VOLLYBALL
A match is played by two teams of 6 players (3 men and 3 women, 4 men and 2 women or 4 women and 2 men). Teams playing with 4 players may play 2 men and 2 women. Net height will be 7 Ft. 11 5/8 inches. Substitutions must be of the same sex (male for male and female for female). The line-up must alternate between male and female players. If the ball is played (hit) 3 times on one side a female must be one of the three hits.
Every sport has strategies so common that they are applied almost automatically. These expected forms of play are used in response to various recurring athletic situations. Like other sports, volleyball has certain strategies which, when properly executed, improve the soundness of a team’s game and increase the chances for success. Volleyball’s basic strategies can be seen clearly in terms of the sport’s six basic skills – digging, setting, spiking, blocking, serving and receiving the serve.
- Server must serve from behind the end line (dark green/blue) until after contact.
- Ball may be served underhand or overhand. Ball must be clearly visible to opponents before serve.
- Ball must be clearly visible to opponents before serve.
- First game serve is determined by a volley, each subsequent game shall be served by the previous game loser.
