth enters, a penalty can be assessed or a goal awarded. Another restriction is that an offensive player can only stay in the key area for ten seconds. Otherwise a turnover will be assessed.

BASIC RULES
A player has 15 seconds to advance the ball into the opponents half-court.
Fouls are assessed and penalties can include awarding of a goal, a timed penalty or a turnover.
A player with the ball has unrestricted pushes but must pass or dribble the ball every 10 seconds or a turnover is awarded.
