Teams try to score points by grounding the ball on the opponent's court under a set of organized rules. Referees oversee the match and ensure rules are followed, making calls on plays. The scorekeeper accurately records the score and substitutions while other officials assist with calls at the net and sidelines.

4. Volleyball
Volleyball originated in the United States at a YMCA club in Holyoke in 1895 as
Mintonette. It was invented by William G. Morgan, a physical director of the YMCA club.
He wanted to invent a not-so-strenuous indoor game that businessmen in the club can
play. Players strike the ball and it volleys among the players, so it was later named
Volleyball by a professor from Springfield College in Massachusetts.
Volleyball quickly gained popularity among various YMCA branches in the States and it
was subsequently spread to other parts of the world during the World War I by the
American troops. Since, it is not a very vigorous sport, women also took interest in the
sport and started playing Volleyball.
Volleyball is played by two teams in a rectangular court, divided into two equal halves
across the length by a net tightly stretched between two poles fixed at either sides of the
court. It is one of most popular rally games and is today widely played across the world.
The objective of the game is to try to make the ball touch the ground on the opponent
side. When the ball is hit by a team, the members of other team hit it with their hands to
prevent it from touching the ground and to send it to another teammate or to the other
side of the court across the net. Only three players from the team can strike the ball
successively before they send it to the other team.
Volleyball allows players to pass the ball among teammates like basketball, but the
strategies of defending and attacking are similar to other net or racquet games. Players
try to shoot the ball over the net at the opponent side where it is tough for the
1. Volleyball – Overview
5. 4
opponents to volley it. The players of both teams have to prevent ball touching the
ground thus preventing the opponent to gain points.
Team Size
Volleyball is played among two teams of six players each. A team may also have six
more substitute players. One of the players is team captain and one of them is Libero.
Players are positioned in two rows of three players each. The Libero is identified with a
dress different from other team members. He is a specialist in defending and cannot
serve or move to the front court.
The team captain along with the coach is responsible for maintaining discipline in the
team. The team captain also represents the team and speaks about their team members
concerns.
During competition, each team has a coach, one or two assistant coaches, a
physiotherapist and a doctor. These members sit along with substitute players on their
team bench outside free zone.
Participating Countries
As volleyball originated in the United States, it is very popular there. The game has
spread to other surrounding countries and Europe. The game is simple, quick,
entertaining and does not require much equipment.
Many times in world championships, a new team surprisingly emerges as a top
contender and proves that good coaching facilities and good practice can make good
players.
Russians and the former Soviet teams won many Olympics and world championships.
The game is also widely played in China, Japan, and Korea. Some other countries that
take part in this game are Brazil, Mexico, Canada, Cuba, United States, Australia, New
Zealand, Philippines, and Argentina.
Regulating Bodies
Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) is the international regulating body of
volleyball. It governs rules, appoints referees for international tournaments and conducts
world cups and world championships for both men and women. It was formed in Paris
and the current headquarters is at Mexico.
FIVB is the official governing body responsible for conducting various tournaments and
promoting volleyball and beach volleyball. About 220 national volleyball organizations
are members of FIVB. Many of these federations organize volleyball championships and
the winners take part in international events.

Volleyball is played in a rectangular court, divided into two equal halves across the
length by a net tightly stretched between two poles, fixed at either sides of the court.
Court Design
A standard international volleyball court is an indoor, rectangular in shape whose sides
are 18 meters and the ends are 9 meters. The surface of the court is neither slippery nor
rough, to avoid injuries. International courts have wooden or synthetic flooring.
The court is divided into two similar squares of 9 X 9 meters by a center line, one for
each team. The court is further divided into the following zones:
Free zone – The playing surface is surrounded by a free zone up to 3 meters on all
sides. The free zone in international courts is 5 m from the longer sides and 8 meter
from the shorter sides.
Front zone – The front zone in each half extends from the center line to the attack line.
It is drawn 3 meters away from the center line on both sides of the court.
Service zone – This zone is used for servicing the ball to the opponent court behind the
end lines and has a width of 9 metres. The player has to be in the service zone while
jumping or serving.
Substitution zone – The substitution zone lies between the scorer’s table and the
attack line.
Libero replacement zone – The Libero replacement zone is a part of the free zone
beside team benches and between the extended attack line and the end line.
2. Volleyball – Playing Environment
7. Volleyball

Volleyball is a simple game which doesn’t require any equipment other than a ball, a net
and a flat court. Even two players can play and have fun with volleyball.
Net
Net is one meter long and 9.5 to 10 meter wide. It is
tied vertically above the center line of the court to posts
fixed at either sides of the court, at a distance of one
meter from the sidelines. The center of the net should
lie 2.43 meter above the ground for men and 2.24
meter for women. At the sides the net may be higher
by a maximum of 2cm, however it should be tied at the
same height at both the posts.
The court width is marked on the net with a tape and a
flexible antennae of one meter extends from the tape
marker on both sides of the net. These markings help
the referee determine when the ball goes outside the
court.
Ball
Volley ball a spherical ball of 65-67 cm circumference. It is
made of leather or any synthetic material and weighs 260-280
g.
Volleyballs are available in various colors, however for

Rally – A ball is serviced by a player and players of both teams hit it till a foul is committed
or ball falls on the ground. This period, from the point it is put to service till it halts is called a
rally. It is a complete rally if one of the teams scores a point.
Service – Players hit the ball with their fist, wrist, or arm, from the service zone
and it has to move above the net to the other teams play zone.
Warm up sessions – Players can get used to the environment and practice in a
short six to ten minute warm up sessions before the actual game begins.
Attack hit – The hit that sends the ball to the opponent side.
Positional Fault – Players are numbered in anti-clockwise starting from the
player in extreme right position in the back row. So, players in the front row are
numbered 4, 3 and 2 and players in the back row are numbered 5, 6 and 1 from
left to right. They should lie in the same positions declared before beginning a
set, when ball is served, else they earn a fault. However, after the service they
may move within their court.
Rotational Fault – If a receiving team earns a chance to serve, its players
change positions and move clockwise, i.e. player in 1st
position moves to 6th
,
player in 2nd
position moves to 1st
, etc. Not changing positions according to this
order leads to a fault. An exception to this rule is the Libero who cannot serve or
enter the front court.
Four Hit Foul--Three players in the receiving team may hit the ball
consecutively and the fourth hit should deliver the ball to the other side, failing so
will earn them a four hit fault.
Double Contact --Players should hit the ball to a teammate or to the other
team. Simultaneous hitting leads to a fault.
Assisted Hit – Players shouldn’t receive help from their teammates or any other
objects like posts to hit the ball.
Serving Fault – Players should serve according to the serving order. They
should hit the ball according to the rules and when instructed. Not complying with
these rules leads to a serving fault.
Double fault – If opponents commit faults successively, they have to play the
rally again. This scenario is called a Double Fault
Blocking – Players near the net may jump and hit the ball near the net after an
attack hit. Sometimes the ball doesn’t even completely cross the net. This action
is referred to as blocking.
Crossing space – The gap or space between the antennae and above the net is
termed as Crossing Space. This space can also extend to the roofs inside the
indoor courts. The ball should cross the net only through the crossing space.

Before the tournament starts, coaches of both the teams handover the players list and
their corresponding positions to the referee.
Getting Ready
Both the teams participate in a warm-up session of six to ten minutes. All the players
should be ready and should comply with the rules and obey the decisions of the referee.
Substitute players should also be ready and should join the team when the referee
allows them.
The other non-playing team members and substitute players take their positions in the
team bench. The match starts with the referee tossing a coin in the presence of team
captains of both the teams. The team that wins the toss chooses between serving the
ball and in receiving the service. It also chooses which side of the court it will play.
Quick Glimpse of the Game
Here’s how the ball moves among the players in a volleyball rally.
One player is positioned extreme right in the back line of the team that should serve as
per the toss, puts the ball into play with a service. If it reaches the opponents side,
various members of the team hit the ball three times successively. In case of a service
fault, the other team gets a chance to serve.
After the service, the ball should cross the net and reach the receivers side with in the
court play zone, without touching any player of the serving team. The fourth hit from a
5. Volleyball – How to Play?
10. 9
team should be an attack hit and the ball should be sent back to the serving team side.
The ball moves among players till it is grounded or till one of the players commits a
fault.
If a team makes a fault, the opponent team wins a point and gets a chance to serve. If
the team servicing the ball grounds in the opponent side, it wins a point and the same
player serves again.
If the other team wins a point and the ball is grounded on the servicing team side, the
opponent team gets a point and a chance to serve again. Players of the receiving team
should rotate in the specified order before serving the ball. A toss determines which
team should serve first in the fifth deciding set.
Winning a Match
Each match is divided into five sets. A team that wins three sets wins the match. A team
wins a set if it scores 25 points and leads the other team by at least 2 points. If the lead
is less than two points, both the teams continue playing till a wider lead is achieved. If
both the teams won two matches each, then the team that wins fifteen points and leads
the other team by at least two points in the fifth deciding set wins the match.
11. Volleyball

Here is a set of rules that are to be followed while playing volleyball:
When the ball is in play, it shouldn’t cross the side lines and end lines. At the net
the ball should stay between the antennae.
Players are not prevented from hitting the ball at the same time. But, when two
played hit it, they have made two hits.
Two players from opposing teams may hit the ball at the same time, but if the
ball goes out of the court, then the team at the other side of the court is awarded
a fault.
Players shouldn’t cross the center line while the ball is in play. Sometimes their
hands may reach the opponents court while trying to block a ball, but their feet
shouldn’t be placed in the opponent area and they should never interfere with the
opponents hits.
They shouldn’t touch the net in such a way that it obstructs the game or
interferes with the opponents play. However, the ball may touch the net or get
struck in it. It can be hit back and brought into play.
No player should obstruct opponents from hitting the ball or moving.
After the referee whistles and instructs for a service, the player should serve the
ball within 8 seconds.
The front-row players should deliver an attack hit only from their playing space.
A back-row player should deliver an attack hit only away from the front zone, but
may reach the front zone after the hit. But, if the ball is too low, lower than the
top of the net, he/she may deliver an attack hit by moving to the front zone.
A receiving team shouldn’t deliver an attack hit from the front zone when the ball
is still higher than the top of the net.
The libero or any player from the back row should not block the ball.
The Libero cannot serve or block the ball.
A ball shouldn’t be blocked just after a service.
Players shouldn’t catch the ball and throw it. They should only hit the ball.
