EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES IN VOLLEYBALL
1. The Playing Area

The playing area includes the playing court and the free zone. It shall be rectangular
and symmetrical.
The playing court is a rectangle measuring 18 x 9 m, surrounded by a free zone which
is a minimum of 3 m wide on all sides. The free playing space is the space above the playing
area which is free from any obstructions. The free playing space shall measure a minimum of
7 m in height from the playing surface.
1.1 Lines in the Court

All lines are 5 cm wide. They must be of a light color which is different from the
color of the floor and from any other lines.
BOUNDARY LINES. Two side lines and two end lines mark the playing court. Both
side lines and end lines are drawn inside the dimensions of the playing court.
CENTRE LINE. The axis of the center line divides the playing court into two equal
courts measuring 9 x 9 m each; however, the entire width of the line is considered to belong
to both courts equally. This line extends beneath the net from sideline to side line.
ATTACK LINE. On each court, an attack line, whose rear edge is drawn 3 m back
from the axis of the center line, marks the front zone.

1.2 ZONES AND AREAS
FRONT ZONE. Each court the front zone is limited by the axis of the centre line and
the rear edge of the attack line. The front zone is considered to extend beyond the side lines to
the end of the free zone.
SERVICE ZONE. The service zone is a 9 m wide area behind each end line. It is
laterally limited by two short lines, each 15 cm long, drawn 20 cm behind the end line as an
extension of the side lines. Both short lines are included in the width of the service zone.
SUBSTITUTION ZONE. The substitution zone is limited by the extension of both
attack lines up to the scorer's table.
LIBERO REPLACEMENT ZONE. The Libero Replacement zone is part of the
free zone on the side of the team benches, limited by the extension of the attack line up to the
end line.
WARM-UP AREA. The warm-up areas, sized approximately 3 x 3 m, are in both of
the bench side corners, outside the free zone.

DIMENSIONS OF PLAYING EQUIPMENT
The Ball
Volleyballs have a diameter of 8.15”-8.39” (20.7-21.3 cm) and circumference of
22.59”-26.34” (65-67 cm). The mass of a Volleyball is between 9-10 oz (260-280 g) with a
pressure between 4.26-4.61 psi (29.4-31.8 kPa). Volleyball has a sphere form and has 18
rectangular panels that are made of synthetic or genuine leather. The panels are arranged in 6
identical sections of 3 panels each. The Volleyball has a valve that allows its internal air
pressure to be adjusted is available. Synthetic leather material and colour combinations of balls
used in international official competitions should comply with FIVB standards.
The Net
Volleyball nets span the entire width of the court (29’6” | 9 m) and are held rigid by
outer poles typically set 3’ (.91 m) from the court. The center height of a volleyball net differs
for men’s and women’s play with men’s nets regulated at a height of 7’ 11.69” (2.43 m) and
women’s at 7’ 4.35” (2.24 m). The dimensions of the playing court are often identified on the
net surface by two antenna extending 32” (80 cm) above the net. Volleyball nets have a surface
height of 39” (1 m) from top to bottom and are constructed with a polypropylene or nylon
netting with a mesh size of 3.9” (10 cm) and are capped with stiff headbands along the
perimeters.

The Court
Volleyball courts are regulated at 59’ (18 m) in length with a width of 29.5' (9 m). Attack
lines dividing the front and back rows are marked 9’10” (3 m) parallel to the net. Free zones at
a minimum of 9’10” (3 m) are required around the entirety of the court with generous
clearances up to 16’5” (5 m) on the sides and 21’4” (6.5 m) in the back.
The Side Bands

Two white bands are fastened vertically to the net and placed directly above each
sideline. They are 5 cm wide and 1 m long and are considered as part of the net.
The Antennae
An antenna is a flexible rod, 1.80 m long and 10 mm in diameter, made of fiberglass or
similar material. An antenna is fastened at the outer edge of each side band. The antennae are
placed on opposite sides of the net. The top 80 cm of each antenna extends above the net and
is marked with 10 cm stripes of contrasting color, preferably red and white. The antennae are
considered as part of the net and laterally delimit the crossing space.
