4 rules of etiquette

-announce the score before each serve -roll the ball under the net when returning it to the server -do not kick the volleyball -play the ball only when it is near you allowing other teammates an opportunity to be part of the game. (Although competition is an integral part of the game, cooperation is important in setting up the ball and accomplishing other team strategies.)

The first 3 rules of volleyball, let serve, player hit, and team hit

1. Let serve - If the ball is served and makes contact with the net but reaches the opposing team's side, the ball is considered in play. 2. A player may not hit the ball two times in a row. The only exception is if a player attempts to block and touches the ball, then he/she may play the next ball. 3. A team may only touch the ball three times before it is sent over the net.

8-10 rules of volleyball, contact, rotation, blocking a serve

8. No player may contact the ball on the opponent's side of the net, unless it is a block. 9. Players rotate in a clockwise position. 10. Blocking a served ball is not permitted, nor is attacking a served ball while the ball is directly over the net.

4-6 rules of volleyball, players on team, net violation and spiking

4. There are 6 players on each team on the court at a time. 5. A net violation occurs when any player comes in contact with the net with any part of the body while the ball is in play. When spiking the ball, the spiker's follow-through may not contact the net. 6. Players from the back row are allowed to spike the volleyball; however, they have to jump from behind the 10 foot line (spiking line).

Def of legal hit, illegal hit, carry, double hit, and foul

Legal Hit - Contact with the ball by a player's body above the waist, and in which the ball does not visibly come to rest. Illegal Hit - Any hit below the waist, or if the ball visibly comes to rest momentarily on any part of the body. Carry - When the ball rests momentarily on one or both hands. Double hit - If one player hits the ball more than once consecutively, or can be uneven contact. Foul - An infraction of the rules.

Forearm Pass

Method of passing the ball by bouncing it simultaneously off of both forearms. Commonly used for serve reception, passing a hard spiked ball, or passing a ball lower than the nose or away from the middle of the player's body. Usually the first hit by the receiving team.

Serve

Method of putting the ball in play (from behind the end line of the court). The serve must be made from within a service area from right side line to the left side line. There are three types of serves: underhand, sidearm and overhand.

Set/Overhead pass

Overhand technique of putting the ball into the air close to the net for the spike. Usually the second hit after the forearm pass.

Dig

Passing of a powerfully spiked or hit ball. The back row players are responsible for digging the ball and keeping it in play.

Court and Player Position

RB = Right back/server CB = Center/Middle back LB = Left back RF = Right forward/right side hitter CF = Center forward/middle hitter LF = Left forward/outside hitter

Spike

Striking of the ball with the hand above net height to send the ball forcefully downward into the opponent's court. This is the ideal third hit in a series. "BUMP, SET, and SPIKE" is the ideal offense attack.

3 types of serve

The underhand serve is the easiest to master and is used by beginners. The sidearm serve can be useful if you want lower trajectory and can put spin on the ball. The overhand serve is the type most commonly seen and is very powerful and most difficult to receive.

Basic def of game

Volleyball is a game played by two teams of 6 players, each on a rectangular court separated into two areas by a net. One team serves the ball over the net, trying to make it land with the opponent's playing area. The receiving team shall return the ball over the net in a manner that it should land in the opponent's playing area. Every time the ball hits the floor a point is scored. This method of scoring is known as rally scoring.

When was volleyball first introduced to the Olympics and when did us men first win it

Volleyball was introduced to the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 1964. In 1984, the US men won their first Olympic Gold Medal in Volleyball.

Who, when, why and where was Volleyball developed

YMCA Director William G. Morgan developed the game of volleyball in 1895 in Holyoke, Massachusetts. It was devised as a recreational activity for businessmen who wanted a game that had less physical contact than basketball.

Line/Court Rules:

a. A ball is considered in bounds if any part of the ball is touching the side or end line. b. A player may step on the centerline but his/her entire foot may not be completely over the line. c. When serving, a player may not step on or over the end line until after contacting the ball. d. If the ball hits the antenna, it is considered out of bounds. e. If the ball hits the ceiling and comes down on the opposing team's court, it is considered out of bounds. However, if the ball contacts the ceiling and comes down on the same side of the net, the ball is still playable.

Rally scoring

when the serving team wins a rally, they score a point. When the receiving team wins a rally, they gain a point and the right to serve.
