VOLLEYBALL

I. How to play volleyball

1. A volleyball game consists of two teams of six players each, separated by a net. The
six volleyball court positions are setter, middle blocker, outside hitter, opposite hitter,
libero and serving specialist.

To start, flip a coin to determine which team serves the ball first.

2. Then the two teams will rally—or hit the ball back and forth over the net—until a
fault occurs. There is a maximum of three hits per side.
3. The objective is to score points by sending the ball over the net, grounding it into the
opponent’s court.
4. Volleyball matches are made up of sets, typically three or five sets.
5. Three-set matches are two sets to 25 points and a third set to 15 points. Each set must
be won by two points. The first team to win two sets is the winner of the match.
6. Five-set matches are four sets to 25 points and a fifth set to 15 points. The team must
win by two points unless tournament rules dictate otherwise. The first team to win
three sets is the winner.
