3. INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six
players are separated by a net. Each team tries to
score points by grounding a ball on the other
team's court under organized rules.
It is played in 18 m by 9 m court.
4. Scoring: Volleyball is typically played in sets, and each set is played to a certain number of points, often 25. A
team must win by at least two points. Matches are usually best-of-five sets.
Teams: Each team consists of six players on the court at a time. There are also rules regarding substitutions and
rotations.
Serving: A point is started with a serve, where a player hits the ball from behind the back boundary line (the end
line) over the net and into the opponent's court. The server must not touch the baseline or step over it before
making contact with the ball.
Rotation: Players rotate positions on the court each time their team wins back the serve from the opposing team.
Players must rotate in a clockwise direction.
Touches: A team is allowed a maximum of three touches of the ball to return it over the net (not including
blocks). These touches are typically a pass, a set, and a spike, but they can be in any order.
Net Play: Players are not allowed to touch the net while the ball is in play. Exceptions are made if the ball is
driven into the net with enough force to cause it to contact an opponent, or if the momentum of a player's action
causes them to touch the net accidentally.
Fouls: Various actions can result in a foul, including illegal hits (such as carrying or lifting the ball), double hits by
a single player, being out of rotation, or touching the ball more than three times before sending it back over the
net.
Ball In/Out: The ball is considered in play if it lands on the boundary lines, and out of play if it lands outside the
lines.
Block: Players at the net may attempt to block an opponent's attack, but they must not touch the ball until after
the attacker has made contact with it.
