 HISTORY AND RULES OF
VOLLEY BALL

Volleyball is a sport that originated in the United States in

1895. It was invented by William G. Morgan, who was
looking for a game that could be played indoors during the
winter months ¹. The game was initially called "Mintonette"
but was later renamed "Volleyball" because of the way the
ball is volleyed back and forth over the net ².

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 ¹².

The rules of volleyball have evolved over time. In 1916, in

the Philippines, the skill and power of the set and spike had
been introduced, and four years later a "three hits" rule and
a rule against hitting from the back row were established ³.
Points per set changed from 21 to 15 points in 1917, and in
the following year, the number of players per team was set
at six ².
Here are some basic rules of volleyball:

- The game is played by two teams of six players each.

- The objective is to score points by hitting the ball over the

net so that it lands on the opponent's side of the court.

- A team is allowed three touches to return the ball over the

net.

- A player is not allowed to touch the ball twice

consecutively.

- A ball that lands on the boundary line is considered "in."

- A team wins a set by scoring 25 points with a two-point

advantage. If there is no two-point advantage, play
continues until one team has a two-point lead ¹.
BASIC CUES IN
VOLLEYBALL
 SETTING

Setting

The setter is the

playmaker in volleyball.
They prepare the ball so
it’s well-placed for an
attacker to shoot and
score a point for their
team. Overhead setting is
when a player places both
their hands above their
forehead, creating a
triangle shape with their
thumbs and index fingers.
They push the ball up with
their fingers, with the
attacker ready to take
their shot.

I Receiving

E This is where a player

receives the ball from
V the server and passes it
to the playmaker. This is
I usually done with an
underhand bump in a
N short,controlled manner,
with minimal arm swing.

G It’s quite literally a

bump, rather than a hit.
 SPIKING

Spiking

This is one of the most

impressive-looking
moves in the game. A
spike is generally
when a player runs,
jumps and hits the ball
over the net with a
powerful swing.
Usually this is a move
for an attacker or
shooter, as these big
hits usually win points.
If you’re a beginner, try
to avoid spiking until
you can maintain a
long rally.

When the ball is heading

attack, a defender from

dive forward to bump the
ball back up and pass it to
another team member.
REFLECTION
In executing the cues in volleyball, I learned that
force isn’t just the only thing needed in playing
such sport, like any other sports volleyball needs
discipline in order to execute it properly. Firstly, is
proper posture, your posture can affect on how the
ball will move and land. Learning the proper hand
position is a must in playing volleyball. Also, bad
posture can cause minor to major injuries. Second
is control, too much force can cause the ball to
travel away outside the court, the same with
exerting lesser force that might cause the ball to
not pass through the net. Control is not just about
how much force you should inflict to the ball but
also about the way you hit the ball, you should
calculate whenever you strike the ball making it
land to the place you want it to be. Thirdly is timing,
this is more useful in spiking. You should make
sure that your hand is in sync with the ball and
strike it in time.
 UNDER SERVE
How to do an under
serve
Keep your dominant foot back and
keep your weight on it until you’re
ready to step forward.
Cup the ball lightly in your non-
dominant hand; don’t grip it with
your fingers.
Hold the ball at about mid-thigh
height, and lean forward to bring
yourself closer to the ball.
Look at where you want the ball to
go, then focus on the bottom of the
ball where you will hit it.
Squeeze your hand into a fist and
draw your hitting arm straight behind
you, quickly.
Step forward as you swing your
hitting arm toward the ball, shifting
your weight to your non-dominant
foot.
Release the ball just before your fist
makes contact.
Follow through with your fist
continue to sail upward as the ball
arcs over the net.
Immediately prepare for the other
team to return the ball by sinking
into a ready position with your arms
