VOLLEYBALL

Volleyball was originated in the United States, and is now just achieving the type
of popularity in the U.S that it has received on a global basis, where it ranks
behind only soccer among participation sports. In 1895, William G. Morgan, an
instructor at the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) in Holyoke, Mass,
decided to blend elements of basketball, baseball, tennis, and handball to create
a games for his classes businessmen which would demand less physical contact
than basketball. He created a game of volleyball (at that time called “mintonette”).
Morgan borrowed the net from tennis, and raised it 6 feet 6 inches above the
floor, just above the average man’s head. During a demonstration game,
someone remarked to Morgan that the players seemed to be volleying the ball
back and forth over the net, and perhaps “volleyball” would be more descriptive
name for the sport. On July 7, 1896 at Springfield College the first game
“volleyball” was played.

BASIC EQUIPMENT OF VOLLEYBALL

The Ball
The standard volleyball is made of leather or synthetic leather, weighs between
9 and 10 ounces and has a circumference of 25.6 to 26.4 inches. The ball has a
rubber bladder and can be one color or a combination of colors. Synthetic leather
is lighter and is fine for beginner players. Junior volleyballs for children 12 years
old and younger weigh between 7 and 8 ounces.
The Net and Court

The outdoor volleyball court measures 18 x 9 m, surrounded by a free zone that

is 2 meters wide on all sides. The minimum playing space for U.S. volleyball
competitions is 7 meters. The volleyball net is 32 feet long by 3 feet wide. For
women, the net should be 7 feet, 4 1/8 inches high. For men, the net should be
7 feet, 11 5/8 inches high. U.S. regulation volleyball playing surfaces must be
flat and not present any hazards to the players.
Lines
The playing court is marked by two sidelines and two end lines. All lines must
be 2 inches wide and must be created with a light color that is easy to discern
from the playing court. An attack line should be placed three meters from the
center line. The center line divides the court into two 9 x 9 meter courts.
Posts and Cables
The volleyball net structure is held together with metal cables and posts. Posts
are placed 0.5 to 1.0 meter outside the sidelines and 2.55 meters high. Posts
should be round, smooth and padded, to prevent injury to the players should
they dive or crash into them. Metal wires and cables may need to be covered if
it is determined that they present a danger to the players.
Antenna and Side Bands
Antenna are flexible rods that are 1.8 meters long made of fiberglass, fastened
at the outer edge of each side band. Side bands are two white bands attached
vertically to the net and placed above each sideline.
Knee pads
Knee pads should be sturdy enough to protect your knees from falls, slides and
dives, but flexible enough to allow you to bend comfortably. Your volleyball knee
pads must be made of fabric that breathes and manages moisture. Good quality
pads have a gel or foam shock-absorbing material that will cover and protect
your patella. It is best to purchase your pads from a reliable sporting goods store
that will allow you to try them on. If you have difficulty finding the right fit, have
the store professional measure you and order custom-fit pads. Popular volleyball
knee pad brands include Asics, Mizuno, adidas, Nike and Mikasa.
Shoes
Arch and ankle support is key when choosing a volleyball shoe. Mizuno, Asics
and Nike are just a few of the popular brands of volleyball shoes, which are
lightweight, allowing you to be faster on your feet, as well as bearing good shock
absorption on your toes. Volleyball shoes also provide for better lateral
movement than typical running or cross-training shoes.
Clothing and Jewelry
All clothing should be lightweight to allow maximum flexibility and breath-
ability, as well as made of a material that absorbs sweat and keeps skin dry.
Spandex shorts are a good option, as they are flexible, light and absorb odor.
Socks, while not required, absorb sweat and prevent blisters. Jewelry is not
permitted in volleyball, with the exception of smooth wedding bands. Glasses
must be worn with a strap to keep them secure.

Serving
A properly executed serve provides the serving team with a significant advantage
over the receiving team. A serve that is properly placed can cause players on the
receiving team to get out of position or attempt awkward returns. The server
must stand behind the service line at the end of the court. There are three
serving styles in volleyball. The underhand serve, the overhand serve and the
jump serve. The underhand serve generally is a relatively slow serve that travels
high in the air toward the rear of the court. Both the overhand serve and the
jump serve are fast serves frequently struck with top spin.
a. Underhand Serve
The athlete should position the feet behind the service line, shoulder width
apart and facing perpendicular to the endline (as if planning to hit a golf ball
or softball over the net). The athlete will do the following: Hold the ball in the
off hand in front of the body, palm up. With off hand, toss the ball
approximately .3meters (1foot) straight up in the air. As the ball is coming
down, swing the dominant hand with the closed fist across the body in the
natural motion into the bottom third of the ball, toward the net. The amount
of force the athlete needs to apply is determined by how far into the opposing
court the serve is intended to land.
b. Overhand serve
The athlete’s position is behind the service line, facing the net, with the feet
slightly staggered shoulder width apart. The foot opposite the dominant hand
should be slightly forward (left forward for a right handed athlete), toes
pointing at the spot the server is aiming at, with his or her body weight resting
primarily on the back foot.
Passing
Passing also is known as "bumping" in an offensive sequence and "digging" when
used to defend an offensive shot. Passing is executed by interlocking your
fingers, holding your arms straight and away from your body. Make contact with
the ball on your forearms and follow through to your target. The only allowable
service return is a pass, so it is frequently the first shot in a three-shot sequence.
Setting
Setting, or overhead passing, typically is the second shot in a three-shot
sequence. A properly executed set is placed close and above the net. You want
to place the ball about four feet from the net so on the third shot, typically a
spike, your teammate won't hit the net on her follow through.
Hitting
Generally, you want to hit the ball with the greatest force possible on the third
shot of a sequence. When the ball is struck forcefully downward, above the
height of the net, it is referred to as a "spike" or "kill" shot. To execute a kill shot,
a player may use either a two- or three-step approach. Strike the ball at the top
of your vertical leap, using the heel of your palm, followed by wrapping your
hand on the ball with your fingers and snapping your wrist.
Blocking
Blocking is a defensive play made close to the net. The object of a block is to
deflect an offensive shot directly back toward your opponent. Block attempts can
be made by individual players or pairs of players. Blocking is not allowed on
serves. Blocks often are utilized as a defense against "kill" shots.
OFFICIALS
1st Referee who is responsible for making the final decision.
2nd Referee who assists the 1st referee to ensure the game is played without
faults.
Line Judges who are responsible for signalling whether a ball has landed in
or out of bounds.
Scorekeepers who are responsible for keeping score and ensuring the game
is played in the correct order.
 Assistant Scorekeeper who helps the scorer keep on top of other factors
related to scoring such as monitoring substitutions, monitoring service order
and recording sanctions. The assistant scorer also keeps track of Libero
rotations.

VOLLEYBALL GLOSSARY

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.

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.
Hit/attack/spike Typically the third contact when a player uses one open hand
and swings at the ball to send it over the net is called a “hit/attack/spike”. The
player who hits the ball is called the “hitter/attacker/spiker”. These three terms
are used interchangeable. The whole hand is loosely cupped in the shape of the
ball and the entire hand (palm and fingers) should contact the ball. In some
situations a player may choose to attack on the second contact instead of the
third.

Serve The first contact that starts every rally is called a “serve”. The player who
serves is called the “server”. Usually a server uses one, open hand to swing
overhead and send the ball over the net from behind the end line. Less
experienced players may serve underhand with one closed fist. Sometimes
younger age groups are allowed to serve from within the court so be sure to check
local league rules. There are 3 main types of serves that are defined below.

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.

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”.

Stuff Block When a defensive team stops the ball from crossing the net as an
opposing player tries to send it over. The ball then falls back to the floor in side
the court on the side of the team that was attempting to hit it over.

Tool The ball is deflected by a blocker but falls to the floor either outside the court
on either side or onto the court on the same side as the blocker. This earns a
point for the attacker’s team.

Joust When players from opposing teams play the ball simultaneously, it is called
a “joust”.

Cover The attack is blocked back onto the attacker’s side but a member of the
same team digs the ball and the rally continues. A textbook rally would follow this
pattern of contacts: Serve, pass, set, hit, dig, set, hit, dig, etc. with the possibility
of having a stuff block, covered block or deflection as well.

Platform Refers to the forearms when they are put together by holding both hands
together to create one larger surface for the ball to bounce off of.

Sprawl/Dive When a player lands on the floor with their body in an attempt to
save the ball with their arm or arms before it hits the floor it is called a “sprawl”
or “dive”. This is considered an emergency move.

Pancake When a player lands on the floor with their body in an attempt to save
the ball with one open hand on the floor to allow the ball to bounce off of it is
called a “pancake”. This is considered an emergency move.

Free Ball When a team sends the ball over the net to their opponents with their
forearms they are said to be giving a “free ball”. Considered an easier play for the
defensive team.

Down Ball When a player who is standing on the floor and swinging with an open
hand to hit the ball over the net, it is usually called a “down ball”. Traditionally a
“down ball” means the blockers at the net should not jump and instead stay down
on the floor when an opposing player is sending the ball over the net.

Roll Shot When a player slows down the speed of their arm swing while attacking
to send the ball shorter in the court and in front of the defenders, it is called a
“roll shot”. The arm still makes the same motion as a full speed attack and the
whole hand makes contact with the ball.

Dump When a setter sends the ball over the net on their team’s second contact
instead of setting a player on their own team to hit it over the net it is called a
“dump” or “setter attack”. A setter can do so tipping or hitting the ball over with
one open hand or setting it over with two open hands. They may do so while
standing on the floor or jumping in the air.

Tip When a player uses one open hand to send the ball over the net it is called a
“tip”. The player uses the pads of their fingers to contact the ball and control the
direction it is sent. Tips are usually sent short in the court but can also be sent
deep. A tip is in contrast to swinging the arm to hit the ball over the net.

Float Serve A serve in which the ball does not spin is considered a “float serve”.
This serve often changes direction and floats in unexpected trajectories.

Jump Serve A serve in which the server approaches and jumps to hit the ball
while in the air to send the ball over the net with spin with the top of the ball
rotating down towards the floor from the passers perspective. This serve is also
referred to as a “Spike serve”.

Float Serve A serve in which the server approaches and jumps to hit the ball
while in the air to send the ball over the net with no spin is called a “jump float
serve”.

Ace A serve that is un-returnable in which it either hits the floor or a controlled
second contact cannot be made off of the pass. This type of pass is often called a
“shank”. An ace results in a point for the serving team.

Under-Hand Serve A serve that is sent over by keeping the serving arm down and
hitting the stationary ball in the opposite hand with a fist. This serve is often
taught to beginner players.

Over Pass The pass by the team receiving the serve that is sent immediately back
over the net to the serving team on accident is called an “overpass”.

Rally While the ball is in play it is said to be a “rally”.

Side-out When a team is on serve receive and wins the rally, it is called a “side-
out”.

Approach The footwork an attacker uses to time the set, gain momentum and
jump before contacting the ball to hit it over the net is called an “approach”.

Arm Swing The movement a hitter or server’s arm makes to generate force before
contacting the ball.

Hitting Error When a player hits the ball either into the net or the antenna, or
outside of the court or antenna it is called an “attack/hitting error”.

Kill An attack that is un-returnable in which it either hits the floor or a controlled
second contact cannot be made off of the dig. This type of dig is often called a
“shank”. A kill results in a point for the attacking team.

Sideline The two lines that run the length of the court are called “sidelines”. They
are a total of 60 feet long and line up with the antennas that designate the side
boundaries of the court. A server must serve from between these lines.

End Line The two lines that run the width of the court are called “end lines”. They
are each 30 ft long and designate the end boundary of the court. At most levels,
a server must contact the ball without stepping on this line to serve.
Center Line The line that runs the width of the court under the net is called the
“center line”. This line is also 30 ft long and designates the floor boundary between
the two teams. Be sure to inquire locally regarding this line as rules regarding
crossing or stepping on this line can vary.

10 ft (3m) line The line that runs the width of the court 10 ft from the net is
called the “10 ft line”. This line designates the boundary for jumping to attack for
back-row players as well as the boundary for Liberos setting overhead to an
attacker.

Antenna/pin the thin, red and white striped poles that is attached to both sides
of the net at the sidelines are called the “antennas”. These designate a vertical
boundary of play that extends up to the ceiling of the gym. The ball is considered
out if it touches the antenna or the net between the antenna and the pole as well
as if the ball travels across the net over or outside of the antenna.

Poles The metal structures used to hold and tighten the net are called “poles”.
There are many different companies that manufacture net systems and different
types of poles. There should always be a pad around the poles for players’ safety.
In most leagues, it is legal for players to run past a pole to play a ball but the ball
must travel back to their side outside of the antenna and then sub sequentially
played to the opposing team between the antennas.

Tight When the ball is sent close to the net (approximately 0-2 feet) it is said to
be “tight”.

Off When the ball is sent away from the net (more than 5 feet or so), it is said to
be “off”.

Inside When the ball is sent more than 5 feet inside of the sidelines, it is said to
be “inside”.

Outside When the ball is sent outside of the sidelines, it is said to be “outside”.

Short When the ball is sent over the net in front of a player, it is said to be “short”.

Deep When the ball is sent over the net behind a player, it is said to be “deep”.

Line When the ball travels down the same sideline from one team to the other it
is said to be hit down the “line”. This term can also be used to designate the
defender that is near the same line the attacker is closest to. They are said to be
the “line defender”.
Crosscourt/Angle When the ball travels from one sideline to the other from one
team to the opposing team it is said to be hit “crosscourt/angle”. This term can
also be used to designate the defender that is near the opposite line the attacker
is closest to. They are said to be the “crosscourt/angle defender”.

Let Serve When the serve hits the net and continues over to the receiving team,
it is a live ball and called a “let serve”.

Press/Penetrate The movement a blocker should make with their hands so that
they are over on the opponents side of the net. This creates an angle that the
attack will reflect off of and land back on the attacker’s side of the court.

Call the Ball Communication is key in this team sport. Players should make an
early call to indicate they will play it. Common phrases used are “I go” or “mine”.
Players should also call names of players and sets during play as well as other
useful information like “short”, “deep”, “inside”, etc.

Substitution When one player is replaced by another during a game, this is called
a “substitution”. Depending on the league, the number of substitutions is limited
per game. Once a player on the bench crosses in front of the 10 ft line, they have
entered the substitution zone and must be subbed in. Players are to wait, one
inside the court and one outside the court, in front of the 10 ft line until signaled
by the bookkeeper to switch.

Rotation Home As a team rotates so that each player serves once in the same
order as the original line-up, the player’s “rotation home” changes. Each player
will sequentially play in all 6 “rotational home” positions. If a player begins the
game as right back, there rotational home will be “right-back” until they rotate
and then their “rotational home” will then be “middle-back”, then “left-back”, then
“left-front”, then “middle-front”, then “right-front”, then “right-back” again and so
on and so forth.

Base Defense The defensive spot on the floor that a player stands at and then
possibly moves from depending on who is set on the opposing team is called “base
defense”. Coaches determine the “base defense” they want their players to use
based on the defensive strategy they want to use. This decision should be based
on the opponent’s tendencies and the abilities of the defensive team.

Serve Receive When a team is being served at, they are said to be on “serve
receive”. Players are required to remain in their rotation home before the serve
until the server contacts the ball. This requires teams to create serve receive
formations to account for this rule and still put players in the best possible place
 to play the serve and run an offense. Specific details for serve receive formations
are described in a subsequent section.

Game/Set Depending on the league or tournament, a “game” or “set” is to a

predetermined amount of points. Games must be won by two points unless a
predetermined point cap is in place. Typically games are to 25 points unless teams
are tied in number of games won and are breaking the tie in the final game. That
tie-breaker game is typically to 15 points.

Match A match is a predetermined number of games, often best or 3 or 5 games.

Time-Out A coach, player or referee can call a stoppage in play for a variety of
reasons. The stoppage is referred to as a “time-out”. They are often 60 seconds in
length unless it is an injury timeout.G

Libero Entry A libero does not enter as a sub does. Instead, the player may enter
for any back-row player at any time by crossing into the court through the sideline
behind the 10 ft line while the other player exits the court the same way but not
necessarily at the exact same time.

Line-up Sheet the official sheet used by a coach to enter their line-up for each
game. Usually there will be a rectangle with 6 boxes to enter the 6 starting players
and an additional, detached one for the libero’s number. The roman numerals in
each box designate the position in which each player will begin and the order in
which they will serve. (https://www.goldmedalsquared.com/coaching-
