This is the way it is with USAV rules here in the US as well, thanks
to a 1996? rule change.  Joe is epressing the desire for NFSHSA (US
high school sanctioning body) to adopt these changes as well.

Currently under NFSHSA rules (and in US women's collegiate ball,
NAGWS), it is illegal to double contact the first ball if it is
received with the hands.
