Volleyball Rules

There are 2 teams playing against each other. Each team consists of six people and a Libero. The team that wins the right to serve is decided by tossing a coin to start the game. The player on the serving team tosses the ball and tries to hit it to pass the net and hit the ground in the opponent's court.

The opposing team must bring the ball back over the net with a maximum of 3 touches (excluding one block), and each player must not touch the ball twice in a row (except for 1 block). In addition, before the ball leaves the hand, the foot must not touch the goal line; toss the ball up before serving.

The ball can only be played after the referee's whistle. In the rules of volleyball, there are common errors as follows:

  • Faulty touching the ball: is an error of touching the ball over the above regulations.
  • Ball-sticking error: is a mistake assessed by the referee when the player hits the ball indecisively, the time of touching the ball is long when passing the ball, the palm is hit the ball.

Positions in the Team Lineup

Libero

The position is only allowed to defend and make save moves, not to kick the ball and attack through the opponent's court.

Libero's only attack technique when playing indoors is probably bouncing the ball against the ceiling, taking advantage of gravity to make a ball of several hundred grams increase into a few kilograms when bouncing from the ceiling directly into the opponent's court, making it difficult to catch the ball.

However, this is not an easy skill. Libero is allowed to enter and exit the field freely without notifying the referee to allow the players in the attack to rest.

Set

It is the position to pass the ball to a teammate in the most favorable way to attack the opponent's half, mainly passing in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th positions and rarely in the 5th position. Usually, the main pass is in 3rd position, with two smashers on both sides: 2 and 4. The attacker is in an important position; the person with good bounce needs to have a good height, must have power in the hand that needs to move well on the court.

Scoring Method

Indoor volleyball: Play in a 5 game win 3 format. The team that reaches 25 points first and must create a distance of at least 2 points from the other team will win that game. In Particular, the 5th game only hit 15 points.

Beach Volleyball: Competing in a 3-game win-2 format. The team that reaches 21 points first and must create a distance of at least 2 points from the other team will win that game.
