RULES IN THE VOLLEYBALL

Volleyball is a team game which has six players that play on either side of the net. A
set of rules decide the score that each team is able to make against the other team. The
game begins with a player from one team throwing the ball using hand or arm over the
net so that the opposite team can receive it on their court.
The basic rule is to prevent the received ball from hitting the ground so that it can be
thrown back to the other team with up to 3 touches from the team. A foul happens if
one person from the team touches the ball more than twice (double-hit) while it’s on
their side of the net. Also, a team scores a point by throwing the call across the net to
the other team’s side such that it hits the ground directly or the player fails to send it
back over the net.
Thus there are basically two ways to score a point-a) one is by throwing the ball on
the ground of the opponent team passing over the net b) another is if the opponent
team is unable to render the ball back into the court of serving team.
Volleyball is played in different variations in different parts. There are some

rules for the serve in the game of volleyball:
1) The ball has to be served underhand or overhand.
2) The player who serves the ball must stand behind the end line on his/her side of the
court while making the serve
.3) the served ball must cross the net and reach the opponent side.
4) The ball has to be clearly visible to the opponent team.
Similarly there are rules for rotation:

1) Teams change sides as the other team wins the serve
2) Clockwise rotation of the players happens
The minimum number of players on each side for a game is 4 while the maximum is
6. Indoor and outdoor are two variations of volleyball game. Outdoor volleyball is
also played as beach volleyball on the beach. Indoor volleyball has six players in each
team while beach volleyball has even two persons in each team.
Here are some things to avoid when playing the game:
1. Touching the net when playing is counted a foul.

2. Do not place your foot on the back line when serving the ball called as foot fault.
3. One person from the team should not touch the ball more than twice also known as
double hit.
4. Pushing the ball is not allowed.
5. Catching and throwing the ball is not allowed when playing.
6. The ball should not touch the ground on the opponent’s side without crossing over
the net.
Spiking, blocking, passing, setting and positions of the players for defense are some
techniques used while playing the game of volleyball. There are disputes over the
origin of the game. While the game evolved in 1900, the rules were set first in
Philippines in 1916. In order to promote this game, the American Expeditionary
Forces distributed close to 16000 volleyballs in 1919 amongst their troops and allies.
Canada was the first country after United States to adopt this game. Summer
Olympics included the Beach Volleyball variation of volleyball played on sand with
only two team members in either team in year 1964.
Rules of the game also evolved with time. Score points changed from 21 to 15 and
also before 1999 only the team that served the ball could make a score. But later this
changed to current scoring system where rally point system was adopted. Also the
dimensions of the court are important for someone to know who is interested in the
game of volleyball. The court is 18m long with a width of 9m. The net divides the
court into two equal squares 9m X 9m in size. The net is placed such that the top of it
is 2.43 m above ground. At 3 m on either side of the court a line is drawn which
separates the playing area of the team into front row and back row.
Some recent rule changes to the game include the serves to be allowed wherein the
ball enters the opponent’s court after touching the net. Expansion of the sidelines so
that the player can move and serve from anywhere behind the end lines is another key
change in the game rules. Multiple contacts are now allowed for a single player while
trying to pass the ball to the opponent’s court instead of the double –hit rule that was
followed previously.
Not knowing the basic volleyball rules can be a frustrating experience whether you're
a player, coach, or just a fan.You may have stumbled upon volleyball on television.
You're watching the game, the referees make a call, and you don't understand why.
Maybe you have a sudden interest in volleyball now that your daughter has made the
high school volleyball team. You want to understand the rules the best you can so you
can cheer her team on.Maybe you're a player that often gets frustrated when a referee
makes a call that you don't understand.
Maybe you're coaching and looking for every advantage you can get to help your team
win. Maybe you're a recreational volleyball player that is looking for that edge you
need. Whether you're a coach, athlete, parent, fan, or just a recreational player, it's a
good idea to be familiar with the basic volleyball rules.
