    BASIC RULES AND REGULATIONS IN VOLLEYBALL

    Overview
    In volleyball, players work together to return the ball over the net
    in three hits or fewer, without letting the ball touch the ground.
    The USA Volleyball and International Federation of Volleyball rule
    books provide the standard rules for competitive mens and
    womens volleyball in the United States.
    Court
    The standard competitive volleyball court measures 59 feet long
    by 29.6 feet wide. The center line runs under the net, dividing the
    court into two equal sides. An attack line runs 9 feet, 10 inches
    behind the net on each side of the court. The attack line divides
    the front and back zones. The net measures 8 feet, 11 5/8 inches
    tall for standard mens competition and 7 feet, 4 1/8 inches tall
    for standard womens competition, according to the USA
    Volleyball and International Federation of Volleyball rule books.
    Players
    Both teams must have six players on the court to begin play.
    Players follow the proper rotational order through each set.
    Players rotate between six positions on the court, including three
    back-row positions behind the attack line and three front-row
    positions in front of the attack line. Each time a team gains the
    right to serve, its players must rotate one position clockwise.
    Once the server contacts the ball, players can move out of their
    rotational positions to play the point. Players in a back-row
    position must not attack the ball above the net and in front of the
    attack line, however.

    Serve

    Team captains complete a coin toss before the game to determine


    the team that will serve first. The player in the back right position
    in the rotation serves the ball. To serve, players must stand
    behind the courts end line and hit the ball out of the air. If the
    serve hits the net or lands out of bounds, the servers team loses
    the point. The same player continues to serve until his team loses
    a point. When a team loses a point on its serve, the other team
    gains the right to serve.
    Play
    Teams must return the ball over the net in three hits or fewer.
    Blocks do not count toward the teams hit total. If one player hits
    the ball twice in succession or contacts the ball illegally by
    palming, catching or throwing it, her team loses the point. If a
    back-row player attacks the ball illegally, his team loses the point.
    If any player touches the net or net posts, her team loses the
    point. Teams win points when the opposing team commits a
    violation, fails to return the ball over the net, lets the ball touch
    the ground inbounds or hits the ball into the net or out of bounds.
    Scoring
    Teams can win points on their own serve and on their opponents
    serve, according to the USA Volleyball and International
    Federation of Volleyball rule books. The first team to win 25 points
    with a two-point lead wins the set. The first team to win three sets
    wins the match. If the match goes to a fifth set, the first team to
    win 15 points with a two-point lead wins the set and the match.
