VOLLEYBALL
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
INTRODUCTION
• What is a volleyball sport?

-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. It has been a part of the
official program of the Summer Olympic Games since
Tokyo 1964.
-Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G.
Morgan, physical director of the Young Men's
Christian Association (YMCA) in Holyoke,
Massachusetts. It was designed as an indoor sport for
businessmen who found the new game of basketball
too vigorous.
• Morgan called the sport “mintonette,” until a
professor from Springfield College in
Massachusetts noted the volleying nature of
play and proposed the name of “volleyball.” The
original rules were written by Morgan and
printed in the first edition of the Official
Handbook of the Athletic League of the Young
Men’s Christian Associations of North
America (1897).
• International volleyball competition began in
1913 with the first Far East Games, in Manila.
During the early 1900s and continuing until
after World War II, volleyball in Asia was played
on a larger court, with a lower net, and nine
players on a team.
• Beach volleyball—usually played, as its name implies, on
a sand court with two players per team was introduced in
California in 1930
• The FIVB-sponsored world volleyball championships (for men only
in 1949; for both men and women in 1952 and succeeding years)
led to acceptance of standardized playing rules and officiating.
Volleyball became an Olympic sport for both men and women at
the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
• The Pan American Games (involving South, Central, and North
America) added volleyball in 1955, and Brazil, Mexico, Canada,
Cuba, and the United States are frequent contenders for top
honors. In Asia, China, Japan, and Korea dominate competition.
Volleyball, especially beach volleyball, is played in Australia,
New Zealand, and throughout the South Pacific

VOLLEYBALL SCORING SYSTEM

Basic rules of volleyball scoring:
-A side out is used as reference to an absolute rule, this is when only the serving team can score. Although now the
meaning of side out has changed . A side out now referred to hen the receiving team gets to serve even if they get a point or
not. The scoring system was changed to the Rally system. A rally is a sequence of playing actions that decides each point
from the moment the ball is served until the ball is out of bounds. If the serving team wins the rally they continue to serve,
and if the receiving team wins the rally, they receive the opportunity to serve.
Rally Scoring:
-Rally scoring is when a team gets a point when the other team fails to return the ball over the net, or when the ball goes
out of bounds, commits an infraction or makes a service error.
•w
SIDE SCORING
-When the opposing team fails to return the ball over the net, hit the ball out of bounds, commits an infraction or
make a service error, the serving team scores a point. This also counts for the receiving team.
Rally Game Parameters:
-Games are played until a team hits 25 points and at least has a two-point lead to win the set. Most games has
five sets, so to win a team must have won three out of five sets. The last set goes up to 15 points and a team must
have a two-point lead to win the set. With side out scoring, all sets are played up to 15 points and the team must
at least have a two-point lead. Some organizations say that the first team to win 17 points wins the set, so in this
case the two-point margin is not needed.
GOVERNING BODY
•-The FIVB is the global governing body responsible for all forms
of volleyball, with currently 221 affiliated national federations and
