    Mechanics of Volleyball

     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.
     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.
     The objective is to score points by sending the ball over the net, grounding it into the
    opponent’s court.
     Volleyball matches are made up of sets, typically three or five sets.
     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.
     Three-set matches are two sets to 25 points and a third set to 15 points. The team must win
    by two points unless tournament rules dictate otherwise. The first team to win two sets is the
    winner.

    Volleyball Rules

     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.

    Volleyball Rule Violations

    Committing any of these volleyball rule violations results in a point for the opponent.

     Stepping on or across the service line when serving while making contact with the ball.
     Failure to serve the ball over the net successfully.
     Ball-handling errors and contacting the ball illegally (double touching, lifting, carrying,
    throwing, etc.)
     Touching the net with any part of the body while the ball is in play.
     Blocking a ball coming from the opponent’s court and contacting the ball when reaching
    over the net if your opponent has not used 3 contacts AND has a player there to make a
    play on the ball.
     Attacking a ball coming from the opponent’s court and contacting the ball when reaching
    over the net when the ball has not yet broken the vertical plane of the net.
