INTRODUCTION
FITNESS EXERCISES
FITNESS EXERCISE FITNESS EXERCIS
Volleyball is a team sport which is played in a court with a high net by two (2) teams with six (6)
persons on each team court. It may be played by all male, all female, or mixed teams with net
height adjustments for boys, girls or age-group differences; and using a variety of playing
surfaces; wood, rubberized materials, and or grass. The basic objective of the game is to keep the
ball which is served over the net, from contacting the floor on your side and to return it so that it
contacts the floor on the opponents’ side before they can return it.

The team that fails to return the ball within the specific limits, loses the chance to serve and gives
a point to the team’s opponent.

In the game volleyball, the cooperation of the members of the team is important.

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
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |PHYSICAL EDUCATION 2 6

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.

European championships were long dominated by Czechoslovakian, Hungarian, Polish,

Bulgarian, Romanian, and Soviet (later, Russian) teams. At the world and Olympic level, Soviet
teams have won more titles, both men’s and women’s, than those of any other nation. Their
success was attributed to widespread grassroots interest and well-organized play and instruction
at all levels of skill. A highly publicized Japanese women’s team, Olympic champions in 1964,
reflected the interest of private industry in sport. Young women working for the sponsoring
company devoted their free time to conditioning, team practice, and competition under expert
and demanding coaching. Encouraged by the Japanese Volleyball Association, this women’s
team made its mark in international competition, winning the World Championship in 1962,
1966, and 1967, in addition to the 1964 Olympics. At the end of the 20th century, however, the
Cuban women’s team dominated both the World Championships and the Olympics.

The Pan American Games (involving South, Central, and North America) added volleyball in
1955, and Brazil, Mexico, Canada, Cuba, and the United States are frequent contenders for top
honors. In Asia, China, Japan, and Korea dominate competition. Volleyball, especially beach
volleyball, is played in Australia, New Zealand, and throughout the South Pacific.
A four-year cycle of international volleyball events, recommended by the FIVB, began in 1969
with World Cup championships, to be held in the year following the Olympic Games; the second
year is the World Championships; in the third the regional events are held (e.g., European
championships, Asian Games, African Games, Pan American Games); and in the fourth year the
Olympic Games.

FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT

VOLLEYBALL COURT

Volleyball Court Dimensions

The Volleyball court is 60 feet by 30 feet in total. The net in placed in the center of the court,
making each side of the net 30 feet by 30 feet.

Center Line
A center line is marked at the center of the court dividing it equally into 30 feet squares, above
which the net is placed.

Attack Line
An attack line is marked 10 feet of each side of the center line.

Service Line
A service line, the area from which the server may serve the volleyball, is marked 10 feet inside
the right sideline on each back line.
 PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |PHYSICAL EDUCATION 2 9

The Net
The net is placed directly above the center line, 7 feet 4 inches above the ground for women and
8 feet above the ground for men.

Poles
Volleyball poles should be set at 36 feet apart, 3 feet further out from the sidelines.

Ceiling Height
The minimum ceiling height should be 23 feet, though they should preferably be higher.

SAFETY PRINCIPLES AND ETIQUETTE

1. Players must be aware of hazards in the playing area. Volleyball standards/poles, teammates,
walls, and balls all pose the possibility of serious injury.
2. Players should roll the ball under the net, rather than throw it over the net to the other team.
3. Players should attempt to alert other players when a ball has rolled onto another court so that a
player does not accidentally land or step on the ball.
4. Players should avoid net violations or crossing the centerline as this can cause injury.
5. Players should announce his/her team’s score and then the opponent’s score clearly and loudly
before each serve. In the absence of an official, players should call the ball “in” or “out,” and call
net violations in the interest of fair play.
6. Place volleyballs back in the bin/holder at the end of the game.

Care of Equipment
1. Players should never kick or sit on the volleyballs.
2. The volleyball nets should not be pulled on and players should not stand on the supporting
poles.

RULES OF THE GAME

Volleyball requires a minimum of equipment and space and can be played indoors or outdoors.
The game is played on a smooth-surfaced court 9 meters (30 feet) wide by 18 meters (60 feet)
long, divided by a center line into two equal areas, one of which is selected by or assigned to
each of the two competing teams. Players may not step completely beyond the center line while
the ball is in play. A line 3 meters (10 feet) from and parallel to the center line of each half of the
court indicates the point in front of which a back court player may not drive the ball over the net
from a position above the top of the net. (This offensive action, called a spike, or kill, is usually
performed most effectively and with greatest power near the net by the forward line of players.)
A tightly stretched net is placed across the court exactly above the middle of the center line;
official net heights (measured from the top edge of the net to the playing surface—in the middle
of the court) are 2.4 meters (8 feet) for men and 2.2 meters (7.4 feet) for women. Further
adjustments in net height can be made for young people and others who need a lower net. A
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |PHYSICAL EDUCATION 2 10

vertical tape marker is attached to the net directly above each side boundary line of the court,
and, to help game officials judge whether served or volleyed balls are in or out of bounds, a
flexible antenna extends 1 meter (3 feet) above the net along the outer edge of each vertical tape
marker. The ball used is around 260 to 280 grams (9 to 10 ounces) and is inflated to about 65 cm
(25.6 inches) in circumference. A ball must pass over the net entirely between the antennae. A
service area, traditionally 3 meters (10 feet) long, is marked outside and behind the right one-
third of each court end line. At the 1996 Olympic Games the service area was extended to 9
meters (30 feet). The service must be made from within or behind this area. A space at least 2
meters (6 feet) wide around the entire court is needed to permit freedom of action,
eliminate hazards from obstructions, and allow space for net support posts and the officials’
stands. A clear area above the court at least 8 meters (26 feet) high is required to permit the ball
to be served or received and played without interference.

Informally, any number can play volleyball. In competition each team consists of six players,
three of whom take the forward positions in a row close to and facing the net, the other three
playing the back court. (An exception to this rotation is the libero, a position introduced at
the 2000 Olympics; see below.) Play is started when the right back (the person on the right of the
second row) of the serving team steps outside his end line into the serving area and bats the ball
with a hand, fist, or arm over the net into the opponents’ half of the court. The opponents receive
the ball and return it across the net in a series of not more than three contacts with the ball. This
must be done without any player catching or holding the ball while it is in play and without any
player touching the net or entering the opponents’ court area. The ball must not touch the floor,
and a player may not touch the ball twice in succession. A player continues to serve until his
team makes an error, commits a foul, or completes the game. When the service changes, the
receiving team becomes the serving team and its players rotate clockwise one position, the right
forward shifting to the right back position and then serving from the service area. Either team
can score, with points being awarded for successfully hitting the ball onto the opposing side’s
half of the court, as well as when the opposing side commits errors or fouls, such as hitting the
ball out of bounds, failing to return the ball, contacting the ball more than three times before
returning it, etc. Only one point at a time is scored for a successful play. A game is won by the
team that first scores 25 points, provided the winning team is ahead by 2 or more points, except
in the fifth set, when a team needs to score only 15 points and win by 2 points.

The 2000 Olympics introduced significant rule changes to international competition. One change
created the libero, a player on each team who serves as a defensive specialist. The libero wears a
different color from the rest of the team and is not allowed to serve or rotate to the front line.
Another important rule change allowed the defensive side to score, whereas formerly only the
serving team was awarded points.
