4. Volleyball is an
Olympic team sport in which two teams of
six players are separated by a net. Each
team tries to score points by grounding a
ball on the other team's court under
organized rules.[FIVB]
6. History
On February 9, 1895, in Holyoke, Massachusetts (USA),
William G. Morgan, a YMCA physical education director,
created a new game called Mintonette as a pastime to be
played preferably indoors and by any number of players.
The F辿d辿ration Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB), was
founded in 1947, and the first World Championships were
held in 1949 for men and 1952 for women.
7. The sport was officially included in the program for
the 1964 Summer Olympics.
Beach volleyball, a variation of the game played on
sand and with only two players per team, became a
FIVB endorsed variation in 1987 and was added to
the Olympic program at the 1996 Summer Olympics.
Volleyball is also a sport at the Paralympics managed
by the World Organization Volleyball for Disabled.
9. How to play Volleyball
A player on one of the teams begins a 'rally
by serving the ball, from behind the back
boundary line of the court, over the net, and
into the receiving team's court.
The receiving team must not let the ball be
grounded within their court. They may touch
the ball as many as three times.
10. How to play Volleyball
The rally continues, with each team
allowed as many as three
consecutive touches
The team that wins the rally is
awarded a point and serves the ball
to start the next rally.
11. How to play Volleyball
The game continues, with the first team to
score 25 points (and be two points ahead)
awarded the set.
Matches are best-of-five sets and the fifth set (if
necessary) is usually played to 15 points.
The ball is usually played with the hands or
arms, but players can legally strike or push
(short contact)the ball with any part of the body.
13. Equipment
Ball: made of leather or synthetic
leather, have a circumference of 6567
cm, a weight of 260280g and an inside
pressure of 0.300.325 kg/cm2.
15. Equipment
The court
A court 18 meters long and 9
meters wide, divided into two 9
m 9 m halves by a net.
Attack line This "3 meter"
line divides the court into
"back row" and "front row"
areas (also back court and
front court).
16. Equipment
The court
Free Zone which is a minimum of 3
meters wide and which the players
may enter and play within after the
service of the ball. If a ball comes in
contact with the line, the ball is
considered to be "in".
An antenna is placed on each side of
the net perpendicular to the sideline
and is a vertical extension of the side
boundary of the court. A ball passing
over the net must pass completely
between the antennae without
contacting them.
18. Skill
- It is a action that we use in an activity.
- e.g. service, pass, set, etc
Technique
- It is the way in which a skill is performed
- e.g. Line and Cross-court Shot, Dump etc.
20. Serve
A player stands behind the inline and serves the ball, in an attempt to
drive it into the opponents court.
"ace" when the ball lands directly into the court or travels outside the
court after being touched by an opponent.
Types of serves:

22. Set
It is usually the second contact.
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 opponents court.
The setter coordinates the offensive movements of a team.
Overhand and Bump Set.
Dump When the setter tries to play it directly onto the opponents court.
23. Pass
Reception, is usually the first contact.
The main goal of passing is to prevent the ball from
touching the court, and making it reach the position
where the setter is standing quickly and precisely.
The skill of passing involves fundamentally two
specific techniques:
- underarm pass (bump), where the ball touches the
inside part of the joined forearms or platform, at
waistline.
- overhand pass, where it is handled with the fingertip
24. Attack
Spike is usually the third contact.
The object of attacking is to handle the ball so that it
lands on the opponent's court and cannot be defended.
Ideally the contact with the ball is made at the apex of
the hitter's jump.
The hitter uses arm swing, wrist snap, and a rapid
forward contraction of the entire body to drive the ball.
A 'bounce' /A "kill"
26. Block
Blocking refers to the actions taken by players
standing at the net to stop or alter an opponent's
attack.
The jump should be timed so as to intercept the
ball's trajectory prior to it crossing over the net.
A "roof" offensive block, A soft defensive block
Single (or solo), double, or triple block.
The block position influences the positions where
other defenders place themselves while opponent
hitters are spiking.
27. Dig
Digging 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.
This skill is similar to passing,
or bumpingarms.
"dive", "pancake".
28. Players
Setters. 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. Setters need to have swift and skillful
appraisal and tactical accuracy, and must be quick at
moving around the court.
Liberos are defensive players who are responsible
for receiving the attack or serve. They are usually the
players on the court with the quickest reaction time
and best passing skills.
29. Players
Middle blockers or Middle hitters are players that
can perform very fast attacks that usually take place
near the setter. They are specialized in blocking.
Outside hitters or 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.
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.
31. Formation
The formation as "4-2", "6-2" and "5-1",refers to the
number of hitters and setters, respectively. 4-2 is a basic
formation used only in beginners' play, while 5-1 is by far
the most common formation in high-level play.
4-2
Four hitters and two setters. The setters usually set from
the middle front or right front position. The team will
therefore always have two front-row attackers.
32. Formation
6-2
The 6-2 formation is a 4-2 system, but the back-row setter penetrates to set.
The advantage of the 6-2 is that there are always three front-row
hitters available, maximizing the offensive possibilities.
5-1
The 5-1 formation has only one player who assumes setting responsibilities
regardless of his or her position in the rotation.
The player opposite the setter in a 5-1 rotation is called the opposite hitter.
The 5-1 offense is actually a mix of 6-2 and 4-2: when the setter is in the front
row, the offense looks like a 4-2; when the setter is in the back row, the offense
looks like a 6-2.
