UHSPA 2025 Season

We will be playing with the Vulcan ball.

During the 6 weeks of meets, each match will consist of a boys match, a girls match, and a mixed match, played simultaneously. Each of these 3 matches will consist of a 2 games out of 3 match, MLP rally scoring, games to 21, win by 2. Teams will switch sides at 11, and the winning team must win on its serve. For one school to beat another, it would need to win at least 2 out of the 3 match ups.

For Championships, schools will be seeded into a single elimination bracket, regular scoring, best 2 out of 3 to 11.

We will have roaming USAPA referees at both of our locations for the meets.
All State Team and Individual Championship Matches will be refereed.

No coaching during play (only on time outs).
One, 1 minute time out per team per game.
Only players on court make line calls (Roaming referees and referees on court can help with line calls at any time).

Sub rules:
Each team can bring one extra male and one extra female each week. They will be the designated subs for the week. Because scores are entered into DUPR, subs are not allowed to sub in and out of games randomly. Subs are only allowed to play full games. In the case of an injury, the team who was injured will keep the score they had at the time of the injury, and the other team will score 21, rather than forfeiting the whole game. A sub may then start for the next game in that round.

Players who started are NOT allowed to move to another division during the same round. For example, a player who competed in boys doubles and finished his best two out of three quickly, may not sub in for his school in mixed doubles that round. When playing the next match against another school on the same day, players can choose to switch to a different event, but can only play in one event, per round, per evening. This allows more team members to participate and encourages unity within the team.
