 Introduction of Volleyball
Volleyball is a non-invasive sports game of a net type where there are two competing teams of six
members who control the ball with parts of their body. There are both offensive and defensive tasks and
one game event may result in both winning and losing points. The duration of the match depends on
gaining a given number of points in sets and winning a certain number of sets.
Volleyball is one of the most spread sports in the world. It is played by millions of people of various age
categories. People who learn to play volleyball at a young age can play it at an adequate level until an
elderly age. Volleyball brings together features of individual skills and team work, creativity with
discipline, and dynamic effort with fun and enjoyment of active movement and controlling the ball, all
the way from the lowest to the professional level and international championships.
 History of Volleyball
Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan, physical director of the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) in Holyoke, Massachusetts. It was designed
as an indoor sport for businessmen who found the new game of basketball too vigorous. Morgan called the sport “mintonette,” until a professor from
Springfield College in Massachusetts noted the volleying nature of play and proposed the name of “volleyball.” The original rules were written by
Morgan and printed in the first edition of the Official Handbook of the Athletic League of the Young Men’s Christian Associations of North
America (1897). The game soon proved to have wide appeal for both sexes in schools, playgrounds, the armed forces, and other organizations in
the United States, and it was subsequently introduced to other countries.
 Rules of the game
Only 6 players on the floor at any given time: 3 in the front row and 3 in the back row.
Points are made on every serve for the winning team of the rally (rally-point scoring).
Players may not hit the ball twice in succession (a block is not considered a hit).
Ball may be played off the net during a volley and on a serve.
A ball hitting a boundary line is in.
A ball is out if it hits an antennae, the floor completely outside the court, any of the net or cables outside the antennae, the referee stand or
pole, or the ceiling above a non-playable area.
It is legal to contact the ball with any part of a player’s body.
It is illegal to catch, hold or throw the ball.
A player cannot block or attack a serve from on or inside the 10-foot line.
After the serve, front-line players may switch positions at the net.
Matches are made up of sets; the number depends on level of play.

 Fundamental skills of volleyball
1. Serving: The serve is the first contact in a volleyball game, and it's an important opportunity to gain an advantage over the
opposing team. It is a skill that every player must master as it’s the first move that can give your team momentum

2. Passing: Also known as the bump, is used to receive the ball from the opposing team's serve or hit. The goal of passing is to keep
the ball in play and set up an offensive play.

3. Setting: Setting or overhead passing is the most important step in an offensive play as it determines which player gets to spike or
attack. This is normally done by the team’s setter and is the second step in the pass-set-spike sequence

4. Attacking: Attacking, also known as hitting, is the final step in the pass-set-spike sequence and is used to score points. There are a
variety of different ways to attack a ball, but the most common and consistently effective way to do so is by spiking

5. Blocking: Blocking is a defensive skill used to stop the opposing team's attack and can also be used to potentially score points.
Blockers must focus on stopping the opposing team’s offensive attacks, while also paying attention to the opposing setter so that
they can better predict the opposing team’s attack strategy.

6. Digging: Digging is a defensive skill used to save the ball from hitting the ground. It is often done when the ball does not come
directly at the player, and a standard underhand pass would be impossible or extremely difficult to get
