II.GAME CHARACTERISTICS

Volleyball is a sport played by two teams on a playing court divided by a net.

A. OBJECTIVE OF THE GAME:

 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 (inaddition to the block contact).

B. TO PUT IN PLAY:
 The ball is put in play with a service: hit by theserver over the net to the opponents.
The rallycontinues until the ball is grounded on the playingcourt, goes “out” or a
team fails to return it properly.

C. SCORING SYSTEM:
 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.

F.1 Lines of the Court

Lines on the Court
 Carlos Hilado Memorial State College
Alijis Campus | Binalbagan Campus | Fortune Towne Campus | Talisay Campus
All lines are 5cm wide or 2in. – Light color different from the color
of the floor. eg. White
Boundary Lines:
2 Sidelines
2 Endline / Service Line
Center Line
Divides the playing court into two equal courts measuring 9 x 9m each;
however the entire width of the line is considered to belong to both
courts equally.
Attack Line
The line drawn 3m back from the center line.
F.2 Zones and Areas
Front Zone – is limited by the axis of the center line and rear edge of the
attack line. The front zone is considered to extend beyond the side
lines to the end of the free zone.

Service Zone – is a 9m wide area behind the end line. The service zones
extends to the end of the free zone.

Substitution Zone – is limited by the extension of both attack lines up to

the scorer’s table.

Libero Replacement Zone – is part of the free zone on the side of the
team benches, limited by the extension of the attack line up to the end
line.

Warm-up Area – sized approximately 3 x 3m are located in both of the

bench-side corners outside the free zone.

IV. BASIC SKILLS:

A. Service – the service is the act of putting the ball into play, by the back-right player,
placed in the service
zone.

Execution of service – the ball shall be hit with one hand or any part of the arm after
being tossed or released from the hand. Only one toss or release of the ball is allowed.

A serve is called an "ace" when the ball lands directly onto the court or travels outside
the court after being touched by an opponent.

TYPES OF SERVE:
a. Underhand – a serve in which the player strikes the ball below the waist instead of
tossing it up and striking it with an overhand throwing motion.
b. Overhand –
Topspin - an overhand serve where the player tosses the ball high and hits it with
a wrist span, giving it topspin which causes it to drop faster
 Carlos Hilado Memorial State College
Alijis Campus | Binalbagan Campus | Fortune Towne Campus | Talisay Campus
Float - an overhand serve where the ball is hit with no spin so that its path
becomes unpredictable.
Jump Serve - an overhand serve where the ball is first tossed high in the air,
then the player makes a timed approach and jumps to make contact with the
ball, hitting it with much pace and topspin.
Jump Float - an overhand serve where the ball is tossed high enough that
the player may jump before hitting it similarly to a standing float serve. The
ball is tossed lower than a topspin jump serve, but contact is still made while
in the air.

Cont. of BASIC SKILLS:

 Carlos Hilado Memorial State College
Alijis Campus | Binalbagan Campus | Fortune Towne Campus | Talisay Campus
B. Pass – Also called reception, the pass is the attempt by a team to properly
handle the opponent's serve, or any form of attack. Proper handling includes not
only preventing the ball from touching the court, but also making it reaches the
position where the setter is standing quickly and precisely.

C. Set – Is usually the second contact that a team makes with the ball. The main goal of
setting is to put the ball in the air in such a way that it can be driven by an attack into
the opponent's court. The setter coordinates the offensive movements of a team,
and is the player who ultimately decides which player will actually attack the ball.
There is also a jump set that is used when the ball is too close to the net.

D. Attack – also known as the spike, is usually the third contact a team makes with the
ball. The object of attacking is to handle the ball so that it lands on the opponent's
court and cannot be defended. A player makes a series of steps (the "approach"),
jumps, and swings at the ball.

E. Block – Block is the action of players close to the net to intercept the ball coming
from the opponent by reaching higher than the top of the net.

In blocking, the player may place his/her hands and arms beyond the net, provided
that this
action does not interfere with the opponent’s play. It is not permitted to touch the
ball beyond the net until an opponent has executed an attach hit.

A block contact is not counted as a team hit. After a block contact, a team is entitled
to three hits to return the ball.

Blocking an opponent’s serve is forbidden.

F. Dig – is the ability to prevent the ball from touching one's court after a spike or
attack, particularly a ball that is nearly touching the ground.

Specific Techniques:
"Dive" – Throw his or her body in the air with a forward movement in an attempt to
save the ball, and land on his or her chest.
"Pancake" – When the player also slides his or her hand under a ball that is almost
touching the court.

Interval – The time between sets. All intervals last for three minutes. The interval
between the second and the third set can be extended up to 10min. by the competent
body at the request of the organizer.

The Ball is “OUT” when:

The part of the ball contacts the floor is completely outside the boundary lines;
It touches and object outside of the court, the ceiling or a person out of play;
It touches an antennae, ropes, posts or the net outside the side bands.

VIII. PLAYER SPECIALIZATION (5 Positions):

1. Setter – Have the task for orchestrating the offense of the team. They aim for second
touch and their main responsibility is to place the ball in the air where the attackers can
place the ball into the opponents' court for a point. They have to be able to operate
 Carlos Hilado Memorial State College
Alijis Campus | Binalbagan Campus | Fortune Towne Campus | Talisay Campus
with the hitters, manage the tempo of their side of the court and choose the right
attackers to set.

2. Outside hitters/Left side hitters – attack from near the left antenna. The outside hitter is
usually the most consistent hitter on the team and gets the most sets. Inaccurate first
passes usually result in a set to the outside hitter rather than middle or opposite.

3. Middle blockers/Middle hitters – are players that can perform very fast attacks that
usually take place near the setter. They are specialized in blocking, since they must
attempt to stop equally fast plays from their opponents and then quickly set up a double
block at the sides of the court.

4. Opposite hitters or Right-side hitters – carry the defensive workload for a volleyball

team in the front row. Their primary responsibilities are to put up a well formed block
against the opponents' Outside Hitters and serve as a backup setter.

5. Libero – are defensive players who are responsible for receiving the attack or serve.
Liberos wear a different color jersey than their teammates.

VIII. POSITION OF PLAYERS:

IX. Misconduct and Delay

A. Misconduct – is defined as any kind of personal incorrect behavior towards the

opponents, spectators or, or in some cases, even team-mates. As with delaying the
game, Misconduct is sanctioned by using the red and yellow cards, but the similarity
ends there.
1. Unsportsmanlike Conduct
This is the least serious offence, for minor acts of misbehavior such as arguing
with the officials, trying to intimidate opponents and so on.

2. Rude Conduct
This is more serious offense and results in the award of misconduct penalty
against the team member, shown by the referee as in a card.

 3. Offensive or Aggressive Conduct

If a player makes a physical attack on another participant, or even an intended
aggressive act, the sanction is immediate disqualification.

B. Delay – An improper action of a team that defers resumption of the game is a delay
and includes, among others:
Delaying regular game interruptions;
Prolonging interruptions, after having been instructed to resume the game;
Requesting an illegal substitution;
Repeating an improper request;
Delaying the game by a team member.
Delaying play is a team offense, misconduct is dealt with on a personal basis.
