VOLLEYBALL STUDY GUIDE

HISTORYThe history of volleyball is very interesting! The game originated in the USA in 1895 and was popularized throughout the world in later years. William C. Morgan of Springfield, Mass. first devised the game which combined the skills from tennis, handball and baseball. It was well liked by the businessmen at the YMCA where Morgan first brought the game as it was less strenuous than basketball.

Schools began having volleyball as a team sport in 1915, and by the year 1925, volleyball had its set of established rules that continue today. Volleyball is now played in more than 60 countries, is one of the most popular Olympic sports for men and women and is also played professionally by two, three and four person sand teams. The object of the game is to score more points than the other team by hitting the ball over the net to a spot where the other team has a difficult time returning it.

BASIC RULES1. The team who wins the toss of a coin decides to take the service or court side.2. In an official game of volleyball, there are six players per team.3. The server must stay behind the back right corner of the end line while serving the ball.

After the serve, the server should move in to his or her position on the court.4. When using traditional style scoring, the serving team may score points. 5. When using rally style scoring, either team may gain a point after a play is finished.6. Once a team gains a serve back, they must rotate clockwise one position before serving

again.7. The ball may not be carried or held.8. Players may not reach over or touch the net.9. The ball may be played a maximum of three times by a team before going over the net;

however, the same player may not touch the ball twice in succession.10. A ball touching the boundary line is considered in bounds.11. A team wins when it scores fifteen points and has a two point lead; otherwise, play

continues until a two point advantage is obtained. 12. At the end of each game, teams exchange ends. The losing team begins the new game.13. Blocking nor a spike on the service is not allowed. 14. A side out occurs when:

A ball touches the floor A team plays the ball more than three times The ball is held or pushed A player touches the ball twice consecutively, except when blocking A player touches the net A team is out of position for the serve A player lands in the opponent’s court during play
