Volleyball is played on a court by two teams of six people. The teams usually try to defend and set up an attack. The game ends when one team is clear by two points. Points can be earned by hitting, passing or playing a set. Games typically last between three and five sets. However, they may be shorter if the level of play is high.
The volleyball court is divided into two equal parts, or zones, by a line called the attack line. One half of the court is considered the "weak" side. This side is left-handed for spikers who are right-handed, and the other is left-handed for spikers who are left-handed.
Each player in a team has a specific position. The front-row is made up of three players and the back-row three. The front-row will jump in front of an opposing spiker when the spiker comes into contact with the ball. To intercept a spiked basketball, players may also utilize the "A", B," C," D," or Pipe.
Serving requires that a player stands behind the line of service, usually 3m long, between the baseline line and the end. A volleyball server can serve overhand or underhand, but overhand gives the serving team a better chance of winning a point. The 1996 Olympics saw an increase in the area of service to 9 meters.
According to volleyball rules, a ball cannot be blocked by a player if it's being served. After the player has touched the ball, the server must not step on the service line.
A player can hit the ball three times after the first hit. A foul occurs when a player hits it twice in a row. According to the volleyball rules, no player may hit the ball more than two times in a row.
If a player is attacking, the back-rower hits the ball behind the attack-line, which separates the attack- and backrow positions. The back-row player is not allowed to block or hit the ball above the net. It is also against the rules for back-row players to attack the ball while it is on the attack line.
Serves are when the back-row player hits a spiked ball over a net. The ball may then fall into the other side of the court. It is considered out of play if the ball lands on the wall or on the antennae.
The volleyball game ends after one point. The offensive team will score if the defense makes an error. However, if the defense commits an error, the opponent will score.
After the point, players will be rotated about the playing court. There can only be six players on the court at one time. Team rotations must be done clockwise, with three in the front row and three in the back. There are only two time-outs allowed per set.
