Volleyball is a dynamic team sport played on a rectangular court of 18 x 9 meters, divided by a central net. The objective is to send the ball over the net so that it lands on the opponent's floor while preventing the same from happening on your own side.Core Gameplay and Structure
- Team Composition: Each team consists of six players on the court at all times: three in the front row and three in the back row.
- Starting the Play: A rally begins with a serve from behind the end line. The server must hit the ball over the net into the opponent's area.
- Three-Touch Rule: A team is allowed a maximum of three touches to return the ball. Typically, these include a pass (forearm hit), a set (overhead finger pass), and an attack or spike.
- Consecutive Hits: A single player cannot touch the ball twice in a row, although a block does not count as one of the three touches.
Scoring and Winning
- Rally Scoring: Points are awarded on every single play, regardless of which team served.
- Set and Match: To win a set, a team must reach 25 points with at least a two-point lead. Matches are usually played as a best-of-five format; if a fifth deciding set is needed, it is played to 15 points.
- Rotation: Every time a team wins the serve back from the opponent, the players must rotate one position clockwise.
Important Violations
- Net Contact: Players are generally not allowed to touch the net while the ball is in play.
- Ball Handling: It is illegal to catch, hold, or throw the ball; every contact must be a clean "hit".
- Boundary Lines: A ball is considered "in" if it touches any part of the boundary line. It is "out" if it hits the antennae, the floor completely outside the lines, or the ceiling in non-playable areas.
