CONDITIONS FOR PLAYING VOLLEYBALL

BASIC

Volleyball is a collective sport that can be played both outdoors and indoors.

 The pitch is a rectangle of 18 · 9 meters, divided into two equal parts

By a center line.

The line of attack is located three meters from this, which delimits the offensive zone.

The net varies in height. In men it measures 2.43 m. And in women, 2.24 m. At the top of the are two rods that protrude 0.80 .. and delimit the space through which the ball has to pass.

At the end of the terrain is the service area, with a width of three meters.

Each of the teams they face consists of six players on the pitch and a maximum of six substitutes.

THE ROTATION

Before starting each set, the two teams must give the order of rotation. This consists in placing the players in a certain position in the field. The field of play is divided into two areas: attack and defense. Before each service (serve), we will find three attackers and three defenses.

The attackers will occupy, from right to left, positions 2,3 and 4. The defenses, 1.6 and 5. The order of rotation will always be the one delivered before each set, being its default reason for lack. After each service recovery, the unit will have to change positions by following the clockwise direction. The player occupying zone 4, in the following rotation, must occupy zone 3, and so on.

The rotation should only be maintained at the moment of service, once once the ball is in play you can make any changes of position you want. During play, however, only the forwards can attack the ball or block it. If a defender performs such actions, it would be considered foul (except for shots from behind the attack line).

THE GAME

The ball is put into play through service, which does not have to touch the net but pass between the rods and fall into the opposing field.

Once the service is done, each team can make a maximum of three rings. The first one is called reception and is usually performed with a forearm pass towards the setter; The second is placement, usually with a finger pass, and the third is the shot.

It is considered foul if the team makes four touches (if the ball touches the block first, three touches can still be made).

Only the team that owns the service can add points. Thus, if a point is made without having the service, a ball recovery (change of service) occurs.

You get a point when you get the ball to touch the ground of the opposing team or that the opposing team commits a foul.

Among the various faults we have:

* Retention: when the ball is not hit but pushed or driven.

* Double: make two or more hits in the same action for a play (excepted in the reception of the service or in the block).

* Invasion: move to the field.

* Touch the network.

* Hit the ball with those parts of the body not allowed (it is allowed to hit from waist up).

* When the ball touches the ground of the field itself.

* Top the ball when it is in the field.

* Make a throw that does not go directly to the "enemy" field.

FINAL...

A team wins the match when it gets three sets, allowing up to five sets to play. You get the set when you reach 15 points, taking two points at least advantage to the opposing team. If it were not so, it would continue playing until it gained by two points of advantage, but only until reaching the 17 points. In this score, you win the set even though you do not have two points of advantage. Thus, for example, you can win the set with a score of 17-16. In the fifth set, you get a point whenever the opposing team is missing, and even if you do not have the service.

MEETINGS

The volleyball matches are led by a first referee, a second referee, a scorer and two line judges who form the referee team. The first referee is the director of the game and who makes the final decisions. The second referee acts as an auxiliary and is in charge of controlling the network, the center line and possible faults of rotation of the equipment. The function of the scorer is to keep the minutes of the match, while the line judges are responsible for monitoring the bottom lines and the sides closest to them.
