A block is considered a block, not a hit. The difference is whether you are swing your arms to make contact with the ball or not. If your swinging it's considered a hit, but if you just jump up to block the ball then you are allowed to hit it again and are still allowed 3 hits.

A block is considered a block in the stats, and on the court. One can block the ball, have it still end up on their side of the court, and have 3 hits after the touch off the block. A block is its own entity, if you will. It doesn't count for anything other than a block.

No, it would not be a hit, because a hit you hit after being set to with special footing. A block is blocking the other team from getting the ball onto your side of the court.

No, it doesn't count as a hit. That is why when person blocks it they yell tip to tell everyone that they touched it and they didn't hit it as a count of one of their 3 hits. The person who blocked the ball can hit the ball right after they block it even though it usually doesn't work like that.

A block is not a hit. It doesn't take away from your 3 hits, when you block the ball.

A block contact is not counted as a team hit. Consequently, after a block contact, a team is entitled to three hits to return the ball.

no, you can still touch the ball 3 times on your side. Another crazy rule is that if you block, and lets say it is a soft block and goes straight up in the air, you can land and play the ball again so essentially you are touching it 2 different times. However, if your first touch isn´t a block then it would be a fault.

a block is not a hit.unless you are swinging Ur arms to hit the ball to the other side of the net. a block is when u just bring Ur hand and arms above the net to prevent to ball to come on to Ur side if it passes u or hit u on the way to Ur side it is not a hit . Ur team can still hit it three times..

a block is not considered a hit because you can just bump it after. it's a weird thing, but it's not a hit.

I block doesn't count as a hit, nor does it count as one of YOUR hits meaning you can block it and then hit it again right after!
