It is a team sports played by two teams with 6 players each team.

The object of the game is to volley the ball back and forth over the
net which is higher than their heads, with certain limitations,
before it touches the ground in such a way that the opponent
cannot return it
Volleyball started in 1895 at YMCA, Holyoke,
Massachusetts, USA by William J. Morgan.
He began experimenting the game with an
interior of a basketball, a playing court and a
net that divides the court into two.
The game was inspired by the game tennis, the
idea is similar but not with the use of a racket
but instead, hitting the balls by using the arms
and hand.
This was not intended to be popular as
he named the game, “Mintonette”
because the net divides the court
into two.
It was in 1932 when the game became one of
the favorite recreational activities of the
Americans when Dr. Alfred S. Halsted, a
YMCA professor suggested the change of
mintonette to volleyball since the nature of
the game is volleying the ball or hitting the
ball before it touches the ground.

In the Philippines, the game was introduced

to the school curriculum as part of their
physical education program n 1910,
with the influence of the Americans
and spearheaded by the YMCA
Philippine director Elwood Brown.

 Underhand Serve – the easiest and simplest form
of service.
Overhand Serve – This is the most common style
and this style is very effective.
There are two types of overhand serves:
the floater and the topspin.
This service is executed by tossing the ball 2 to 3
feet in the air above in front of the right shoulder.
Floater – is done by contacting the ball at its
midpoint and with a little follow through
Topspin – is done by contacting the ball on its
lower midsection and snapping the wrist and
rolling the hand over the top of the ball.
A defensive stoppage done by the defensive players
when a spike or a hit is executed by the offensive
players. It is used to counter a forceful attack
defensively.
This is accomplished by jumping and positioning the
hands above and over the net, decreasing the area
available for the attacker to drive the ball downward
forcefully into the blocker’s court.
The objective of the block is to render the ball
unreturnable while it is in the opponent’s
court.
This refers to ball handling skills.
This is an act of hitting the ball or controlling
the ball by hitting it preferably with the arms
or different parts of the body intentionally or
unintentionally.
An offensive attack with tremendous force over the net
towards the opponent’s court to gain points.
It is used in aggressive play against the opponents to
keep them from the ball or making a transition to return
it aggressively. Spiking is an attack skill.
The ball is driven hard to kill it to the opponent’s court.
The ball should be set and the spiker fakes one or two
steps, jump and spike hard near the net.
❖ The system of scoring is rally point.
Every violation of a team, the opponent scores a
point.
❖ The first team to make 25 points wins a set.
In case of deuce (24-24 points) a 2-point
advantage will be set.
❖ The first team to score 2 points wins the
game. If the game ends in another deuce,
another advantage point will be decided and
after the 2nd deuce, the first team to score
wins.
