Ball
Volley ball a spherical ball of
65-67 cm circumference. It is
made of leather or any
synthetic material and
weighs 260-280 g.
Volleyballs are available in
various colours, however for international
tournaments, FIVB approved balls should only
be used.
Net
Court
Volleyball is played in a rectangular court, divided into two
equal halves across the length by a net tightly stretched between
two poles, fixed at either sides of the court.
Court Design
A standard international volleyball court is an indoor,
rectangular in shape whose sides are 18 meters and the ends are
9 meters. The surface of the court is neither slippery nor rough,
to avoid injuries. International courts have wooden or synthetic
flooring.
The court is divided into two similar squares of 9 X 9 meters
by a centre line, one for each team. The court is further divided
into the following zones:
(i) Free zone – The playing surface is surrounded by a free zone up to
3 meters on all sides. The free zone in international courts is 5 m from
the longer sides and 8 metre from the shorter sides.
(ii) Front zone – The front zone in each half extends from the centre
line to the attack line. It is drawn 3 meters away from the centre line on
both sides of the court.
(iii) Service zone – This zone is used for servicing the ball to the
opponent court behind the end lines and has a width of
9 metres. The player has to be in the service zone
while jumping or serving.
(iv) Substitution zone – The substitution zone lies
between the scorer’s table and the attack line.
(v) Libero replacement zone – The Libero
replacement zone is a part of the free zone beside team
benches and between the extended attack line and the
end line.
Fundamental Skills
Rally – A ball is serviced by a player and players of both
teams hit it till a foul is committed or ball falls on the
ground. This period, from the point it is put to service till it
halts is called a rally. It is a complete rally if one of the
teams scores a point.
Service – Players hit the ball with their fist, wrist, or arm,
from the service zone and it has to move above the net to
the other teams play zone.
Warm up sessions – Players can get used to the
environment and practice in a short six to ten minute warm
up sessions before the actual game begins.
Attack hit – The hit that sends the ball to the opponent
side
Positional Fault – Players are numbered in anti-clockwise
starting from the player in extreme right position in the
back row. So, players in the front row are numbered 4, 3
and 2 and players in the back row are numbered 5, 6 and 1
from left to right. They should lie in the same positions
declared before beginning a set, when ball is served, else
they earn a fault. However, after the service they may
move within their court.
Rotational Fault – If a receiving team earns a chance to
serve, its players change positions and move clockwise,
i.e. player in 1st position moves to 6th, player in 2nd
position moves to 1st, etc. Not changing
positions according to this order leads to a
fault. An exception to this rule is the Libero
who cannot serve or enter the front court.
Serving Fault – Players should serve
according to the serving order. They should hit
the ball according to the rules and when
instructed. Not complying with these rules
leads to a serving fault.
Double fault – If opponents commit faults successively,
they have to play the rally again. This scenario is called a
Double Fault
Blocking – Players near the net may jump and hit the ball
near the net after an attack hit. Sometimes the ball doesn’t
even completely cross the net. This action is referred to as
blocking.
Crossing space – The gap or space between the antennae
and above the net is termed as Crossing Space. This space
can also extend to the roofs inside the indoor courts. The
ball should cross the net only through the crossing space.
Rules
When the ball is in play, it shouldn’t cross the side lines and end lines. At the net
the ball should stay between the antennae.
Players are not prevented from hitting the ball at the same time. But, when two
played hit it, they have made two hits.
Two players from opposing teams may hit the ball at the same time, but if the
ball goes out of the court, then the team at the other side of the court is awarded a
fault.
Players shouldn’t cross the centre line while the ball is in play. Sometimes their
hands may reach the opponents court while trying to block a ball, but their feet
shouldn’t be placed in the opponent area and they should never interfere with the
opponent hits.
They shouldn’t touch the net in such a way that it obstructs the game or
interferes with the opponents play. However, the ball may touch the net or get
struck in it. It can be hit back and brought into play.
No player should obstruct opponents from hitting the ball or moving.
After the referee whistles and instructs for a service, the player should serve the
ball within 8 seconds
The front-row players should deliver an attack hit only from their playing
space.
A back-row player should deliver an attack hit only away from the front zone,
but may reach the front zone after the hit. But, if the ball is too low, lower than the
top of the net, he/she may deliver an attack hit by moving to the front zone.
A receiving team shouldn’t deliver an attack hit from the
front zone when the ball is still higher than the top of the
net.
A ball shouldn’t be blocked just after a service.
Players shouldn’t catch the ball and throw it.
They should only hit the ball.
