A Sport Unto Itself
Played popularly since the late nineteenth century, Volleyball has quickly become one of the most popular sports in the entire world with over a billion people playing the game every week. And indoor volleyball is by far the most popular variation of the sport.
Indoor volleyball is typically played on a volleyball court 18 meters (59 feet) long and 9 meters (29.5 feet) wide, divided into two 9 m × 9 m halves by a one-meter (40-inch) wide net placed so that the top of the net is 2.43 meters (7 feet 11 5/8 inches) above the center of the court for men’s competition, and 2.24 meters (7 feet 4 1/8 inches) for women’s competition (these heights are varied for veterans and junior competitions).
There is a line in each team court which is considered the “attack line”. This “3 meter” (or 10 foot) line divides the court into “back row” and “front row” areas (also back court and front court). In indoor volleyball these aredivided into 3 areas each: these are numbered counter clockwise as follows, starting from area “1″, which is the position of the serving player:
After a team Sides out or gains a serve, there is a clockwise rotation of the team members, with the player previously in area “2″ moving to area “1″ and so on, with the player from area “1″ moving to area “6″.
In indoor volleyball, thee free zone is a place which is a minimum of 3 meters wide and one in which indoor volleyball players may enter and play within after the service of the ball. All lines denoting the boundaries of the team court in indoor volleyball and the attack zone are drawn or painted within the dimensions of the area and are therefore a part of the court or zone. If a ball comes in contact with the line, the ball is considered to be “in”. A “pin” or antenna is placed on each side of the net perpendicular to the sideline and is a vertical extension of the side boundary of the court. A ball passing over the net must pass completely between the pins without hittng them.
