This guide provides a brief introduction to the fundamental rules of Catchball and is intended to help new players understand the basics of the game. It highlights the most common rules related to positioning, serving, ball handling, player movement, attacking, blocking, substitutions, and gameplay.

Please note that this guide is not a substitute for the official USA Catchball Association Rule Book. Players, coaches, referees, and team representatives are encouraged to review the complete rule book to gain a full understanding of all rules, interpretations, and official procedures governing USACA-sanctioned competitions.

This quick guide is designed as an educational reference to help you get started—while the official USACA Rule Book remains the final authority on all rules of play.
