Volleyball

History, Foundation,
Facilities and Equipment
 Volleyball
Volleyball is a sport played by two teams,
typically consisting of six players each,
where the objective is to use their hands
to pass a ball back and forth over a tall
net. The goal is to make the ball touch
the ground within the opponent's
playing area before they can successfully
return it. To prevent this, a player on the
opposing team must hit the ball up and
towards a teammate before it makes
contact with the court surface. That
teammate then has the opportunity to
volley it back across the net or pass it to
another teammate, who can then volley
it over the net. Teams are limited to
three touches of the ball before it must
be sent back over the net.
HISTORY
·1895: William G. Morgan invents
volleyball in Holyoke, Massachusetts,
USA.

William G. Morgan, who served as the physical director at the

Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) Holyoke,
Massachusetts, looked at the sports around and picked the
aspects that he thought suited his brief the best.
The ball came from baske`tball, the net from tennis and the
use of hands from handball. While this made up a game of
volleyball, it was lent some competitive tone with the
introduction of innings - later to be called sets - that was
borrowed from baseball. Morgan introduced the sport --
called mintonette, the original name of volleyball -- at the
YMCA Physical Director's Conference a year later at
Springfield College, Massachusetts.
·1900 - A new specially designed ball
which was lighter and smaller was
introduced.

Though it was incomplete with no fixed rules and a

format to follow, the sport did enough to win over the
delegation and soon became a part of YMCA’s wide
network throughout the USA with a new name - volley
ball (initially it was termed as two words). Volleyball
was officially selected to spell as a single word in 1952.
1947: The Fédération Internationale de
Volleyball (FIVB) is founded

A sport that traced its origin to basketball,

baseball, tennis and handball - and now
estimated to be played by over 800 million
globally - had thus been established.
·1907: The first official rules for volleyball are published.

·1916: The first exhibition match of volleyball is held in Tokyo, Japan.

1957: Volleyball becomes an official Olympic sport in

Melbourne, Australia

·1964: The first Men's Volleyball World Championship is held in Brazil.

·1964: The first Women's Volleyball World Championship is held in Japan.

·1965: The first NCAA Men's Volleyball Championship is held in the

United States.

·1972: The first NCAA Women's Volleyball Championship is held in the

United States.
·1996: Beach volleyball is introduced as an Olympic sport in
Atlanta, USA.

·2000: The FIVB introduces a new scoring system called "rally point."

·2016: The FIVB introduces new volleyball rules, including video

challenge system.

·2020: Volleyball continues to be a popular global sport with

professional leagues and international competitions.
EQUIPMENTS

·Volleyball balls
Volleyballs differ greatly
depending on whether they will be
used indoors or outdoors. While
indoor volleyballs are moulded
together, outdoor volleyballs are
stitched. Typically, indoor
volleyballs are made from leather,
whereas outdoor balls will usually
be made from a composite
material that is resistant to water.
EQUIPMENTS

·Volleyball shorts
Volleyball shorts need to be
supremely comfortable and allow
you to move freely and without
restriction. Spandex is a super-
stretchable material that is perfect
for your shorts and you may also
wish to look for shorts that have
moisture-wicking material to keep
you dry throughout the game.
EQUIPMENTS

·Volleyball t-shirts
Depending on whether you are
playing indoor or outdoor, and
what the weather is like when you
play, you can opt for the classic
sleeveless athletic t-shirt or choose
a long sleeve sport shirt. Whether
sleeved or sleeveless, volleyball t-
shirts usually have a number on
both the front and back and may
carry your team’s name and logo
too.
EQUIPMENTS

·Volleyball shoes
Volleyball shoes have a gum rubber sole
and are designed for the lateral
movement that the sport requires. The
middle of the sole is usually made of
foam, while the back is more likely to be
made from mesh or nylon. For those
playing recreationally, a normal tennis
trainer may well be sufficient, but if you
are playing more seriously you will
certainly benefit from wearing specially-
designed volleyball shoes for men and
women.
EQUIPMENTS

·Volleyball braces,
sleeves and pads
Volleyball braces, sleeves and pads Knee pads are the most
important protection for volleyball players. With many low balls
being hit, you will need to kneel to reach them. Bruising and floor
burns can be common. While elbow pads aren't as important a
consideration as knee pads, many players will still use them for
extra padding when making a dive to keep a volley ball in play.
Arm sleeves are also sometimes worn for the same reason. The
stress and strain that volleyball can place on your body can be
particularly concentrated at the ankles. Ankle injuries are among
the most common of all injuries that occur when playing
volleyball, which is why many players decide to wear ankle braces
for additional support.
EQUIPMENTS

·Volleyball court
A volleyball court is 60 feet by 30 feet and is
divided by a net that is placed over the centre
line. At the back of each side of the court is
the service line. In front of this, ten feet from
the net on either side is the attack line. The
court can be outdoors or indoors and playing
surfaces include wood, rubber tile, grass or
sand.
EQUIPMENTS

·Volleyball net and poles

An official volleyball net will measure 32 feet
long by 39 inches tall. For men's volleyball, it
will be suspended eight feet off the ground,
while for women it will be seven feet and
four inches. The net is held up by poles.
Typical volleyball net poles will measure
between 10.5 feet and 16 feet in height.
Made from steel or aluminium, they are
designed to withstand any strains and
tension throughout the course of the match.
EQUIPMENTS

·Volleyball Penalty Cards

Volleyball uses yellow and red cards. Yellow
cards are issued to warn players of bad
conduct without a penalty being enforced.
Continual misconduct will lead to a red card
and a sanction being applied. This may be for
their team to lose the point or to lose service
if they have possession. If the referee holds
up both the red and yellow card, then this is
a dismissal and the player must leave the
court for the rest of the set.

controlled hand and wrist motion.
 hand segments
open hand
This refers to using an open hand to serve, set, or volley the

Players may use their fingertips for more delicate touches,
especially when setting close to the net or trying to redirect
the ball with precision.

 COURT LINES AND
MARKINGS
To eliminate confusion, coaches, players and spectators alike must
all communicate using the same basic basketball terminology. Here
are the court lines & markings found on a typical basketball court:
 SIDELINES
The sidelines are the boundary lines that run along the sides of the court. A player is
out of bounds if they touch or cross these lines.
A basketball court is 50 feet wide and 94 feet long, the sidelines serve as boundaries as
well as baselines.
On out of these boundary lines are fans, head coach, player benches, and even media,.
 BASELINES/ENDLINES
The baseline or the endline runs from the sideline to sideline behind the blackboard at
the ends of the court.
They are located four feet behind the basket, and normally have a width of 50 feet
Baseline and Endline are interchangeable terms depending upon which team has a ball
position. Baseline is used for the offensive end ot the cour. Endline is used for the back
cour of defensive end of court
 3 POINT LINE
3 point line is a field goal in a basketball game made from beyond the three-point line, a
designated arc surrounding the basket.
A successful attempt is worth three points, in contrast to the two points awarded for
field goals made within the three-point line and one point for each made free throw
The 3-point arc is 22 ft to the center of the rim on the sides with a straight line
extending out 16 feet and 9 inches from the baseline. Past those poins the line extends
out 23 feet 9 inches ftom the center of the rim.
 DIVISION LINE
Otherwise known as the midline or half court line. Is the boundary line that splits the
basketball court into two.
The main purpose of the Division line is to separate the cout into two eual halves.
The division line represents boundary that the team offense must cross and stay in
front of in order to score a basket.
 FREE THROW LINE
is the line placed 15 feet in front of the hoop parallel with the end line. this is where all
free throws are attempted from. The free throw line is present at every level of basketball
from highschool to professional. It is also known as the foul line or charity stripe.
EQUIPMENTS
 SCOREBOARD
a large board for publicly displaying the score in a game.Most levels of sports from high
school and above use at least one scoreboard for keeping score, measuring time, and
displaying statistics. Scoreboards in the past used a mechanical clock and numeral cards
to display the score.
 BACKBOARD AND RIM
are flat elevated vertical boards with mounted baskets, or rims, used to assist or return the
basketball after a shot in a game of basketball. Commonly made of Plexiglas or tempered
glass, backboards are designed to prevent shattering when a player dunks.

BACKBOARD RIM & NET

 CLOTHES
Sport apparel is very important both for the team and the audience, When worn by the
members of the team, the audience can easily identify and set apart every team members.
Sports Uniforms bearing the company logo or company name can be the best advertising
vehicles. Your company can have a better advertising when your team is wearing uniforms

 BASKETBALL
A basketball is a spherical ball used in basketball games. Basketballs usually range in size
from very small promotional items that are only a few inches in diameter to extra large
balls nearly 2 feet in diameter used in training exercises.
The most important piece of equipment when playing basketball is the basketball itself.
This piece of equipment has been the fundamental tool ever since basketball was
created.
Basketballs are important to the game as they are used for possession and scoring.

RULES AND REGULATIONS
Rules for the offense
THE BASKETBALL TEAM ON
OFFENSE IS THE TEAM WITH
THE BASKETBALL. WHEN A
PLAYER HAS THE BASKETBALL
THERE ARE CERTAIN RULES
THEY MUST FOLLOW:
1) THE PLAYER MUST BOUNCE, OR DRIBBLE, THE BALL
WITH ONE HAND WHILE MOVING BOTH FEET. IF, AT
ANY TIME, BOTH HANDS TOUCH THE BALL OR THE
PLAYER STOPS DRIBBLING, THE PLAYER MUST ONLY
MOVE ONE FOOT. THE FOOT THAT IS STATIONARY IS
CALLED THE PIVOT FOOT.
2) THE BASKETBALL PLAYER CAN ONLY TAKE ONE TURN
AT DRIBBLING. IN OTHER WORDS, ONCE A PLAYER HAS
STOPPED DRIBBLING THEY CANNOT START ANOTHER
DRIBBLE. A PLAYER WHO STARTS DRIBBLING AGAIN IS
CALLED FOR A DOUBLE-DRIBBLING VIOLATION AND
LOOSES THE BASKETBALL TO THE OTHER TEAM. A
PLAYER CAN ONLY START ANOTHER DRIBBLE AFTER
ANOTHER PLAYER FROM EITHER TEAM TOUCHES OR
GAINS CONTROL OF THE BASKETBALL. THIS IS USUALLY
AFTER A SHOT OR PASS.
3) THE BALL MUST STAY IN BOUNDS. IF THE OFFENSIVE TEAM
LOOSES THE BALL OUT OF BOUNDS THE OTHER TEAM GETS
CONTROL OF THE BASKETBALL.

4) THE PLAYERS HAND MUST BE ON TOP OF THE BALL WHILE

DRIBBLING. IF THEY TOUCH THE BOTTOM OF THE BASKETBALL
WHILE DRIBBLING AND CONTINUE TO DRIBBLE THIS IS CALLED
CARRYING THE BALL AND THE PLAYER WILL LOSE THE BALL TO
THE OTHER TEAM.

5) ONCE THE OFFENSIVE TEAM CROSSES HALF COURT, THEY

MAY NOT GO BACK INTO THE BACKCOURT. THIS IS CALLED A
BACKCOURT VIOLATION. IF THE DEFENSIVE TEAM KNOCKS THE
BALL INTO THE BACKCOURT, THEN THE OFFENSIVE TEAM CAN
RECOVER THE BALL LEGALLY.
 Defensive
Rules
THE TEAM ON DEFENSE IS THE TEAM
WITHOUT THE BASKETBALL.
 1) The main rule for the defensive player is
not to foul. A foul is described as gaining an
unfair advantage through physical contact.
There is some interpretation that has to be
made by the referee, but, in general, the
defensive player may not touch the offensive
player in a way that causes the offensive
player to lose the ball or miss a shot.
 Rules for everyone
1) Although the foul rule is described above as a defensive rule, it
applies exactly the same to all players on the court including
offensive players.

2) Basketball players cannot kick the ball or hit it with their fist.

3) No player can touch the basketball while it is traveling

downward towards the basket or if it is on the rim. This is called
goaltending. (touching the ball on the rim is legal in some
games).
 Every player on the court is
subject to the same rules
regardless of the position
they play. The positions in
basketball are just for team
basketball strategy and
there are no positions in the
rules.
