We all want him to know, there is no such thing as being too short to play volleyball at the highest level, for any boy or any girl. It is also not how tall you are, but how tall you play.

The ball must be returned over the net in 3 hits or less. It is legal to contact the ball with any part of the body as long as the ball rebounds immediately.
