OBJECTIVES
VOLLEYBALL BASKETBALL
What is
VOLLEYBALL
Lets discuss!
WHAT IS...
volleyball
A team sport played with a ball and a net. There are teams on
each side of the net. One team hits the ball over the net and
into the other team's court, the other team must then hit the
ball back over the net and in bounds within three tries without
letting the ball touch the ground.
objectives
The object of the game is to send the
ball over the net in order to ground it
on the opponent's court, and to
prevent the same effort by the
opponent. The team has three hits
for returning the ball (in addition to
the block contact).
equipment
An indoor volleyball is typically white but may have some other colors as well.
It's round with 8 or 16 panels and is usually leather. The official indoor volleyball
is 25.5 -26.5 inches in circumference, weighs 9.2 - 9.9 ounces, and has 4.3-4.6 psi
air pressure. A youth volleyball is slightly smaller. Beach volleyballs are
somewhat bigger, and weigh the same, but have much less air pressure.
The volleyball court is 18 meters long and 9 meters wide. It's divided into sides
in the middle by the net. The net is 1 meter wide and is set up so that the top of
the net is 7 feet 11 5/8 inches above the ground (right around 8 feet). The only
other key feature is a line that is drawn on each side 3 meters from the net and
parallel to the net. This line is called the attack line. It defines the front row and
back row areas.
PLAYER POSITIONS
SETTER. The setter's main job is to put the ball in the perfect
place for the attackers.
MIDDLE BLOCKER. This volleyball position is both the main
blocker and the attacker for the middle of the net.
OUTSIDE HITTER. The outside hitter is focused on the left side of
the court and is generally in the main attacking position.
WEAKSIDE HITTER. The weakside hitter is positioned on the right
side of the court.
LIBEROS. The volleyball position responsible for defense is the
liberos.
What is
BASKETBALL
Lets discuss!
WHAT IS...
basketball
A game played between two teams of five players each on a
rectangular court, usually indoors. Each team tries to score by
tossing the ball through the opponent's goal, an elevated
horizontal hoop, and a net called a basket.
objectives
The core objective in a basketball game is
to score points by putting the ball inside
the hoop (basket) and to prevent the
opposing team from doing the same. A
basketball game starts at the centre of the
court when the ball is thrown high up by
the referee and one player from each
team competing to gain possession.
BASKETBALL COURT: DIMENSIONS AND MARKINGS
To understand basketball, it’s important to have an idea of the court’s
layout. According to FIBA (international basketball federation)
guidelines, a basketball court is a rectangular playing area 28m in
length and 15m in width. International competitions including the
Olympics follow FIBA guidelines. The border markings along the
length of the court are called sidelines and the breadth of the court
are called end lines or baselines.
The outer edge of the key parallel to the end line is called the free-
throw line. There’s a 3.6m diameter semi-circle drawn on the outer
part of the free-throw line called the free-throw circle.
BASKETBALL VIOLATIONS
REFEREES PERSPECTIVE
HOLDING

When a player uses their hands

to grab their opponent to impede
or prevent them from moving or
advancing with or without the
ball.
ILLEGAL OR “MOVING”
PICK/SCREEN

When a player fails to maintain a

set position while setting a
screen or pick. Screens must be
performed in a standstill
manner.
HAND CHECK

When a player continually uses

their hands on an opposing
player. This foul is typically called
on defenders at the perimeter to
keep a safe distance between the
ballhandler and the basket.
ILLEGAL HAND USE OR
“REACHING IN”

Similar to holding, this is when a

player uses their hands in a
fashion that referees deem
illegal, typically in the form of
touching a shooter’s arm or hand
through their release or touching
after an attempted steal.
TRIPPING

When a player uses their leg or

foot to throw off their opponent’s
balance.

ELBOWING

When a player excessively swings

their elbows and hits another
player.
CHARGING
When an offensive player makes contact with a defender who has established position in front of an offensive
player with or without the basketball and is not moving. Some courts, especially those used for youth
basketball, make this call easier to identify by having a “charge circle” marked below the basket. If a defender is
outside the circle with their feet planted, it is a charge.
BLOCKING

When a defender makes contact

with an offensive player without
establishing position, without
giving proper space, or is in the
charge circle.

TECHNICAL FOUL

When a player or coach displays

unsportsmanlike behavior, such
as foul language, obscene
gestures, or arguing. Two
technical fouls will result in
ejection from the game.
FLAGRANT FOUL

When a player performs an act of

violence that can seriously injure
or harm others on the court. This
can be unintentional or
deliberate. Flagrant fouls can
also result in player ejections at
the referee’s discretion.
TRAVELING
When a player takes more
than two steps between
dribbles or without
dribbling the basketball.
Traveling can also occur
when a player who has
picked up the dribble
switches his or her pivot
foot.

PALMING

When a player dribbles the

basketball in a manner that has
their palm too far to the side or
underneath the basketball.
DOUBLE DRIBBLE

When a player picks up

their dribble to establish
their position and then
restarts their dribble, or
when a player dribbles
the basketball with two
hands at the same time.
HELD BALL
When two players gain possession of the ball and a brief battle for the basketball occurs. The
referee will award possession to one team, alternating which team gets the ball each subsequent
time it occurs.
BACKCOURT OR “OVER & BACK”

When an offensive player brings the basketball over the half-court line and then
retreats back over mid court during their possession.
KICKING

When a player kicks the

basketball.
FREE THROW VIOLATIONS
Every player must remain in place
until the ball is shot by the free
throw shooter. If the offense
travels into the free throw lane
prior to the shooter’s release of the
ball, then the shot does not count.
If the defense ventures into the
free throw lane too early, then
another shot attempt is awarded
to the shooter, if they miss.
VARIOUS TIME RESTRICTIONS

3-Second Violation: Offensive

players cannot stand in the
key for more than three
seconds.

5-Second Violation
(Inbounding): A player must
inbound the basketball
within five seconds after the
referee hands it to them to
avoid a turnover.


5-Second Violation (Offensive):

An offensive player must pass,
shoot or dribble the basketball
within five seconds if being
guarded by a defensive player
who is within arm’s reach.

VARIOUS TIME
RESTRICTIONS

10-Second Violation:
Players must advance
the basketball over the
mid-court line within 10
seconds to avoid a
turnover.

good sport is to lose.”
