INTRODUCTION
Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each
team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized
rules.
The complete set of rules is extensive, but play essentially proceeds as follows: a player
on one of the teams begins a 'rally' by serving the ball (tossing or releasing it and then
hitting it with a hand or arm), from behind the back boundary line of the court, over the
net, and into the receiving team's court. The receiving team must not let the ball be
grounded within their court. The team may touch the ball up to three times to return the
ball to the other side of the court, but individual players may not touch the ball twice
consecutively.
HISTORY
William G. Morgan invented the sport in 1895 while he was the YMCA physical
education director in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Because he originally derived the game
from badminton, he initially named the sport mintonette. He was a one-time student of
basketball inventor James Naismith and invented the game for his clients at the YMCA,
most of whom were middle-aged businessmen for whom the physical demands of
basketball were too great.
GROUND MEASUREMENTS
A volleyball court is 9 m × 18 m (29.5 ft × 59.1 ft), divided into equal square halves by a
net with a width of one meter (39.4 in). The top of the net is 2.43 m (7 ft 11 11⁄16 in)
above the center of the court for men's competition, and 2.24 m (7 ft 4 1⁄4 in) for
women's competition, varied for veterans and junior competitions.
EQUIPMENTS
- Volleyball balls
- Volleyball Net
- Kneepads
- Shoes
FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS
Competitive teams master six basic skills: serve, pass, set, attack, block and dig.
1. Serve: A player stands behind the inline and serves the ball in an attempt to drive it
into the opponent's court.
2. Pass: Also called reception, the pass is the attempt by a team to properly handle the
opponent's serve or any form of attack.
3. Set: The set is usually the second contact that a team makes with the ball.
RULES AND REGULATIONS
- 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 is out if it hits an antennae, the floor completely outside the court, or any non-
playable area.
TERMINOLOGIES
- ACE
A serve that is not passable and results immediately in a point.
- APPROACH
Fast stride toward the net by a spiker before he jumps in the air.
- ATTACK
The offensive action of hitting the ball.
- BACK SET
A set delivered behind the setter’s back, which is subsequently hit by an attacker.
FAMOUS PLAYERS
- Karch Kiraly
- Jimmy George
- Ivan Zaytsev
- Mike Bright
- Larry Rundle
- Pedro Velasco
AWARDS
- FIVB Grand Cross Award: The highest honour from the International Volleyball
Federation (FIVB).
- Back row player attacking a ball inside the front zone (the area inside the 3M/10-foot
line) when the ball is completely above the net.
FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS (CONTINUED)
4. Attack: The attack, also known as the spike, is usually the third contact a team makes
with the ball.
5. Block: Blocking refers to the actions taken by players standing at the net to stop or
alter an opponent's attack.
6. Dig: Digging is the ability to prevent the ball from touching one's court after a spike or
attack.

INTRODUCTION
Volleyball is a globally popular team sport played between two teams of six players each.
The goal of the game is to score points by sending the ball over the net and grounding it
onto the opponent's court. This sport was invented by William G. Morgan in 1895,
inspired by badminton, basketball, and tennis. Volleyball has become one of the most
played and watched sports worldwide, featuring both indoor and beach volleyball
competitions.
Volleyball gained widespread recognition during the early 20th century when it was
adopted by YMCA and other international organizations. The introduction of
international championships and the formation of FIVB in 1947 helped globalize the
sport.
