EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES IN
VOLLEYBALL

• SPORTING EQUIPMENT, ALSO CALLED SPORTING GOODS, HAS VARIOUS


FORMS DEPENDING ON THE SPORT, BUT IT IS ESSENTIAL TO COMPLETE
THE SPORT. THE EQUIPMENT RANGES FROM BALLS, TO NETS, AND TO
PROTECTIVE GEAR LIKE HELMETS. SPORTING EQUIPMENT CAN BE
USED AS PROTECTIVE GEAR OR AS TOOL USED TO HELP THE ATHLETES
PLAY THE SPORT.
THE PLAYING AREA
• The playing area includes the playing court and the free zone. It shall be rectangular and
symmetrical.
• The playing court is a rectangle measuring 18 x 9 m, surrounded by a free zone which is a
minimum of 3 m wide on all sides. The free playing space is the space above the playing area
which is free from any obstructions. The free playing space shall measure a minimum of 7 m in
height from the playing surface.
LINES IN THE COURT
• All lines are 5 cm wide. They must be of a light colour which is different from the colour of the
floor and from any other lines.
• Boundary lines .Two side lines and two end lines mark the playing court. Both side lines and end
lines are drawn inside the dimensions of the playing court.
• Centre line. The axis of the centre line divides the playing court into two equal courts measuring 9
x 9 m each; This line extends beneath the net from side line to side line.
• Attack line .On each court, an attack line, whose rear edge is drawn 3 m back from the axis of the
centre line, marks the front zone.

THE NET

• it separates the two teams and over which the volleyball must pass.
• Its height is measured from the centre of the playing court. The net height (over the two side
lines) must be exactly the same and must not exceed the official height by more than 2 cm.
ANTENNAE

• An antenna is fastened at the outer edge of each side


band. The antennae are placed on opposite sides of the
net.
• The antennae are considered as part of the net and
laterally delimit the crossing space.
THE POST

• The posts are rounded and smooth, fixed to the


ground without wires. There shall be no
dangerous or obstructing devices.
THE BALL

• Its colour may be a uniform light colour or a combination of colours.


• Synthetic leather material and colour combinations of balls used in
international official competitions should comply with FIVB
standards.
• All balls used in a match must have the same standards regarding
circumference, weight, pressure, type, colour, etc.
BASIC SKILLS
Basic skills are the most important things in a certain sport. It helps you to
develop to become a good athlete. There are different basic skills in volleyball.
Knowing one skill is not enough to become a good player. You need to know
everything.
SERVICE
- The first contact that starts every rally is called a serve. The player who serves is called the
server. Usually a server uses one, open hand to swing overhead and send the ball over the net
from behind the end line.
Serving options are:
1. The Underhand Serve

- The Underhand Serve - Since this is the easiest serve to execute, don’t be embarrassed to
use it in novice or recreational situations. The goal of any serve is to get the ball in play.
2. The Overhead Serve - This is the most popular serve in competitive volleyball. There are
many variations that you can master with practice. As in any serve, make sure you don’t
touch or cross the endline at any time during your serve. This type of serve offers speed and
deception.
3. The Floater - This ball flight has no stabilizing spin and will dart more like a knuckle ball in
baseball. The secret is to simply hit the ball in the center - in relation to its line of flight - so very
little or no spin occurs. Floaters work equally well with the underhand serve or the overhand. The
movement of the ball is very unpredictable to the opposing players.
4. The Top Spin - This ball flight results when the ball is struck on top using wrist snap and moves
very quickly over the net.
The beauty of this shot is that it drops suddenly, leaving little time for an opponent to react.
5. The Jump Serve (see right) - This ball flight requires a higher toss and a literal jump in the air.
Apply contact with the ball just as in the Top Spin serve, and the results can be even more
devastating given the added force of the jump.
However, this is the hardest serve to master, and without sufficient top spin, the ball will likely end
up way out of bounds. It’s safest to aim this serve at the middle of the court.
• Passing

• Forearm Pass

• The forearm pass is also known as the bump pass. To use it correctly,
you must join your hands together and allow the ball to strike the fleshy
part of your forearms simultaneously. There many ways of joining your
hands, we’ll touch on a couple here. But the best way to learn yourself is to
watch a few players and experiment. A common mistake is to allow the ball
to strike your wrists or hands, often resulting in an unpredictable pass or a
ball returned over the net, commonly called an overpass. The best way to
avoid this problem is to remind yourself to bend your wrists and hands
down before impact to help cushion the ball.
Pick the passing method that works best for you. Don’t be concerned about which method is
better than the other. It’s really about personal choice and effective control. Whichever you
choose, keep these five points in mind:

• 1. Keep the ball between your wrists and elbows in the fattest part of the forearm

• 2. Press the wrists and hands down to hyperextend the arms

• 3. Lock your elbows. This gives the ball the most area to hit, and helps you control the
direction of your pass.

• 4. Try to bend your knees before the ball gets to you so that you can both absorb the serve
and re-direct the pass.

• 5. Don’t swing at the ball, but do try to shrug your shoulders toward your target at the
moment of impact.
• Overhead Pass

• The setter runs the offense, and determines which hitter to set. Sometimes, a team has two
setters. The key to good setting is consistency. The basic premise of setting is to take a bump
pass and convert it to a well placed ball that can be effectively hit by another player to the
opponent’s court. The proper technique for setting is to raise your hands about five inches above
your head with your thumbs on the bottom and pointed towards your eyes. Your fingers should
be loose and slightly cupped. Don’t spread your hands any farther than necessary to receive the
ball. As a guide, you’ll have a two to three inch gap between both of your thumbs and both of
your forefingers.
• Here are a few things to keep in mind about overhead pass:
• 1. Get to the ball.
• 2. Face your target (except when you’re deliberately making a back set).
• 3. Bend your elbows and your knees.
• 4. Look at the ball through the opening between your hands.
• 5. Bring both hands into contact with the ball simultaneously.
• 6. Don’t let the ball touch your palm. This is called a push, and is a violation. If the ball comes to
rest in you hand, or you strike the ball unevenly with either hand, you’ll be in violation.
• 7. Receive the ball over your head, and let it snap out of your finger pads. Keep your hands
above your face or you’ll be whistled.
