What is volleyball??
Volleyball is a team sports played with a ball and a net.
There are teams on each side of the net. One team hits the
ball over the net and into the other team's court, the other
team must then hit the ball back over the net and in bounds
within three tries without letting the ball touch the ground.
There are two main kinds of competitive volleyball played in the
world right now. They are team volleyball and beach volleyball. Both are
Olympic sports and have competitive leagues. Team volleyball is played
indoors on a hard court with 6 people per team. Beach volleyball is played
outdoors on the sand with 2 players per team. The rules, strategy, and
discussion here will focus on team volleyball
History Of Volleyball

The game volleyball , originally called “Mintonette”was invented by


William Morgan in 1985. He was an athletic director at the Young Men
Christians Association (YMCA) and was trying to come up with a game that
would be fun, like basketball, but less taxing. Of course the rules have
changed some since then, but it quickly became a popular sport at the
YMCA. The name volleyball came about when a man named Alfred Halstead
noticed how the game had a volleying nature. People started calling it volley
ball and the name stuck.
Volleyball Equipment and Court

An indoor volleyball is typically white, but may have some other colors as
well. It's round with 8 or 16 panels and is usually made of leather. The official
indoor volleyball is 25.5 -26.5 inches in circumference, weighs 9.2 - 9.9 ounces, and
has 4.3-4.6 psi air pressure. A youth volley ball is slightly smaller. Beach volleyballs
are slightly bigger, weigh the same, but have much less air pressure.
The volleyball court is 18 meters long and 9 meters wide. It is divided in
sides in the middle by the net. The net is 1-meter-wide and is set up so that the top
of the net is 7 feet 11 5/8 inches above the ground (right around 8 feet). The only
other key feature is a line that is drawn on each side 3 meters from the net and
parallel to the net. This line is called the attack line. It defines the front row and
back row areas.

SKILLS
Volleyball is a sports that requires you to master a complex skill
set. Because you rotate from playing front line positions to back
line positions, you constantly are shifting from setting up offensive
plays to completing offensive plays. You also must shift quickly
from offense to defense. During any given sequence in volleyball,
a player must be prepared to execute a variety of skills.
SERVICE

The volleyball serve is the first opportunity for a player to score a point.
It begins each rally. Once you toss the ball in the air you must contact the ball
to send it over the net to land inside the lines of the court. Each player gets only
one chance to serve. The serve can touch the net and continue into the
opponent's court. When the serving team loses a rally, it loses the right to serve.
The receiving team then rotates one position on the court.
DIG
The "dig" is a forearm pass that is used to control the
ball and pass it to the setter at the net. It is usually the first
contact by the team and an effective shot to use in defense,
such as when receiving a spike. The "libero" handles much
of the team's serve reception and is pivotal in backcourt
defense.

SET
The "set" is an overhead pass used to change the direction of the dig and put
the ball in a good position for the spiker. The set is usually the second contact in a
rally and the person who sets the ball the most is called the setter.
SPIKE
The "spike" is when the ball is hit or smashed across the net. It is the most
powerful shot in Volleyball – and the most effective way to win a rally.
BLOCK
A block is the first opportunity for a team on defense to keep the team on offense from hitting into
their court. Once the whistle blows and your team serves the ball over the net, your team is on defense,
ready to defend your court
