An inning shall consist of: when one person is
playing on each side, one service each side;
when two are playing on each side, two services
each side; when three are playing each side,
three services each side. The man serving
continues to do so until out by failure of his side
to return the ball. Each man shall serve in turn.
RULE #2
 3. Court.
The court or floor space shall be 25 feet wide and 50
feet long, divided into two square courts, 25 feet by 25
feet, by the net. Four feet from the net on either side
and parallel with it shall be a line across the court, the
dribbling line. The boundary lines must be plainly
marked so as to be visible from all parts of the court.
Note: The exact size of the court may be changed to
suit the convenience of the place.
RULE #3

RULE #5
 6. Server and Service.
The server shall stand with one foot on the back line. The ball
must be batted with the hand. Two services or trials are allowed
him to place the ball in the opponent’s court. The server may
serve into the opponent’s court at nay place. In a service, the
ball must be batted at least 10 feet, no dribbling allowed. A
service which would strike the net, but which is struck by
another of the same side before striking the net, if it goes over
into the opponent’s court, is good, but if it should go outside,
the server has no second trial.
RULE #6
 7. Scoring.
Each good service unreturned or ball in play
unreturned by the side receiving counts
one score for the side serving. A side only
scores when serving, as a failure to return,
counting for the opposite side. The ball
hitting the net on the first service shall be
called dead, and counts as a trial.
RULE #7
 8. Net Ball.
A play, which hits the net, aside from the
first service, is called a net ball, and is
equivalent to a failure to return, counting
for the opposite side. The ball hitting the
net on first service shall be called dead,
and counts as a trial.
RULE #8
 9. Line Ball.
A line ball is a ball that
strikes the boundary line. It
is equivalent to one out of
court, and counts as such.
RULE #9
 10. Play and Players.
Any number of players may participate that is
convenient to the place. A player should be able to
cover about 10 by 10 feet. Should any player during
play touch the net, it puts the ball out of play and
counts against his side. Should any player catch or
hold for an instant the ball, it is out of play and counts
for the opposite side. Should the ball strike any object
other than the floor and bound back into play, it is still
in play.

player during the serve or serve receive. This is
the first touch.
2. Second Touch: The second touch is usually a
set, where a player positions the ball for an
attacking hit.
3. Third Touch: The third touch is the attacking hit
(spike) that aims to score a point by sending the
ball over the net and into the opponent’s court.

ORIGINS AND GAMEPLAY

Mais-Mais is a variation of
volleyball played in local
communities and schools.
It combines elements of
traditional volleyball with
some unique rules.
The game is typically
played outdoors, often on
sand or grass courts.
RULES AND KEY FEATURES:
TEAM COMPOSITION:
Like regular volleyball, Mais-Mais involves two
teams

COURT SETUP:
The court layout is similar to volleyball, with a net
dividing the teams.

THREE-HIT LIMIT:
Just like in standard volleyball, each team has a
three-hit limit (pass, set, spike) to return the ball
over the net.
RULES AND KEY FEATURES:
NO ROTATION:
Unlike volleyball, there is no rotation of players
after each serve. Players remain in their positions
throughout the game.

CONTINUOUS PLAY:
The game flows continuously without stoppages,
making it fast-paced and dynamic.

SCORING:
Points are awarded when the ball lands within the
opponent’s court or if the opponent commits a fault.

Mais-Mais
HOW IT IS DONE

FIRST TOUCH

The initial step involves receiving

the ball served. This task is carried
out by the player who is neither the
bomba nor the bomberino.
HOW IT IS DONE

SECOND TOUCH

The Bomba handles this task. Unlike

in volleyball, the setter initially
guides the ball towards the net first
before retrieving it again and
setting it up for the Bomberino to
hit.
HOW IT IS DONE

THIRD TOUCH

Once the Bomba sets the ball, the

third and final touch is done by the
Bomberino. They will hit the ball
with full force and is pointed
downward for more impact.
HOW IT IS DONE
COMMUNITY AND CULTURE

Mais-Mais is deeply rooted in Filipino culture

and is often played during fiestas, school
events, and friendly gatherings. It fosters
camaraderie, sportsmanship, and a sense of
community. Although it is not as formal as
professional volleyball, Mais-Mais holds a
special place in the hearts of Filipino players.
