Study Notes
Volleyball Basics
- A volleyball game consists of two teams of six players each, separated by a net.
- The six volleyball court positions are setter, middle blocker, outside hitter, opposite hitter, libero, and serving specialist.
How to Play Volleyball
- The game starts with a coin flip to determine which team serves the ball first.
- The objective is to score points by sending the ball over the net, grounding it into the opponent’s court.
- A maximum of three hits per side is allowed.
- Volleyball matches are made up of sets, typically three or five sets.
Volleyball Rules
- Only six players are allowed on the floor at any given time: three in the front row and three in the back row.
- Points are made on every serve for the winning team of the rally (rally-point scoring).
- Players cannot hit the ball twice in succession (a block is not considered a hit).
- A ball hitting a boundary line is in, but it is out if it hits an antennae, the floor completely outside the court, any of the net or cables outside the antennae, the referee stand or pole, or the ceiling above a non-playable area.
Volleyball Terms
- 1-Ball: A first tempo set in the middle of the court just in front of the setter.
- Absorption: Giving with the ball as it is contacted by the passer, using a cushioning effect with the momentum of the ball’s rebound.
- Ace: A serve that results directly in a point, either when the ball hits the floor on the receiving team’s side of the court untouched, or when it is touched but unable to be kept in play by the receiving team.
- Antennae: Thin poles attached to the net cables placed above the sideline.
- Assist: When a player sets, passes or digs the ball directly to a teammate who attacks the ball and gets a kill.
- Attack: The action of attempting to hit the ball onto the opponent's side of the court.
- Attacker: A player who attempts to hit a ball offensively with the purpose of terminating play.
