The History of Volleyball🏐

Volleyball Skills with Mr. Mair on PBS
Picture

  • In the year 1895 William G. Morgan created the game of Volleyball at the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) in Holyoke, Massachusetts.
  • When the game was first created it was played using a Tennis net the was hung 6 feet, 6 inches off of the floor.
  • The first volleyball game was played at Springfield College on July 7th, 1896.
  • In 1916 the strategy of using the set and spike was introduced in the Philippines.
  • In 1928 the United States Volleyball Association, which is now known as USA Volleyball, was formed.
  • In the 1964 Olympics, that was played in Tokyo, the game of volleyball was introduced.

Rules of the Game


  • Object of the Game – Volleyball is a game in which players from opposing teams volley (hit) the ball back and forth over a mid-court net. The players on each team try to volley the ball to the floor of their opponent’s court.
  • When serving one can stand anywhere behind the service line.
  • The serve comes from the “Right Back” position.
  • Each team gets three hits to get the ball across the net.
  • The desired hitting sequence to get the ball over the net is: pass (bump), set, hit (spike).
  • A volleyball match is the best of 5 games (a team must beat their opponent 3 out of 5 games).
  • Games are played to 25 points. You must win by at least 2 points
  • If a match goes to a 5th and deciding game, the game is played up to 15 points (win by 2).
  • In matches played with “Rally Scoring” (the way we play in class) a point is scored on every dead ball.
  • If the receiving team wins the rally they are rewarded a point and the serve.
  • There are 6 players allowed on the court at one time (for one team).
  • Their positions are: Right Back, Center Back, Left Back, Right Forward, Center Forward, Left Forward
  • When the ball is dead and needs to be given to your opponent, you must roll the ball underneath the net to the opposing team.
  • If the ball lands inside the lines or directly on the lines the ball is ruled inbounds. If the ball lands outside the lines it is ruled out of bounds.
  • An “ace” is when the serving team serves the ball and the ball falls to the floor on the opposing team’s side of the court.
  • The “let serve” is a ball that when served hits the net without touching the net antenna and continues across the net into the opposing team’s court. The “let serve” is a playable, live ball.
  • No player may hit the ball twice in a row, unless the first touch was made in blocking an opponent’s volley.
  • The ball can be legally hit with:
    1. Closed first – underhand hit only
    2. Open palm – underhand hit on serve only and overhand hits
    3. Forearm/wrist – underhand “bumping” movement
    4. Fingertips – overhand “setting” movement
  • It is illegal to hit the volleyball with:
    1. Underhand open palm (other than the serve) – “catch”
    2. Overhand “fling” or “carry”
    3. Overhand closed fist
  • Primary Foul Calls
1. Carries, catches and flings
2. Serving violations
3. Net violations
4. Illegal hits

I can...

-bump a volleyball with correct form.

​-set a volleyball with correct form.

-overhand serve a volleyball with correct form over the net and inbounds.

-underhand serve a volleyball with correct form over the net and inbounds.

Physical Education Class Rules:


- It is the serving team’s responsibility to announce the score before their serve. Failure to do so will result in: Loss of serve and a point will be rewarded to the opposing team.

- Team captains are solely responsible for making point and foul calls. Infractions of this will result in a loss of serve and a point will be rewarded to the opponent. If you cannot agree on a disputed call. Then “redo” the serve on the original volley.

- Team captains should call technical fouls for unsportsmanlike conduct by team players. The penalty for a technical foul call is a point award, plus the serve.
