Basic Volleyball Rules: How to Play

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 score points, a team must send the ball over the net, grounding it into the opponent’s court.

Here are the fundamental, must-know rules of a volleyball game:

 Only 6 players on the floor at any given time: 3 in the front row and 3 in the back row.
 There is a maximum of 3 hits per side.
 Points are made on every serve for the winning team of 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.

1
  3-set matches are two sets to 25 points and a third set to 15. Each set must be won by two points. The
winner is the first team to win two sets.
 5-set matches are four sets to 25 points and a fifth set to 15. The team must win by 2 points unless
tournament rules dictate otherwise. The first team to win three sets is the winner.

Basic 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.
 Crossing the court centerline with any part of your body, with the exception of a hand or foot. It is only
considered a violation if the entire hand or entire foot crosses the court centerline.
 Serving out of rotation or out of order.
 Back row player blocking (deflecting a ball coming from the opponent) when, at the moment of contact,
the back row player is near the net and has part of their body above the top of the net. This is an illegal
block.
 Back row player attacking a ball inside the front zone (the area inside the 3M/10-foot line) when, at the
moment of contact, the ball is completely above the net. This is an illegal attack.

indoor court dimension is 9 meters by 18 meters with an attack line 3 meters from the center line
on each side of the court.

INJURY
Sports injuries occur during exercise or while participating in a sport. Children are particularly at risk for these types
of injuries, but adults can get them, too.

You’re at risk for sports injuries if you:

 haven’t been regularly active

 don’t warm up properly before exercise
 play contact sports

Read on to learn more about sports injuries, your treatment options, and tips for preventing them in the first place.

TYPES OF SPORTS INJURIES

Different sports injuries produce different symptoms and complications. The most common types of sports injuries
include:

 Sprains. Overstretching or tearing the ligaments results in a sprain. Ligaments are pieces of tissue that
connect two bones to one another in a joint.
 Strains. Overstretching or tearing muscles or tendons results in a sprain. Tendons are thick, fibrous cords of
tissue that connect bone to muscle. Strains are commonly mistaken for sprains. Here’s how tell them apart.

3
  Knee injuries. Any injury that interferes with how the knee joint moves could be a sports injury. It could
range from an overstretch to a tear in the muscles or tissues in the knee.
 Swollen muscles. Swelling is a natural reaction to an injury. Swollen muscles may also be painful and weak.
 Achilles tendon rupture. The Achilles tendon is a thin, powerful tendon at the back of your ankle. During
sports, this tendon can break or rupture. When it does, you may experience sudden, severe pain and
difficulty walking.
 Fractures. Bone fractures are also known as broken bones.
 Dislocations. Sports injuries may dislocate a bone in your body. When that happens, a bone is forced out of
its socket. This can be painful and lead to swelling and weakness.
 Rotator cuff injury. Four pieces of muscle work together to form the rotator cuff. The rotator cuff keeps your
shoulder moving in all directions. A tear in any of these muscles can weaken the rotator cuff.

Sports injuries treatment

The RICE method is a common treatment regimen for sports injuries. It stands for:

 rest
 ice
 compression
 elevation

This treatment method is helpful for mild sports injuries. For best results, follow the RICE method within the first 24
to 36 hours after the injury. It can help reduce swelling and prevent additional pain and bruising in the early days
after a sports injury. Here’s how to follow RICE, plus a recovery timeline.

Both over-the-counter and prescription medications are available to treat sports injuries. Most of them provide relief
from pain and swelling.

If your sports injury looks or feels severe, make an appointment to see your doctor. Seek emergency care if the
injured joint shows signs of:

 severe swelling and pain

 visible lumps, bumps, or other deformities
 popping or crunching sounds when you use the joint
 weakness or inability to put weight on the joint
 instability

Also seek emergency attention if you experience any of the following after an injury:

4
  difficulty breathing
 dizziness
 fever

Serious sports injuries can require surgery and physical therapy. If the injury doesn’t heal within two weeks, contact
your doctor for an appointment.

Sports injuries prevention

The best way to prevent a sports injury is to warm up properly and stretch. Cold muscles are prone to overstretching
and tears. Warm muscles are more flexible. They can absorb quick movements, bends, and jerks, making injury less
likely.

Also take these steps to avoid sports injuries:

Use the proper technique

Learn the proper way to move during your sport or activity. Different types of exercise require different stances and
postures. For example, in some sports, bending your knees at the right time can help avoid an injury to your spine or
hips.

Have the proper equipment

Wear the right shoes. Make sure you have the proper athletic protection. Ill-fitting shoes or gear can increase your
risk for injury.

Don’t overdo it

If you do get hurt, make sure you’re healed before you start the activity again. Don’t try to “work through” the pain.

When you return after letting your body recover, you may need to ease yourself back into the exercise or sport
rather than jumping back in at the same intensity.

Cool down

Remember to cool down after your activity. Usually, this involves doing the same stretching and exercises involved in
a warmup.
