- Players must have one foot against the rear wall, prior to the initial rush for the balls.
- During the initial rush for the balls, or at any other time a player crosses the "Center Court Line" they could be called out by the official.
- During the initial rush for the balls, a player that possesses a ball must return his ball to the "Back" line before the ball can be thrown at a defender. At no other time in a match does this apply.
- If a player is hit directly in the head, by a ball thrown by a defender on the other team they are not "out". However if the thrown ball is deflected off of another part of the said players body, or if they are in a "ducking" motion and they "duck" into the ball THEY ARE OUT.
- If a player is deemed "OUT" by the official, that call is final. Official's decisions will only be overturned by another official who had a better angle of a play. Coaches will be our officials.
- When a player is called out by the official, they are to exit the playing area via the side court, and go to their bench area. They are not to hang out by the back wall or stage or the back court area of their side of the court.
- Once a player is called out and they report to their bench area, a player is only permitted to renter the game if one of their teammates that are still in the game catches a ball thrown by a defender, and they must renter in the order that they were called out by the officials.
- At no time during the play of a match are players allowed to "hang out" or stay in the area between the back court line and the wall or stage. They must stay on the court side of the back line, the side lines and of course the center court line, at all times during play. If this rule is continuously abused by a player or players they could be called out.
- A player will be called out, if they are hit by a ball thrown by a defender and that player does not catch the ball. A player will be called out, if a defender catches a ball thrown by that player.
- If a player is using a ball to deflect any balls thrown by a defender and that player looses the ball during a deflection attempt, as a result of the thrown ball hitting the held ball. The player that was holding the ball is deemed out.
- During play when teams get reduced down to minimal players, teams are not allowed to
hoard the balls on their side of the court. Attempts need to be made to equal out the amount of balls that teams have. [Do not throw balls across the court at this point just simply roll them to the other side] and any other item(s) associated with dodgeball can be approved by the commissioner and the WJYAA Board.
