Summary of all Topics

The group 1 discussed the history of volleyball wherein they focused about how volleyball is created
and evolved each time. Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan as a less intense alternative
to basketball and was originally called "Mintonette." In 1896, Alfred Halstead renamed it "volleyball"
because it involved volleying the ball over a net. The Philippines played a major role in shaping modern
volleyball by introducing the set and spike in 1916.The sport spread globally through the YMCA, leading to
the formation of the FIVB in 1947.It made its Olympic debut in 1964, with beach volleyball added in 1996.
To play volleyball the group 2 shared about essential equipment includes a leather ball (260-280g), a
net (8 ft for men, 7 ft 4 in for women), poles, antennas for in/out calls, a referee stand, a ball pump, and
penalty cards (yellow for warnings, red for penalties).Players wear lightweight shirts and shorts for
movement, non-slip shoes, knee pads and braces for protection, ankle braces, and sports tape for support.
The game is played on a hardwood or synthetic volleyball court with proper lighting, seating areas for
spectators, and a scoreboard to track the game.
In our group, group 3, we discussed about the six basic volleyball skills including starting the play with
an underhand or overhand serve, passing which is moving the ball to a teammate using a bump or
overhead pass, digging- the defensive move to stop a spike, setting assisting a teammate’s attack,
spiking/hitting an attacking move to score, and blocking stopping an opponent’s spike. Players have
different positions, the setter is the team’s playmaker, the libero is a defensive specialist who cannot spike,
the outside hitter is the main attacker, the middle blocker is responsible for blocking and spiking, and the
opposite hitter is a strong right-side attacker. Volleyball is a dynamic and engaging sport that requires
teamwork, strategy, and skill to play effectively.
Volleyball is a fast-paced sport that relies on officials and rules to ensure fair play. The first referee
oversees the game, conducts the coin toss, and communicates with other officials, while the second
referee manages substitutions, timeouts, and assists in officiating. The scorekeeper records points, serves,
and penalties, while the line judges monitor whether the ball lands in or out. The libero tracker ensures the
libero's rotations follow the rules. Basic rules include serving from behind the end line, a team having three
touches to return the ball, and scoring 25 points to win a set (15 in the final set), provided there’s a two-
point lead. Common violations include service errors, foot faults, attack hit faults, double hits, reaching
violations, and net violations, among others. Additionally, misconduct, illegal substitutions, and behavioral
fouls can lead to penalties. By following these rules and avoiding violations, players, coaches, and
spectators can ensure a smooth and fair volleyball match.
In conclusion, volleyball has a long history and has changed over time to become a popular sport
worldwide. It needs the right equipment, clothing, and a proper court for safe and fair play. Players must
learn six basic skills—serving, passing, digging, setting, spiking, and blocking—to play well. Each player
has a special role on the team, and teamwork is very important. Referees and rules help keep the game fair
and organized. Volleyball is a fun and exciting sport that requires skill, strategy, and cooperation to enjoy
and succeed.
 B. Enumerate the proper behavior in playing Volleyball and explain in your own words why are those
behavior needed in the game.
Playing volleyball is not just about skills and winning. It is also about showing good behavior on the
court. Proper behavior makes the game fair, enjoyable, and respectful for everyone. Players should always
follow the rules, respect others, and work together as a team.

teammates, opponents, referees, and coaches with kindness. A simple handshake before and after the
game shows good sportsmanship. Another important behavior is communicating well with teammates.
Volleyball is a fast game, and players must talk to each other to avoid confusion. Calling the ball, giving
signals, and encouraging teammates help improve teamwork. For example, some players always shout
“Mine!” when they go for the ball so that others know who will take it. Following the rules and playing fair is
also necessary. Rules are there to keep the game organized and equal for both teams. Cheating or
breaking the rules can ruin the match. Staying positive and encouraging others is another good behavior in
volleyball. Mistakes happen, but blaming teammates will only make things worse. Instead, players should
support each other and help the team stay strong. Another important behavior is controlling emotions.
Volleyball can be intense, and players may feel frustrated when things don’t go their way. However, getting
angry or blaming others can hurt the team’s performance. Staying calm helps players perform better and
keeps the team spirit high. Finally, accepting winning and losing gracefully is important. Winning is exciting,
but players should not brag or make fun of the losing team. Losing can be disappointing, but instead of
feeling bad, players should learn from their mistakes and try to improve. After a tough match, volleyball
players should always shake hands and say, “Good game,” whether they win or lose. This shows respect
and sportsmanship.
In conclusion, proper behavior in volleyball makes the game more fun, fair, and enjoyable for everyone.
Respecting others, communicating well, playing fair, staying positive, controlling emotions, and accepting
results with grace are all important values in the sport. By following these behaviors, players can build
strong teamwork, improve their game, and enjoy playing volleyball to the fullest.
