Introduction: Physical Education is based on the premise that the quality and productivity of each individual’s life can be enhanced
through participation of the students.
It promotes physical, mental, emotional and social well-being. Physical education came from the Latin words “physical”,
meaning physics and “education” meaning training.
Almost all athletes and fitness enthusiasts want to improve on their health, strength, flexibility, agility, and physique. They strive
to have better balance, better hand and eye coordination, and become more explosive. These are just some of the basic skills a person
needs to maintain physical fitness and live happily.
Team Sports is based on the quality productivity of each individual. Each person’s skills can be enhanced through a
comprehensive, sequential physical education system that develop physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual well-being. A
physically fit person is one who has mastered the necessary movement skills to participate confidently in various physical activities, and
understands what a healthy life style entail.
Sports education is fundamental to remain healthy and it promotes in many ways, the attitudes and behaviors that reduce
health risks, including appropriate nutrition and exercise.
A well-planned physical education programmed guides students into becoming motivated to attain optimum health through
regular use of new skills and knowledge.
Goals of Games and Sports
Teams Sports are physical activities in which a group of individuals, on the same team, work together to accomplish an
ultimate goal.
Games and Sports have been studied and analyzed by scholars in many disciplines since the 1950s and increasingly since
mid-1970s, when a national and world sports culture developed beyond what anybody could have imagined 100 years ago.
Sports derives from the play impulse in human behavior as do art; by any measure, sports are very much important.
Sports as a form of Play. Most scholars agree that sports are a manifestation of play and comes in institutionalized forms like Volleyball,
Basketball and other related sports.
Moreover, to develop skills in these various areas, students should be encouraged to acquire understanding and knowledge
about the learning outcomes that they develop in accessing, synthesizing and evaluating information, making informed decisions,
enhancing and advocating their own and other’s fitness through health and sports.
A well-planned education program is comprised of an organized set policies, procedures, and activities designed to protect and
promote the health and well-being of students and staff, and the following components:
1. Sports education
2. Physical Fitness
3. Health Services
4. Nutrition Services
5. Safe and Healthy School Environment
6. Parent and Community Involvement
Chapter 1: Volleyball
Brief History of Volleyball:
As a sport, volleyball was initiated I Holyoke Massachusetts, USA in 1895 by Mr. William G. Morgan, YMCA physical education
director from Massachusetts. He is credited for having created the game way back in 1895. The game has undergone numerous
refinement and changes since, and it was not until 1964 when it became part of the regular program of the Olympic Games. In the
beginning it is called “Mintonette” and eventually changed to “Volleyball” by Dr. Halstead of Springfield, USA because the basic idea of
the game was to volley the ball back and forth over the net.
Volleyball 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.
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 of “volleyball”
was played.
In the Philippines, volleyball became popular mainly due to the collegiate leagues. The sport is played by two teams of six
players each in rectangular court divided by net. Each team tries to score by grounding the ball at the team’s side of the court. Today
there are more than 46 million Americans who play volleyball. There are 800 million players worldwide who play volleyball at least once
a week.
GAME CHARACTERISTICS:
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.
Basic Movements and Postures in Volleyball
• It is important that both the player and the coach understand the related movement principles.
• Footwork is an integral part of each skill and is paramount to successful execution. Floor defense, attack, and occasionally
blocking require dramatic and specific footwork patterns.
• Serving, forearm passing, and overhead passing require less active movement but still demand precise execution. • Basic
Footwork patterns specific to each skill are described as part of the individual skill. Furthermore, the subtleties of balance and the
related body movement are detailed relative to each skill. In general principles of movement and posture are considered. • It is
important for the players to understand that volleyball differs from other team-ball sports. To control the rebound angle effectively,
the player must arrive at the of contact posture before the ball arrives. In other team-ball sports, the player and the ball can arrive
simultaneously; the player can gain control of the by catching or dribbling it before sending the ball to its next destination. In
volleyball, only striking provides the luxury of simultaneously arrival of the ball.
• Volleyball is played in three different postures in the low range. The player must dive, collapse, or roll on the floor to retrieve an
opponent’s attack.
• Middle range postures must be assumed to serve, forearm pass, and overhead pass effectively.
• High range posture is used when jumping to attack, block, and jump set.
Officiating and Coaching the Game
• Understanding the learning process – before you can teach effectively, you must understand how people learn. Both coach and
players, must have an understanding in why they are involved in the activity or game.
• Mental or Beginning Stage – develop an understanding of the concepts, principles, and mechanics involved in the skill. •
Practice or Intermediate Stage – the focus in this stage is on learning to perform the skills.
• Developing a Teaching Plan – to meet the needs of the players in each of the phases of learning.
• Assessing Fitness and Skill Level of Players – ability to adapt your teaching methods and expectations to the appropriate level of
players.
• Planning Practices
- Warming up
- Reviewing previously taught skills
- Teaching and practicing new skills
- Practicing under new competitive conditions
- Cooling Down
• Selecting Drills – Selecting drills is also an important part of planning practices. Once you have decided your objective for a
practice, you must determine what you wish to accomplish in each drill.
Basic Rules in Playing Volleyball
A. Start of the Game
1. The game starts with six players for each team.
2. A toss coin determines the serving and receiving service the game in volleyball.

C. Time-out
1. Each Team gets two time-outs (30 seconds each) per set.
2. There is No time limit on the games due to rally system scoring.
3. In International competitions two 60 seconds technical time-out is used when the leading team reaches the 8 or 16 point-mark.

E. The Libero
1. The libero is a member of the team wearing a uniform different from the other team members.
2. He or she can replace the player on the back row when the ball is not in play.
Rules in Substitution
1. Substitutes can replace players of the starting line-up only once per set.
2. Substitution must be carried out within the substitution zone located at the extension of both attack lines up to the scorer’s table.
3. Players can re-join the game only in his/her original position.
4. A team player starting line-up may leave the game, but only once in a set, and re-enter also only once in a set., and only to his or her
previous position in line-up.
5. The substitution request must always ready to enter the court, near the substitution zone.
D. The Topspin
• The steps for an overhand serve with a high toss take place then the player should move under the toss and strike the ball from
below.
• The follow-through should be down with a good wrist snap and then toward the outside of the shoulder. • Topspin
serves get on defensive players quickly and can drop just over the net, putting serve receivers in a bind. • Adding
topspin can be a good way for players who are not as strong as others to put quality power behind the ball.
E. Jump Serves
• The ball is tossed with the non-dominant hand very high and several feet in front of the player.
• An approach is made and the player jumps to attack the ball.
• A firm wrist and abbreviated follow-through help keep control throughout the serve.
• You can implement both topspin and float techniques during a jump serve.
• The jump serve is difficult to execute and comes with lower accuracy.
• However, when done well, it is devastating to try and return.
• The amount of power and spin generated by a good jump serve is difficult for even great serve receivers to handle. 2.
It is crucial that the volleyball pass is learned, not only because you need to be able to pass in order to set and then attack, but also
because it is a very common skill players use during the game.
• The Forearm Pass - Forearm volleyball pass involves hitting the ball in a controlled manner to your teammate. The forearms are
made into a flat platform, positioned ready for the ball to come into contact. The arms aren't necessarily swung when passing.
Swinging the arms will result in a less controlled pass. The technique for forearm passing is more of a total body movement,
not an arm swing. When passing, the entire body should be moving forward with a shrug of the shoulders. You may have
noticed great players moving backwards away from the ball as they pass. This is ok to do! The best passers seem to move
backwards, absorbing the ball on their arms allowing for more control passing.
• Overhead Passing - The overhead pass involves hitting the ball using an overhead playing motion to direct the ball to your
teammate. The ball is played with the fingers using an overhead setting action.
4. Attacking/Hitting
• Standing Attack - Oftentimes, volleyball players need to carry out an attack hit from a standing position. That means that an
attacker doesn't have to jump to carry out an attack hit. For this reason, such an attack hit is called as the “standing” spike. The
“standing” spike is also known as the “down ball”
• Jumping Attack - Sending the ball over the net with intention to score a point. This is normally done by an attacker jumping up
into the air and then hitting the ball in a downward direction towards the opponent's floor.
5. Blocking - Blocking is a skill wherein the player deflects the ball from the opponent. The goal is to prevent a successful attack and
the other team from scoring a point. The blocker's job is to block the spiked ball so that it goes back to the opposing team's side of the
court. Blocking is a defensive play.
6. Digging/Diving
• Overhand Dig - If the ball comes off the block hard and high, you may need to reach up over your head to get it. You can strike
the ball with the heel of your palm, making sure it goes up and toward the net, remaining on your side. The overhand dig is not
as easy to control as a standard dig, but it can be used as a last resort.
• Diving - If the ball at a distance from you and you do not have enough time to get there by moving your feet, you may want to
dive for it. Take a step toward the ball, reach out with your body and sprawl, playing through the ball and angling it back toward
the setter at the net. Practice diving without the ball so you can learn how to avoid landing hard on your hip, knees or elbows.
Always dive out, not down so you can slide, not thump when you hit the floor. If done right, diving should not hurt.
❖ POST - The posts supporting the net are placed at a distance of 0.50-1.00 m outside the side lines. They are 2.55 m high and
preferably adjustable. For all FIVB, World and Official Competitions, the posts supporting the net are placed at a distance of 1 m
outside the side lines and must be padded. The posts are rounded and smooth, fixed to the ground without wires. There shall be no
dangerous or obstructing devices.
❖ VOLLEYBALL BALL - The ball shall be spherical, made of a flexible leather or synthetic leather case with a bladder inside, made of

❖ THE PLAYERS
a. Front row players (attack/blocker) – the front row players’ responsibility is attacking the ball when the setter sets them. Also,
front row players try to block the ball coming from the opponent.
