What is the outcome if a ball spiked by Team R bounces off a player on Team S's foot?

When a ball is spiked and it subsequently bounces off a player’s foot, the ruling is that the ball is still considered to be in play unless it has touched the ground or gone out of bounds. In this scenario, if Team R spikes the ball and it hits a player from Team S on the foot, the point is awarded to Team S as the ball remains in play and does not directly touch the ground before being played.

Team S still has an opportunity to play the ball after the contact, and since Team R did not successfully score a point, Team S maintains control. Under the rules governing volleyball, the touch or bounce from the foot does not constitute a violation that would grant a point to the attacking team (Team R) as long as Team S can legally play the ball afterwards.

Consequently, awarding the point to Team S reflects that Team R has not fulfilled the requirements for a point-scoring play in this situation, leading to the conclusion that their actions did not result in scoring, supporting the answer chosen.
