VOLLEYBALL EQUIPMENTS THE RULES OF VOLLEYBALL Only 6 players on the floor at any given time: 3 in the front row and 3 in the back row. Points are made on every serve for the winning team of the rally (rally-point scoring). Players may not hit the ball twice in succession (a block is not considered a hit). Ball may be played off the net during a volley and on a serve. A ball hitting a boundary line is in. A ball is out if it hits an antennae, the floor completely outside the court, any of the net or cables outside the antennae, the referee stand or pole, or the ceiling above a non-playable area. It is legal to contact the ball with any part of a player’s body. It is illegal to catch, hold or throw the ball. A player cannot block or attack a serve from on or inside the 10-foot line. After the serve, front-line players may switch positions at the net. Matches are made up of sets; the number depends on level of play.
BASIC VIOLATIONS IN VOLLEYBALL
1. Consecutive Contacts. A player may not hit the ball 2 times consecutively except when blocking, provided the contacts take place simultaneously. However, a player may make consecutive contacts on the teams first team contact, provided the contacts occur during one action.
2. Four Hits. It's a violation for a team to hit the ball 4 times before returning it.
3. Assisted Hit. It's illegal for a player or any object to assist a
teammate in playing the ball. 4. Catch. It's illegal to catch or throw the ball. The ball must rebound from the hit.
5. Ball Crossing the Net Outside the Crossing Space. The ball must cross the net within the crossing space. The ball must cross over the net, between the antennaes and their imaginary extension, and without contacting the ceiling.
6. Reaching Over the Net. There are official rules for playing the ball at the net.
7. Penetration Under the Net. It's permitted for a player to
step under the net into the opponents court provided that some part of the penetrating hand or foot is in contact with or is directly above the center line.
8. Contact with the Net. Contact with the net is only a fault if contact is made during the action of playing the ball or if it interferes with play.
9. Foot Fault. At the moment of service contact or take off for a
jump serve, the server must not touch the court or the ground outside the service zone. After contact, he/she may step or land outside the service zone or inside the court.
10. Attacking Faults. The following are volleyball violations
for attacking...
A back row player completes an attack hit from the front
zone, if at the moment of contact, the ball is entirely above the top of the net.
An opponent completes an attack hit on a served ball, when
the ball is in the front zone and the ball is entirely above the top of the net.
The libero completes an attack hit, if at the moment of
contact, the ball is entirely above the top of the net.
A player completes an attack hit from higher than the top of
the net when the ball is coming from an overhand finger pass by a libero in the front zone.
11. Blocking within the Opponents Space. A blocker may
place his/her hands beyond the net provided this action doesn't interfere with the opponents play. It's legal to block beyond the net, provided...
The ball would have crossed the net if not touched by a
player and no member of the attacking team was in position to make a play.
The ball is falling near the net and no member of the
attacking team is in position to make a play.
Contact with the ball is made after 3 team contacts.
Setter
The setter is the main contributor to the offense of the volleyball
team. One of the requirements of the setter is having a delicate touch to set the ball perfectly for one of the attacking players. Communication is extremely important for the setter because they need to get the rest of the players on the same page. Without the setter, there wouldn’t be hard spikes or technical ball movement.
Outside Hitter
The outside hitter is also known as the left-side hitter and is the lead attacker in the offensive strategy. To be a successful outsider hitter, you must be able to jump high, be quick on your feet, and be ready to adapt to different situations. The volleyball won’t always be placed where the outsider hitter would like, so they need to be prepared for hits from a variety of places.
Opposite Hitter
Also known as the right-side hitter, these players need to be a
perfect balance of both offense and defense. They will also get many opportunities to hit the volleyball, so similar to the outside hitter, jumping ability is vital. The main difference that sets the opposite hitter apart is their defensive responsibility. Being able to receive the serve from the opposing team is just one of the many requirements of this specialized position.
Middle Blocker The middle blocker, sometimes known as the middle hitter, is the tallest player on the volleyball team. Their main role for the team is being the first line of defense against the opposing team’s hits. The middle blocker needs to read the other team’s attackers to quickly raise his or her arms above the net in a blocking attempt. However, this is not a defense-only position. The middle blocker will have chances for quick points throughout the set.
Libero
The libero can become confusing for non-volleyball players. They
can only play on the back row of the court, and because of this, are the ideal person to receive a hit from the opposite team. There are set rules the libero needs to follow, such as not attacking the ball at the net, playing a set for an attacker from the front, and more. You can always tell a libero apart from the rest of the team because they wear a different colored jersey.

Defensive Specialist
The thing that sets the defensive specialist apart from other volleyball positions is their ability to substitute out any player on the court. This will count against the team’s total of 12 substitutions. The defensive specialist traditionally focuses on ball control and passing and works well with the libero.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF OFFICIATING OFFICIAL IN
VOLLEYBALL A first (or main) referee, second referee, a scorer and two line judges are required to umpire an official game of volleyball. Just like most sports, the main referee upholds the rules throughout the whole game and their decision is final.
