The volleyball court is 18 meters from endline to endline and 9 meters from sideline to sideline.

The centerline (below the net) divides the court in half. Each team’s attack line is three meters from the centerline. A back-row player must stay behind the attack line when jumping to contact a ball that is above the height of the net. Players may initiate the serve from anywhere along the endline.
For women’s volleyball, the net is 2.24 meters (7 feet, 4-1/8 inches) high; for men’s volleyball, the net is 2.43 meters (7 feet, 11-5/8inches) high. The net should be strung tightly to avoid any sagging and to allow a ball driven into the net to rebound cleanly instead of dropping straight to the floor.

Antennae are connected to the volleyball net just above the sidelines. The volleyball must always pass over the net and between the antennae on a serve and throughout a rally. Safety rules require that the poles and the referee stand must be padded.
Volleyball is a sport played by two teams on a playing court divided by a net. There are different versions of the game, which can be adapted to specific circumstances, to ensure that everyone can enjoy the versatility of the game.
The game aims to send the ball over the net to land on the opposing team's court and prevent this from happening on their own court. The team has three hits to return the ball (in addition to the blocked hit).
The ball is put into play with a service: sent with a hit by the server over the net towards the opponents. The action continues until the ball touches the court, is sent out, or a team fails to return it correctly.
In volleyball, the team that wins a rally scores a point. When the receiving team wins a rally, it scores a point and the right to serve, and its players rotate one position clockwise.
The concept of rotation ensures that all athletes are complete. The rules on the positions of the athletes must allow the teams to be flexible and to create interesting tactical developments.
The competitors use this structure to develop techniques, tactics and power of play and this allows the players a freedom of expression that excites spectators and viewers.

Learning the fundamentals of volleyball can be a lot of fun. Volleyball is a unique and exciting sport that requires solid teamwork and consistent individual execution.
Unlike many other team sports, players rotate through different positions on the court, so everyone must be prepared to play different roles on the team. At the competitive level, players can specialize, but beginners and recreational players should learn the basics of all positions.
Volleyball is a team sport played between two teams with six players on each team.
The object of the game is to score points by getting the ball to hit the ground on the opponent's court (offensive phase) and preventing the opposing team from doing the same (defence phase).
Volleyball is also often called shortly volley.
Volleyball has been included in the Summer Olympic Games program since 1964 at the Tokyo Games, consolidating its fame and its status as a top-level sport, and is now one of the most practised sports, especially among women.
In addition to this, on a sunny beach, another variant of volleyball had captured the hearts of millions of fans: beach volleyball. This exciting version of the game, introduced to the Olympics in 1996, presents a new level of difficulty due to the unpredictability of the sand as a playing surface.
