Volleyball
is a team sport in which two teams of six players are set on the opposite sides of the net.
This includes the most popular ones: spiking and blocking (because these plays are made above the top
of the net, the vertical jump is an ath- letic skill emphasized in the sport) as well as passing, setting, and
specialized player positions and offensive and defensive structures.
History of Volleyball
A new game called Mintonette was created on February 9, 1895, in Holyoke, Massachusetts by William
G. Morgan, a YMCA physical education director.
Alfred Halstead, noticed the volleying nature of the game at its first exhibition match in 1896, played at
the International YMCA Training School, the game quickly became known as volleyball (originally spelled
as two words: volley ball).
Rules of the Game The Court Dimensions and Position of Players
A line 3 m (9.84 ft) from and parallel to the net is considered the attack line.
When a team gains the serve (also known as siding out), its members must rotate in a clockwise
direction,
The team courts are surrounded by an area called the free zone which is a minimum of 3 meters wide
and which the players may enter and play.
The Ball
Game Mechanics Each team consists of six players on court. To get play started, a team is chosen to
serve by coin toss.
The opposing team must use a combination of no more than three contacts with the volleyball to
return the ball to the opponent's side of the net.
Scoring
The game continues, with the first team to score 25 points by a two-point margin is awarded the set.
Libero
Libero In 1998, the libero player was introduced internationally. The libero is a player specialized in
defensive skills: the libero must wear a contrasting jer- sey color from the teammates and cannot block
or attack the ball when it is entirely above net height.
part of the court. The libero is, generally, the most skilled defensive player on the team.

Skill in volleyball
Competitive teams master six basic skills: serve, pass, set, attack, block, and dig.
Serve
Skills in Volleyball A player stands behind the inline and serves the ball, in an attempt to drive it into the
opponent's court.
A serve is called an "ace" when the ball lands directly onto the court or travels out- side the court after
being touched by an opponent.
Types of Service:
Underhand
A serve in which the player strikes the ball below the waist instead of tossing it up and striking it with an
overhand throwing motion.
Topspin
An where the player tosses the ball high and hits it with a wrist span, giving it topspin that causes it to
drop faster than it would other- wise and helps maintain a straight flight path.
Ball Spins: How the ball was hit produces the spin Ball spins

Ball spins to the right when hit on the left.

indicates ball is hit on top.
Topspin No spin when ball is hit at dead

Float
An overhand serve where the ball is hit with no spin so that its path becomes unpredictable.
Jump serve
An overhand serve where the ball is first tossed high in the air, then the player makes a timed approach
and jumps to make contact with the ball, hitting it with topspin.
Jump float
An overhand serve where the ball is tossed high enough that the player may jump before hitting it
similarly to a standing float serve. The ball is tossed lower than a topspin jump serve, but contact is still
made while in the air.
Pass
attempt to land inside accelera- ly. A serve ravels out- The pass is the attempt by a team to properly
handle the opponent's serve, or any form of attack, this is also called reception,
fundamentally two specific techniques:
Underarm pass, or bump, where the ball touches the inside part of the joined forearms or platform, at
waist line;
Overhand pass
where it is handled with the fingertips, like a set, above the head. Either is acceptable in pro- fessional
and beach volleyball.
Set
The set is usually the second contact that a team makes with the ball.
The setter
coordinates the offensive movements of a team, and is the player who eventually decides which player
will actually attack the ball.
Attack
The attack. also known as the spike, is usually the third contact a player makes with the ball.
A bounce is a slang term for a very hard or loud spike that follows an almost straight trajectory steeply
downward into the opponent's court and bounces very high into the air.
Block
Blocking refers to the actions taken by players standing at the net to stop or alter an opponent's attack.
Offensive block
is performed by jumping and reaching to pen- etrate with one's arms and hands over the net and into
the opponent's area.
Defensive or "soft" block
if the goal is to control and deflect the hard-driven ball up so that it slows down and becomes easier to
be defended.
Digging is the ability to prevent the ball from touching one's court after a spike or attack, particularly a
ball that is nearly touching the ground.
overhand dig and bump are also Used to distinguish between defensive actions taken with fingertips or
joined arms.
the Game and Game Officials First and Second Referees

referee, the scorer, four (two) line judges.
