Some common faults are:

Foot faults: Stepping on or over the line when serving.

Touching the net, when hitting, blocking, or just moving.

Lifts: Using your flat hand to push the ball upwards is not allowed

Double hits: Players cannot touch the ball again after they pass it, unless another player touches it.

4 hits: Only 3 players are allowed to touch the ball when it is on their side of the court.

Back row attack: If a player is in the back row (5, 6, or 1 position), they are not allowed to jump and touch a ball in front of the 10-foot line.

Any of these faults would result in a side-out.

According to Wikipedia, the following actions are considered errors and faults in the game of volleyball: 1) The ball lands out of the court, in the same court as the team that touched it last, under the net to the opposing team's court, or the ball touches the net "antennas." 2) The ball also may not pass over or outside the antennas even if it lands in the opponents' court. 3) The ball is touched more than three times before being returned to the other team's court. 4) The same player touches the ball twice in succession. Except if a player blocks (touches a ball sent over the net by the opposing team, while reaching above the top of the net) a ball that stays in the blocker's side of the net. In such an instance the blocker may play the ball another time without violating the rule against playing the ball twice in succession. If the ball is touched during a block, that contact is not considered one of the team's three contacts. 5) A player "lifts" or "carries" the ball (the ball remains in contact with the player's body for too long). 6) A player touches the net with any part of his or her body or clothing while making a play on the ball (with the exception of the hair). 7) The players of one team do not manage to touch the ball before the ball lands in their half of the court. 8) A back-row player spikes the ball while it is completely above the top of the net, unless he or she jumped from behind the attack line (the player is, however, allowed to land in front of the attack line). 9) A back-row player participates in a completed block of the opposing team's attack (completed means at least one blocker touched the ball). 10) The libero, a defensive player who can only play in the back row, attempts a block or makes an "attacking hit", defined as any shot struck while the ball is entirely above the top of the net. 11) A player completes an attack hit from higher than the top of the net when the ball is coming from an overhand finger pass (set) by a libero in the front zone. 12) A player is not in the correct position at the moment of serve, or serves out of turn. 13) When hitting, a player makes contact with the ball in the space above the opponent's court (in blocking an attack hit, this is allowed). 14) A player touches the opponent's court with any part of his or her body except the feet or hands. 15) When serving, a player steps on the court or the end line before making contact with the ball. 16) A player takes more than 8 seconds to serve. 17) At the moment of serve, one or more players jump, raise their arms or stand together at the net in an attempt to block the sight of the ball from the opponent (screening). 18) A player blocks the serve or attacks the serve when the ball is in the front zone and above the top of the net.

When i first started playing volleyball, my most common error in serving was not using enough power, and not following through. you have to hit the ball as hard as you can, but still be able to control the ball. also, don't toss the ball into the air, hit it off your hand. + , When your hitting it, don't stop swinging your arm when it hits the ball, go right on through the hit with your arm (: hope it helped !

Foot faults are when the server crosses the line before the ball leaves his/her hand.
