VOLLEY BALL

The sport originated in the United States. In 1895, William G.


Morgan, an instructor at the Young
Men's Christian Association (YMCA) in Holyoke, Mass., decided
to blend elements of basketball,
baseball, tennis, and handball to create a game for his classes of
businessmen which would demand
less physical contact than basketball.

He created the game of Volleyball (at that time called


mintonette).
• Morgan borrowed the net from tennis,
and raised it 6 feet 6 inches above the
floor, just above the
average man's head.

the quarterback of the volleyball court.

player on the volleyball team and is most
responsible for getting blocks for the defense.

Volleyball Terms: Positional Terminologys

Volleyball Spiker – The player attacking the


ball in an effort to end the play and win the
point.
• Volleyball Rules and Regulations: Basics

Each team is composed of six players – Three players in the front row and three players
in the back row.
The game begins with a serve – The serve comes from behind the end line on the
volleyball court.
Each team gets three touches – Each team is allowed to touch the ball three times
before it must return to the other side of the net. If contact is made for a fourth time, the
play is dead and the other team will receive a point. Teams CAN hit it less than three
times if they wish to do so.
Hit the floor to score – Points are scored when the volleyball lands “in”, on the opposing
team’s side of the court (“in” means that the ball traveled over the net and landed within
the court of play).
The line is “in” – If the ball hits the court boundary, it is considered to be “in”.
Points are also scored when the opposing team hits the ball “out”. The ball is
considered “out” if it lands out of the court boundaries, hits the antenna, or makes contact
with the ceiling.
• Volleyball Rules and Regulations: Basics

The ball CAN touch the net on it’s way over – The ball is allowed to make contact with
the net regardless of if it is on a serve, attack, block, etc.
You can play the ball off of the net – If the ball is driven off of the net, you can continue to
play it as long as it is within your team’s three contacts.
If the team that served wins the point, they will continue to serve. If they lose the point,
the opposing team will become the servers.
Teams rotate clockwise when they become the servers – This means that one front row
player will become a back row player and vice versa.
Game ends at 25 points – The game is over when one team scores a designated amount of
points (most often 25).
• Volleyball Rules and Regulations: Court
Violations

Individual players cannot hit the ball two consecutive times.


Contact must be instantaneous – Players cannot catch or hold the volleyball.
Double hit – hitting the ball twice during the same action. You can only double hit if it
occurs during the team’s first contact (during serve receive or after an opponents attack).
Players cannot assist a teammate with hitting the ball – This means that you can’t help a
teammate by throwing them into the air or allowing them to jump off of your back in an
effort to hit the volleyball.
Under the net violation – Players cannot cross the center line inside the court of play. This
is a tricky one because there are certain rules surrounding an “under” violation. The rule
states that your entire foot needs to be under the net (meaning your whole body can be over
the line as long as your foot isn’t and you aren’t effecting the play) but it is ultimately up to
the referees discretion.
• Volleyball Rules and Regulations: Court
Violations

Out of rotation – This can occur if you serve out of rotation as well as if you are not in
rotation during the opposing team’s serve.
Back row attack – This is when a player attacks the ball over the net while they are in the
back row (according to their rotation).
Libero cannot:
Attack the ball over the net regardless of where they are on the court.
Overhand set a front row attack while they are standing in front of the ten foot line.
Block. Ever.
• Volleyball Rules and Regulations: Net Violations

You cannot block a serve – You must allow the opposing team’s serve to come over the
net. Blocking the serve is illegal and will result in a point for the serving team.
Over the net violation – You cannot penetrate the net unless the opposing team is attacking.
This means that you are not allowed to block a set from the opposing team.
The ball must be inside the antenna – If you hit the ball outside of the antenna (or if it hits
the antenna) it is considered to be out of play regardless of where it lands.
Net violation – You cannot make contact with the top of the net during an action such as an
attack or block. You CAN make contact with the net if it does not effect the play (referee’s
discretion).
Screening – You cannot create a wall of players to “screen” the opposing team while you
are serving.
