 Nature of 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. [1] It has

been a part of the official program of the Summer Olympic Games since Tokyo 1964. Beach

volleyball was introduced to the programme at the Atlanta 1996. The adapted version of

volleyball at the Summer Paralympic Games is sitting volleyball.

The complete set of rules is extensive,[2] but play essentially proceeds as follows: a player on one

of the teams begins a 'rally' by serving the ball (tossing or releasing it and then hitting it with a

hand or arm), from behind the back boundary line of the court, over the net, and into the

receiving team's court.[3] The receiving team must not let the ball be grounded within their court.

The team may touch the ball up to three times to return the ball to the other side of the court, but

individual players may not touch the ball twice consecutively.[3] Typically, the first two touches

are used to set up for an attack. An attack is an attempt to direct the ball back over the net in such

a way that the team receiving the ball is unable to pass the ball and continue the rally, thus,

losing the point. The team that wins the rally is awarded a point and serves the ball to start the

next rally. A few of the most common faults include:

 causing the ball to touch the ground or floor outside the opponents' court or without first

passing over the net;

 catching and throwing the ball;

 double hit: two consecutive contacts with the ball made by the same player;

 four consecutive contacts with the ball made by the same team;

 net foul: touching the net during play;

 foot fault: the foot crosses over the boundary line when serving.

The ball is usually played with the hands or arms, but players can legally strike or push (short

contact) the ball with any part of the body.

A number of consistent techniques have evolved in volleyball,

including spiking and blocking (because these plays are made above the top of the net,

the vertical jump is an athletic skill emphasized in the sport) as well as passing, setting, and

specialized player positions and offensive and defensive structures.

A volleyball court is 9 m × 18 m (29.5 ft × 59.1 ft), divided into equal square halves by a net

with a width of one meter (39.4 in).[18] The top of the net is 2.43 m (7 ft 11+11⁄16 in) above the

center of the court for men's competition, and 2.24 m (7 ft 4+3⁄16 in) for women's competition,

varied for veterans and junior competitions.[3]

The minimum height clearance for indoor volleyball courts is 7 m (23.0 ft), although a clearance

of 8 m (26.2 ft) is recommended.[18]

A line 3 m (9.8 ft) from and parallel to the net is considered the "attack line". This "3 meter" (or

"10-foot") line divides the court into "back row" and "front row" areas (also back court and front

court).[18] These are in turn divided into 3 areas each: these are numbered as follows, starting

from area "1", which is the position of the serving

player:
After a team gains the serve (also known as siding out), its members must rotate in a clockwise

direction, with the player previously in area "2" moving to area "1" and so on, with the player

from area "1" moving to area "6". Each player rotates only one time after the team gains

possession of the service; the next time each player rotates will be after the other team wins

possession of the ball and loses the point.

The team courts are surrounded by an area called the free zone which is a minimum of 3 meters

wide and which the players may enter and play within after the service of the ball. All lines

denoting the boundaries of the team court and the attack zone are drawn or painted within the

dimensions of the area and are therefore a part of the court or zone. If a ball comes in contact

with the line, the ball is considered to be "in". An antenna is placed on each side of the net

perpendicular to the sideline and is a vertical extension of the side boundary of the court. A ball

passing over the net must pass completely between the antennae (or their theoretical extensions

to the ceiling) without contacting them.

FIVB regulations state that the ball must be spherical, made of leather or synthetic leather, have a

circumference of 65–67 cm (26–26 in), a weight of 260–280 g (9.2–9.9 oz) and an interior air

pressure of 0.30–0.325 kg/cm2 0.30–0.325 kg/cm2 (4.27–4.62 psi). Other governing bodies have

similar regulations.

Each team consists of six players. To get play started, a team is chosen to serve by coin toss. A

player from the serving team throws the ball into the air and attempts to hit the ball so it passes

over the net on a course such that it will land in the opposing team's court (the serve). The

opposing team must use a combination of no more than three contacts with the volleyball to

return the ball to the opponent's side of the net. These contacts usually consist first of

the bump or pass so that the ball's trajectory is aimed towards the player designated as the setter;

second of the set (usually an over-hand pass using wrists to push finger-tips at the ball) by the

setter so that the ball's trajectory is aimed towards a spot where one of the players designated as

an attacker can hit it, and third by the attacker who spikes (jumping, raising one arm above the

head and hitting the ball so it will move quickly down to the ground on the opponent's court) to

return the ball over the net. The team with possession of the ball that is trying to attack the ball as

described is said to be on offence.

The team on defense attempts to prevent the attacker from directing the ball into their court:

players at the net jump and reach above the top (and if possible, across the plane) of the net

to block the attacked ball. If the ball is hit around, above, or through the block, the defensive

players arranged in the rest of the court attempt to control the ball with a dig (usually a fore-arm

pass of a hard-driven ball). After a successful dig, the team transitions to offence.

The game continues in this manner, rallying back and forth until the ball touches the court within

the boundaries or until an error is made. The most frequent errors that are made are either to fail

to return the ball over the net within the allowed three touches, or to cause the ball to land
outside the court. A ball is "in" if any part of it touches the inside of a team's court or a sideline

or end-line, and a strong spike may compress the ball enough when it lands that a ball which at

first appears to be going out may actually be in. Players may travel well outside the court to play

a ball that has gone over a sideline or end-line in the air.

Other common errors include a player touching the ball twice in succession, a player "catching"

the ball, a player touching the net while attempting to play the ball, or a player penetrating under

the net into the opponent's court. There are a large number of other errors specified in the rules,

although most of them are infrequent occurrences. These errors include back-row or libero

players spiking the ball or blocking (back-row players may spike the ball if they jump from

behind the attack line), players not being in the correct position when the ball is served, attacking

the serve in the frontcourt and above the height of the net, using another player as a source of

support to reach the ball, stepping over the back boundary line when serving, taking more than 8

seconds to serve, or playing the ball when it is above the opponent's court.

The Regional Governing body for Volleyball is NORCECA. The acronym NORCECA stands

for The North, Central America and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation.

 History of Volleyball

Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan, physical director of the Young Men’s

Christian Association (YMCA) in Holyoke, Massachusetts. It was designed as an indoor sport

for businessmen who found the new game of basketball too vigorous. Morgan called the sport

“mintonette,” until a professor from Springfield College in Massachusetts noted the volleying

nature of play and proposed the name of “volleyball.” The original rules were written by Morgan

and printed in the first edition of the Official Handbook of the Athletic League of the Young

Men’s Christian Associations of North America (1897). The game soon proved to have wide

appeal for both sexes in schools, playgrounds, the armed forces, and other organizations in

the United States, and it was subsequently introduced to other countries. In 1916 rules were

issued jointly by the YMCA and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The first

nationwide tournament in the United States was conducted by the National YMCA Physical

Education Committee in New York City in 1922. The United States Volleyball Association

(USVBA) was formed in 1928 and recognized as the rules-making, governing body in the United

States. From 1928 the USVBA—now known as USA Volleyball (USAV)—has conducted

annual national men’s and senior men’s (age 35 and older) volleyball championships, except

during 1944 and 1945. Its women’s division was started in 1949, and a senior women’s division

(age 30 and older) was added in 1977. Other national events in the United States are conducted

by member groups of the USAV such as the YMCA and the NCAA. Volleyball was introduced
into Europe by American troops during World War I, when national organizations were formed.

The Fédération Internationale de Volley Ball (FIVB) was organized in Paris in 1947 and moved

to Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1984. The USVBA was one of the 13 charter members of the FIVB,

whose membership grew to more than 210 member countries by the late 20th century.

International volleyball competition began in 1913 with the first Far East Games, in Manila.

During the early 1900s and continuing until after World War II, volleyball in Asia was played on

a larger court, with a lower net, and nine players on a team.

The FIVB-sponsored world volleyball championships (for men only in 1949; for both men and

women in 1952 and succeeding years) led to acceptance of standardized playing rules and

officiating. Volleyball became an Olympic sport for both men and women at the 1964 Olympic

Games in Tokyo.

Description of the Tournament

The Form Five Physical education class hosted a tournament named the CICSS Volleyball

Smash Tournament on the date Thursday the 2nd of December 2022. The tournament was held at

the Ciceron Secondary School’s court. The tournament lasted approximately 4hrs n 40minutes.

There were four teams and every single team had four players. The tournament took the format

of round robin. A round-robin tournament (or all-play-all tournament) is a competition in which

each contestant meets every other participant, usually in turn. A round-robin contrasts with

an elimination tournament, in which participants are eliminated after a certain number of losses.

In a single round-robin schedule, each participant plays every other participant once. A round-

robin tournament with four players is sometimes called "quad" or "foursome".

Promotion of the Tournament

The importance of promoting this tournament is because it’s the most relevant part in the SBA.

We promoted the event or the tournament because it was the practical part of the physical

education school based assessment. The methods of promotions we used were flyers and a video

of an artiste endorsing the tournament. The social media platforms that I used to promote the

tournament were whatsapp and Facebook. The electronic devise that I used to promote the

tournament were my laptop and my mobile phone. We used a flyer to promote the event. The

type of audio we used was an audio we extracted from a video of guy who was promoting the

event. We used a promo video which was about an artist endorsing the tournament or the event. I

promoted the tournament until December the 2nd. My promotions were successful because

everyone knew about it and the tournament was successful.

 My Role as a Sports Journalist

Sports journalists write about and report on amateur and professional sports. As a sports

journalist, you can expect a variety of job duties such as reporting game statistics, interviewing

coaches and players and offering game commentary. You can work in a variety of media,

including radio, television and print. Sports journalism is a form of writing that reports on

matters pertaining to sporting topics and competitions. The main role of a Sports Journalist is to

design promotional and information material for display and take photos of what's happening.

My role is very important because without the sports journalist there won't be any pictures or

promotional material for display. As the sports journalist before the tournament I took out photos

of the P.E committee ready for the tournament. During the tournament I had to be up and about,

on the court and around the school snapping photos of the coaches and their teams and the P.E

committee members doing their job and other tasks as well. After the tournament I had to put all

the photos in an album and send it to all the physical education students for their SBA.

 Day of Tournament

On the arrival of the teams and the P.E committee at the Ciceron Secondary School the weather

was dark and gloomy in the morning. Before the beginning of the opening of the ceremony there

was a brief meeting for all the committee members, the coaches were getting their teams ready,

the sports journalist was taking out photos of everything that’s happening around, etc.

During the opening ceremony the team members and the committee members had to do a thing

call a match pass or a parade. The teams were all in their specific color or they were all in

uniform and they looked organized. The atmosphere was dark and gloomy with chilled winds

during the parade also known as the match pass. The opening ceremony didn’t meet its

commencing time because the guest speaker and some committee members were not punctual.

The weather on the day of the tournament was very inclement. There were no spectators at the

event due to the covid-19 protocols. The people who gave speeches were the Vice Principal Mrs.

Charles and the guest speaker Mr. Charlery. The speeches were mainly about this being the form

fives last year and that we need to take it serious etc. A special event that occurred during the

opening ceremony was when the competition director Choral Herman gave the guest speaker Mr.

Charlery a fruit basket as a gift. The person who declared the games open was the Vice Principal

Mrs. Charles. When the games were finally opened the feeling was unsure at the moment no one

seemed fazed or anything that’s how it felt for me. There was no singing of the national anthem

it was just an audio playing and we all had to stand at attention until the audio was done. The

player’s oath was read by the athlete Tamika St. Pierre and it was read really great. The referee’s
oath was read by Diajur Gerald and it was read really well. The teams left in an orderly manner

after the opening ceremony was done.

In the first set game one the teams that went against each other were fire strikers and Ball

Busters. The players of each team were really active during the game and they play to win. In the

second set Ball Busters were the ones serving. In this set there was a tie between fire strikers and

ball Busters. In the third set the team serving was Fire Strikers. The team who won that game

was Fire Strikers.

In the second game set one (1) the teams that played against each other were Tigers and hard

Hitters. In the first match the team Hard Hitters was the first ones to serve the ball in order to

start the game. In the second match the scores were 25 and 22. The team who won that game was

Tigers. The last game was an accident whiles playing the games one on the players was injured.

The winner of the third game was Hard Hitters.

The game ended abruptly because of the weather and the condition of the school’s court. There

were no spectators so therefore there were reactions. The feeling after the tournament was not

that good. The atmosphere at the end was not that good.
Results of Tournament
 My Experience as a Sports Journalist

My Experience as a Sports Journalist was fun and tiring at the same time. Before the event or

the tournament I the sports journalist had to create a flyer and find an artiste to help by

promotional video to aid in promoting the tournament and I achieved all my tasks by receiving

the video and creating the flyer before the date of the tournament. My emotions were mixed I

honestly didn’t know how to feel one minute I’m nervous the next I’m excited. My experience

on the day of the tournament was very exhausting, I had to be running up and down on the court

taking out photos of the teams playing against each other and I had to take out photos of each of

the committee members doing their jobs. I also had to take out pictures of the coaches and their

teams it very tiring. My main role on the day of the tournament was to take out photos of what’s

happening before the tournament started, during the tournament and the after the tournament. I

really liked doing what I was responsible for on the day of the event because I was very much

occupied and I had no time to waste. I found overall performance as a sports journalist was not a

hundred percent I still did my job. There were a few mistakes but I fixed them so I would say I

did a good job as a sports journalist. I was really satisfied with my performance as the sports

journalist. My contribution as the sports journalist was not that important because the game

would have when on with no trouble and anyone could have been taking photos.
 Challenges

1. It started raining and the court got wet so we had to wait until it was dried to

continue the game

2. The sports journalists phone died

 recommendations

1. Start raising funds from now

2. Start planning on what role you would want to be

 Reflection

The day I was introduced to the SBA I was excited and nervous at the same time. When I heard

I was the sports journalist I was happy because I thought it would the job was easier than the rest.

In doing my role I encountered some difficulties my device went out of power and there ones

only one of me so I couldn’t get most of the pictures. I dealt with those issues by borrowing one

of the committee member’s phones to continue taking out the photos and getting assistance with

the picture taking. One sacrifice that I did was put all the other classes aside to do my physical

education SBA. I learnt that no matter what happens we mustn’t give up and that we should work

as a team. I feel relieved that the execution of tournament is over. After performing my entire

task I developed my editing skills. I don’t think that the skills I learnt could be used in my

everyday life. I was comfortable in working with the group.
