  What are we going to learn?
At the end of the semester, you are expected to:
1. Identify the penalties and consequences of playing faults committed.
2. Differentiate winning a set from winning a match.
3. State what rally point scoring is.
4. Recognize the different situations that will result to a default and forfeited game.

LESSON 2: Rules on the Playing Format

Rationale for the use of this information.
The playing format gives an idea on how volleyball is to be scored, so as to deter mine the
winner. In competitions, winning is strongly desired by every competing team. Knowing the
rules that govern the format of the game will lead the participants to understand as well as
abide by the rules, which in turn will guide their play. The score made by a team is one of the
motivating factors in their play, making each mem SCU the team desire for a point or score for
every endeavor they make. To the spectators the scores are keenly watched because it is
through the score that the excitement is sustained.

Playing Format:
A. TO SCORE A POINT
1. Playing Fault - During the volleyball match, when the team makes a playing action
contrary to the rules, or otherwise violates them, a playing fault is whistled by one of the
referees. The referees judge the faults and determine the penalties according to the rules:
a. If two or more faults are committed successively, only the first one is counted.
b. If two or more faults are committed by opponents simultaneously, a double fault is called
and the rally is replayed.
2. Consequence of a Fault - The consequence of a fault is loss of rally: the opponent of the
team committing the fault wins the rally with a point. If the opposing team receives the service,
it gains the right to serve and scores a point.
B. TO WIN A SET
A set of volleyball game is won by the team that scores first 25 points with a minimum lead
of two points. In case of a 24-24 tie, play is continued until a two-point lead is achieved (26-24,
27-25, ...).
C. TO WIN THE MATCH
1. The match in a volleyball game is won by the team that wins three sets out of five sets per
game.
2. In the case of a 2-2 tie, the deciding set (the 5h set) is played to 15 points with a minimum
lead of 2 points.
D. DEFAULT AND INCOMPLETE TEAM
1. If a team refuses to play after being summoned to do so, it is declared in default and
forfeits the match with the result 0-3 for the match and 0-25 for each set
2. A team that without justifiable reason does not appear on the playing court on time is
declared in default with the same result as above.
3.A team which is declared incomplete for the set or for the match loses the set or the match.
The opposing team is given the points, or the points and the sets needed to win the set or the
match. The incomplete team keeps its points and sets.

Lesson:3
Rules on the Structure of the Play

Rationale for the use of this information

In every game there is a beginning and an end. Between the beginning and the end, there
are many things that are being managed and done by both the officials and the participants.
Gaining information on what these are and the rules to be followed will make the participants
systematize their performance for the reason that they are familiar with the sequence of their
participation. Much more important, they should know the rules governing every action they
make. Due to this, the players will also be making the game systematic and enjoyable not only
to them but to the spectators, too.
Rules on the Structure of the Game
A. THE TOSS
1. Before the match, the first referee carries out a toss to decide upon the first service and
the sides of the court in the first set. If a deciding set is to be played, a new toss will be carried
out,
2. The toss is taken in the presence of the two team captains.
3.The winner of the toss chooses either:
a. The right to serve or to receive the service.
b. The side of the court. The loser takes the remaining choice.
4.In case of consecutive warm-ups, the team that has the first service takes the first turn at
the net.
B. WARM-UP SESSION
1. Prior to the match, if the teams have previously had a playing court at their disposal, each
team will have a 3-minute warm-up period at the net; if not, they may have 5 minutes each.
2. If both captains agree to warm up at the net together, the teams may do so for 6 to 10
minutes.
C. TEAM LINE-UP
1. There must always be six players per team in play. The team's starting line up indicates
the rotational order of the players on the court. This order must be maintained throughout the
set.
2. Before the start of each set, the coach has to present the starting line-up of his/her team on
a line-up sheet. The sheet is submitted, duly filled in and signed to the second referee or the
scorer.
3. The players who are not in the starting line-up of a set are the substitutes for that set.
4. Once the line-up sheet has been delivered to the second referee or to the scorer, no change in
line-up may be authorized without a normal substitution.

11
5. If there is a discrepancy discovered between the line-up sheet, players' positions must be
rectified according to that on the line up sheet. There will be no penalty.
6. Equally, if there is a player on court not recorded at all on the line-up sheet, before the start
of the set, the line-up on court must be rectified according to the line-up sheet. There will be no
penalty. (See sample team line-up form to be submitted by the coach before the start of the
game).

12
POSITION OF PLAYERS

POSITIONS
1. The moment the ball is hit by the server, each team must be positioned within its own
court in the rotational order (except the server).
2. The positions of the players are numbered as follows: The three players along the net are
front row players and occupy positions 4 (front left), 3 (front center) and 2 (front right). The
other three are back row players occupying positions 5 (back-left), 6 (back-center) and 1 (back
right).
3. Each back row player must be positioned further back from the net than the
corresponding front row player. The front row players and the back row players respectively
must be positioned laterally.
4 The positions of players are determined and controlled according to the positions of their
feet contacting the ground as follows: a. each front row player must have at least a part of

13
his/her foot closer to the center line than the feet of the corresponding back row player. b. each
right (left) side player must have at least a part of his/her foot closer to the right (left) sideline
than the feet of the center player of his row.
4. Once the ball has been served, the players may move around and occupy any position on
their court and the free zone.
POSITIONAL FAULT
1. A rotational fault is committed when the SERVICE is not made according to the rotational
order. It leads to the following consequences:
a. the team is sanctioned with a loss of rally
b. players' rotational order is rectified
2 Additionally, the scorer should determine the exact moment when the fault was committed
and all points remain valid. If that moment cannot be determined, no point(s) cancellation
takes place, and loss of rally is the only sanction.
SUBSTITUTION OF PLAYERS
1. A substitution is the act by which a player leaves the court and another player occupies
his/her position.
2. Substitution requires the referee's authorization
A. LIMITATIONS OF SUBSTITUTIONS
1. Six substitutions is the maximum permitted per team per set. One or more players may be
substituted at the same time.
2.A player of the starting line-up may leave the game and re-enter, but only once in a set, and
only to his/her previous position in the line-up.
3. A substitute player may enter the game, but only once per set in the place of A 3. 2. a starting
line-up player, and he/she can only be replaced by the player whom he/she replaced.
Aa
B. EXCEPTIONAL SUBSTITUTION
An injured player, who cannot continue playing should be substituted legally. If this is not
possible, the team is entitled to make an exceptional substitution.
C. SUBSTITUTION FOR EXPULSION
An expelled or disqualified player must be replaced through a legal substitution. If this is
not possible, the team is declared incomplete.
E. ILLEGAL SUBSTITUTION
A substitution is illegal, if it exceeds the limitations indicated.
Limitations of substitutions are done except on the exceptional substitution.
When a team has made an illegal substitution and a play has been resumed, the
following procedure shall apply:
a. The team is penalized with loss of rally.
b. The substitution is rectified.
c. The point is scored by the team at fault since the fault committed are cancelled.
The opponents' points remain valid.

 Lesson:3
Rules on the Playing Actions

Rules on the Playing Actions Prerequisites Successful completion of Lessons 3and

General Objective
To identify playing actions related to the use of the equipment and facilities like the ball,
the net and the playing court, as well as the rules governing each action
Specific Learning Objectives
1. Differentiate between "ball in play" and "ball out of play
2. Identify the different situations that would declare that the ball is "out"
3. Name the types of hit or contact done with the ball
4 Describe the allowed action of reaching beyond the net
5. State the provisions allowed for a player to penetrate into the opponent's court
6. Summarize players' faults at the net
Learning Activities
1.Review the specific learning objectives,
2 Read through the lesson. Discuss states of Play (Ball in Play, Ball out of Play, Ball is In, Ball
is A Out).
With the use of an illustration of the court as visual aid, identify the areas where the ball
would land that will be considered "in" and the areas such as objects outside bands and the
vertical plane of the net that would declare that the ball is out.
B. Playing the Ball
Review the area of play for each team.
C. Team Hits
Request some students to demonstrate consecutive hits, simultaneous contacts, and
assisted hits. Let the rest of the students identify who made the contact and the parts of the
body used during the contact.
D. Characteristics of Hits
Demonstrate by pointing out the different parts of the body allowed to make contact
with the ball.
E.Faults in Playing
Give examples and demonstration of an assisted hit.
F. Ball Crossing the Net
With the use of the illustration of the net as visual aid, review the net and its different
parts as mentioned in the discussion.
G Players at the Net
Discuss the action that usually happened at the net. With the use of the illustration of the
net as visual aid, pinpoint the area where the contact should be made so that the player will not
be charged for overreaching
G. Players' Faults at the Net
Using cut-outs that will represent a ball and a hand, two students will mount these on the
illustration of the court and net drawn at the referee's vantage point to illustrate
overreaching. A cut-out of put or hand will also be mounted on the illustration of the court
to show penetration into the opponent's court.
H. Answer the analysis at the end of this lesson.

16
 Rationale for the use of this information
In volleyball, playing actions are greatly determined by the ball restricted by the net and the
court boundaries. Because of the restrictions imposed upon by the playing facilities and
equipment, it is a must that the players should train their movements in answer to these
limitations and or restrictions. The power applied to the ball should be accurate so as not to
send the ball out of bounds. There should also be control of body movements so as not to touch
the net and penetrate into the opponents' court. All these speak of how the body should be
properly trained in response to the playing equipment and facilities resulting to skilled players
who will have lesser playing faults.
Playing Actions
A. STATES OF PLAY
1. Ball In Play - The ball is in play from the moment of the hit of the service authorized by the
first referee.
2. Ball Out of Play - The ball is out of play at the moment of the fault which is whistled by the
referee. The ball is also out of play in the absence of the fault before the moment of the whistle
by the referee to begin the game.
3 BALL "IN" - The ball is "in" when it touches the floor at the playing court 3. 4. including the
boundary lines.
4.BALL "OUT"- The ball is "out" when:
a. The part of the ball which contacts the floor is completely outside the boundary lines. 130
b. It touches an object outside the court, the ceiling, or a person out of
C. It touches the antenna, ropes, posts or outside the side bands. play.
d. It crosses the vertical plane of the net totally or even partly outside the crossing space
during service or into the opponent's court.
E.It crosses completely the lower space under the net.
A PLAYING THE BALL
Each team must play within its own playing area and space. The ball may, however, be
retrieved from beyond the free zone.
1. TEAM HITS - The team is entitled to a maximum of three hits in addition to blocking for
returning the ball. If more are used, the team commits the fault of FOUR HITS. The hits of the
team include not only in tentional hits by the players, but also unintentional contacts with the
ball such as:
A.CONSECUTIVE CONTACTS - A player may not hit the ball two times consecutively. b.
B.SIMULTANEOUS CONTACTS - Two or three players may touch the ball at the same moment.

 When two (three) teammates touch the ball simultaneously, it is counted as two (three)
hits (with exception of blocking). If they reach for the ball, but only one of them touches
it, one hit is counted. A collision of players does not constitute a fault.
 When two opponents touch the ball simultaneously over the net and ball remains in
play, the team receiving the ball is en titled to another three hits. If such a ball goes
"out," it is the fault of the team on the opposite side.
C.ASSISTED HIT
 Within the playing area, players are not permitted to take support from a teammate or
any structure/object in order to reach the ball.
 However, a player who is about to commit a fault (touch the net or cross the center line)
may be stopped or held back by a teammate.
2. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HIT
a. The ball may touch any part of the body.
b. The ball must be hit, not caught and/or thrown. It can rebound in any direction.
The ball may touch various part of the body, provided that the contacts take place
simultaneously.

Exception
a At blocking consecutive contact may be made by or one more blocker(s) provided that the
contact occurs during one action.
b. At the first hit of the team, the ball may contact various parts of the body consecutively
provided that the contacts occur during one action.

17
3. FAULTS IN PLAYING THE BALL
A. FOUR HITS - A team hits the ball four times before returning it
B.ASSISTED HIT - A player takes support from a teammate or any structure /object within the
playing area in order to reach the ball
C. CATCH - a player does not hit the ball, and the ball is caught and or thrown.
