VOLLEYBALL
Object of the Game
 The object of volleyball is to hit the volleyball over the
net (by only using your hands) running through the
center of the court whilst trying to get it to bounce in
your opponents half.

 The opposing team have to try and prevent the ball


from bouncing before returning the ball. Games are
played out in best of 3 or 5 sets and the team with most
sets at the end of the game wins.
 The court is of a rectangular shape and measures
18m x 9m.

 Running across the court is a 2.43m high net with


the ball measuring 8 inches in diameter and
weighing between 9 and 10 ounces.

 Around the outlines of the court is an out of


bounds area and if the ball were to bounce in
these sections then a point would be awarded to
the opposing team.
Players & Equipment
 Each team has 6 players on a court at any one time.

 Substitutes can be used throughout the game.

 There are no professional mixed sex teams. Each


player takes up a position in either the attacking
zone (next to the net) or the defensive zone (at the
back of the court).

 Three players are in each zone and rotate in a


clockwise position after every point.

 Each team gets up to two timeouts per set of 30 seconds each. After
each set the amount of timeouts resets back to two regardless of
Scoring
 To score a point the ball must hit the ground within the
outlined section in your opponents half.

 You can also score a point by your opponent failing to


hit the outlined section within your half or your
opponent hitting the ball into the net. A point can be
scored off either teams serve.
 A player serving must do so from behind the base line and
can use either an over or underarm action and hit with only
the hand.

 Once the serve has been made the sever can join their team
in-play and battle out the point.
 Each team is allowed to hit the ball three times before
the ball must be returned. A player is not allowed to
hit the ball twice in succession.

 If the ball hits the boundary line then the ball is


deemed to be in-play. The defensive team can jump
and try to block the ball returning to their side of the
court.

 If a block attempt is made and the ball bounces in


their opponents half then a point is awarded. If after
the block the ball bounces out then a point is awarded
to the opposing team.

 Each game is played to 25 points and must be two points


clear. If the scores reach 24-24 then the game is played until
Winning the Game
To win the game you
must score more points
than your opponents.
