New Official Catch’n Serve Ball Rules Handbook & Upcoming Referee Webinars

The revised and reorganized handbook provides the official framework for the rules and regulations of Catch’n Serve Ball and replaces the previous September 2024 Version.

The new edition incorporates the latest revisions and clarifications to support the safe, fair and consistent application of the rules in Catch’n Serve Ball competitions and activities.

We encourage all ICSBF members, coaches, players and referees to familiarize themselves with the new handbook and to use it as the official reference for Catch’n Serve Ball.

For those who would like to see the changes in more detail, a separate Summary of Rule Changes comparing the September 2024 Version with the August 2026 Version is also available.
