TEST I Answer the following:

1. What is the main objective of volleyball?

 Volleyball is a sport played by two teams on a playing court divided by a net. There are
different versions available for specific circumstances in order to offer the versatility of the
game to everyone.
 The object of the game is to send the ball over the net in order to ground it on the opponent's
court, and to prevent the same effort by the opponent. The team has three hits for returning
the ball (in addition to the block contact). The ball is put in play with a service: hit by the
server over the net to the opponents. The rally continues until the ball is grounded on the
playing court, goes "out" or a team fails to return it properly. In Volleyball, the team winning
a rally scores a point (Rally Point System). When the receiving team wins a rally, it gains a
point and the right to serve, and its players rotate one position clockwise.
2.What does William G. Morgan, inventor of volleyball and James Naismith, inventor of basketball
have in common?
 They are in Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA), inventor of ballgames

3.What is volleyball?
 Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team
tries to score points by grounding a ball on
the other team's court under organized rules.
It has been a part of the official program of
the Summer Olympic Games since Tokyo
1964.

 Volleyball is a complex game of simple skills. The ball is spiked from up to 60 cm above the
height of a basketball hoop (about 3.65 metres) and takes fractions of a second to travel from
 the spiker to the receiver. That means the receiver must assess incoming angle, decide where
to pass the ball and then control their pass in the blink of an eye. A purely rebound sport (you
can't hold the ball), volleyball is a game of constant motion.
4. What do you call the scoring system of volleyball?
 Rally Point System

TEST II define the following:

UNDER HAND

 An underhand serve is a type of serve in

which the player holds the ball in one hand,
swings the other in an arc motion below the
waist and strikes the ball from the bottom with
a fist to put it in play. In an underhand serve,
the player does not toss the ball up in the air,
as in other serve attempts. Instead, the server
holds onto the ball and strikes it below their
waist with a closed fist.

Underhand serves are often much easier to receive and hit compared to other serve styles,
and thus are rarely employed in high level volleyball competition. An underhand serve does
not generate the same type of power as an overhand or jump serve, and are often not as
accurate. Although the serve is technically legal in high level competition, its’ use is rare.

Underhand serves are often utilized in youth leagues, and as players are initially learning to
play the game, as they are relatively easy to complete and return.

SKY BALL SERVE

 SKY BALL SERVE - a specific type of

underhand serve occasionally used in
beach volleyball, where the ball is hit so
high it comes down almost in a straight

TOP SPIN
  A topspin serve does exactly what its name implies – spins rapidly forward from the top. The
server tosses the ball a little higher than normal, strikes the ball towards the top of the back in
a down and outward motion and then follows through with his or her swing.

The topspin serve has a much more predictable movement than the floater serves, but it can
still be very difficult to handle because of the quick speed that is generated.

FLOATER SERVE

 A float serves, also known as a floater, is a

serve that does not spin at all. It is called
referred to as a floater because it moves in
extremely unpredictable ways, which
makes it difficult to receive, corral, and
pass. A float serve catches the air and can
move unexpectedly to the right or the left
or it can drop suddenly.

JUMP SERVE

 The third common type of volleyball serve is the

jump serve. The jump serve utilizes an even higher
toss than the topspin serves, and that toss should be
several feet in front of the server. In a jump serve,
the server utilizes more of an attack approach,
jumping and striking the ball in the air. The extra
motion generated allows the server to put
additional power on the ball and this can make the
serve very difficult to handle for the receiving
team.

The drawback to a jump serve is that all that all of the extra motion utilized in the serve
process can lead to a higher incidence of serving errors. Jump serves are at times difficult to
control for the server, and can also work to tire the server out.

Typically, jump serves have a degree of topspin on them, but it is also possible to jump serve
a floater with no spin at all.
JUMP FLOAT

 A jump float serve in volleyball is a type of

serving technique that creates a more
favorable trajectory for the server. It also
puts added pressure on the opposing team.

DIG

 The first contact made after an attacker from the

other team sends the ball over to the defensive
team is said to be a “dig”. Digs can be made
with the forearms, open or closed hands or any
other part of the body. The first contact made
after an attacker from the other team sends the
ball over to the defensive team is said to be a
“dig”. Digs can be made with the forearms, open
or closed hands or any other part of the body.
 Digs are only given when players receive an attacked ball and it is kept in play. A BALL
THAT HAS BEEN TOUCHED BY BLOCKERS AND THEN PLAYED BY THE
DEFENSE IS A DIG

SPIKE

 spiking is the act of scoring a point by

slamming the ball over the net into the
opposing court effectively and aggressively
 Spiking is a form of attacking and a very
popular offensive move used in volleyball. It
is the act of jumping and hitting the ball
down into the opponent's court, which
hopefully results in a "kill". There are
various types of hits - the outside, middle, and back hits based on who the hitter is.

BLOCK
  This move/contact is made by a player at the net
to prevent the ball from coming over when an
opposing player is sending the ball over the net.
This move is made with two extended arms with
open hands above their head. This contact does
not count as one of the three contacts a team is
allowed to make. The same player that blocks
the ball may contact the ball again as the first of
their team’s three contacts. When two players
block at the same time it is called a “double
block”. When three players block at the same time it is called a “triple block”.

SET
 The second contact (after a pass or dig) is
considered a “set”. The player who sets is
called the “setter”. Usually, a set is made
with two hands overhead. A bump set is
made with a player’s forearms. A player
can also set the ball over the net on the
first, second or third contact with the same
motion.

PASS

 Pass. The first contact after a serve is

considered a “pass”. The player who
passes the ball is called the “passer”.
Usually, a pass is made with a player's
forearms but can also be made overhead
with two open hands

TEST III Enumerate the following:

1. Equipment’s used in volleyball (include optional equipment’s)
 NET AND POLE
Net is one meter long and 9.5 to 10 meter wide. It is
tied vertically above the center line of the court to
posts fixed at either side of the court, at a distance of
one meter from the sidelines. The center of the net
should lie 2.43 meter above the ground for men and
2.24 meter for women. At the sides the net may be
higher by a maximum of 2cm, however it should be
tied at the same height at both the posts.

The court width is marked on the net with a tape and a

flexible antenna of one meter extends from the tape
marker on both sides of the net. These markings help
the referee determine when the ball goes outside the
court.
 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 colors, however for

international tournaments, FIVB approved balls should
only be used.

 VOLLEYBALL COURT

Volleyball Courts are flat horizontal playing surfaces

sized for the game of volleyball. Indoor volleyball
court surfaces are required to be made of resilient
wood flooring or poured with a synthetic urethane.
The size of an indoor volleyball court is the same as
an outdoor court.

Volleyball courts are regulated at 59’ (18 m) in

length with a width of 29.5' (9 m). Attack lines
dividing the front and back rows are marked 9’10” (3
m) parallel to the net. Free zones at a minimum of
9’10” (3 m) are required around the entirety of the court with generous clearances up to 16’5” (5 m)
on the sides and 21’4” (6.5 m) in the back.

 ANTENNA
 The volleyball antenna is a rod which is attached to the
net at each end

 Other Equipment
Players of a team are uniformly dressed in jerseys, knee
pads, shorts, socks and sport shoes. Jerseys of each
team has a different color.

2. Enumerate at least 10 rules and regulations in volleyball?

 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 antenna, the floor completely outside the court, any of the net or
cables outside the antennae, the referee stands 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.
 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.
