Module
Volleyball as a Team Sports

LESSON 1: Volleyball and it’s background

A team sport includes any sport which involves players working together
towards a shared objective. A team sport is an activity in which a group of individuals,
on the same team, work together to accomplish an ultimate goal which is usually to
win.
Football, basketball, volleyball, baseball, and other team sports provide amazing
personal development opportunities that every student – regardless of his age – can
benefit from. The importance of teamwork is huge in every possible social environment
you can think of, and it shouldn’t be neglected.

Volleyball is a team sports played with a ball and a net. There are teams on
each side of the net. One team hits the ball over the net and into the other team's
court, the other team must then hit the ball back over the net and in bounds within
three tries without letting the ball touch the ground.
There are two main kinds of competitive volleyball played in the world right
now. They are team volleyball and beach volleyball. Both are Olympic sports and have
competitive leagues. Team volleyball is played indoors on a hard court with 6 people
per team. Beach volleyball is played outdoors on the sand with 2 players per team. The
rules, strategy, and discussion here will focus on team volleyball.

Volleyball can be a lot of fun to play. To play with friends you can play with any
number of people and most anyone can join in. To be a competitive player takes lot of
practice. Good height and jumping ability helps a lot.

History of Volleyball

Volleyball was originally invented by William Morgan in 1985. He was an


athletic director at the Young Men Christians Association (YMCA) and was trying to
come up with a game that would be fun, like basketball, but less taxing. Of course the
rules have changed some since then, but it quickly became a popular sport at the
YMCA. The name volleyball came about when a man named Alfred Halstead noticed
how the game had a volleying nature. People started calling it volley ball and the name
stuck.
Volleyball was first played as an official Olympic sport in the 1964 Olympics.
Japan won the first gold medal in women's volleyball and the USSR won the first gold
for men's volleyball.

Volleyball Equipment and Court

An indoor volleyball is typically white, but may have


some other colors as well. It's round with 8 or 16 panels and is
usually made of leather. The official indoor volleyball is 25.5 -
26.5 inches in circumference, weighs 9.2 - 9.9 ounces, and
has 4.3-4.6 psi air pressure. A youth volley ball is slightly
smaller. Beach volleyballs are slightly bigger, weigh the same,
but have much less air pressure.
The volleyball court is 18 meters long and 9 meters wide. It is divided in sides in
the middle by the net. The net is 1-meter-wide and is set up so that the top of the net
is 7 feet 11 5/8 inches above the ground (right around 8 feet). The only other key
feature is a line that is drawn on each side 3 meters from the net and parallel to the
net. This line is called the attack line. It defines the front row and back row areas.
LESSON 2: Volleyball Skills
Volleyball is a sports that requires you to master a complex skill set. Because
you rotate from playing front line positions to back line positions, you constantly are
shifting from setting up offensive plays to completing offensive plays. You also must
shift quickly from offense to defense. During any given sequence in volleyball, a player
must be prepared to execute a variety of skills.

SERVICE

The volleyball serve is the first opportunity for a


player to score a point. It begins each rally. Once you toss
the ball in the air you must contact the ball to send it over
the net to land inside the lines of the court.
Each player gets only one chance to serve. The
serve can touch the net and continue into the opponent's
court.
When the serving team loses a rally, it loses the
right to serve. The receiving team then rotates one position
on the court.

DIG

The "dig" is a forearm pass that is used to control


the ball and pass it to the setter at the net. It is usually
the first contact by the team and an effective shot to use
in defense, such as when receiving a spike. The "libero"
handles much of the team's serve reception and is
pivotal in backcourt defense.

 clasp both hands together


 one palm inside the other
 pointing both thumbs to the ground
 bent knees

SET

The "set" is an overhead pass used to change the direction of


the dig and put the ball in a good position for the spiker. The set is
usually the second contact in a rally and the person who sets the
ball the most is called the setter.
The setter on a volleyball team is like a point guard on a
basketball team who runs the offense and calls the plays.

SPIKE

The "spike" is when the ball is hit or smashed


across the net. It is the most powerful shot in Volleyball –
and the most effective way to win a rally.

BLOCK

A block is the first opportunity for a team on


defense to keep the team on offense from hitting into
their court. Once the whistle blows and your team serves the ball over the net, your
team is on defense, ready to defend your court.

Volleyball Drills

Volleyball drills are used to enhance various performance factors such as ball
control, footwork, and timing on approach jumps or blocks.

Coaches and players need to understand the importance of training with


purpose.

A purpose of a drill could be to fix a problem, or improve volleyball skills such


as passing or hitting.

Performing your drills with purpose has many benefits...

 If a player understands the purpose of the drill, rather than just going through
the motions, they will be more interested in the training.
 Drills for volleyball are important for developing habits. If players are constantly
focusing on how to perform a volleyball drill correctly, they will improve their
ability to focus during competition.
 If coaches will set goals and set a specific focus to a drill, they will have better
understanding of when to move on or adjust the drill for a better training effect.

Activity 2: Skill Execution


Make your own portfolio of picture album on how to execute the different Volleyball
skills by simply following the step by step procedure without using a ball. You may
use the picture as your guide.
