Volleyball involves six players in two teams. Teams often try to defend against attacks and set an attack. One team can win the game by two clear points. Points are scored by a hit, pass, or set. Games typically last between three and five sets. If the play level is high, games may last longer.
A line known as the attack line divides the volleyball court into two equal areas, or zones. One half of the court is considered the "weak" side. This side is for right-handed spikers. The other half is for lefty spikers.
Each player on a team has a designated position. The front-row is made up of three players and the back-row three. The front-row jumps in front the other spiker when a spiker touches the ball. To intercept a spiked basketball, players may also utilize the "A", B," C," D," or Pipe.
To serve, a player must stand behind the service line, which is usually 3 metres long and is located between the end line and the baseline. Volleyball servers can serve either overhand or belowhand. Serving overhand gives the serving team better chances of winning a point. The service area was increased to 9m in 1996 Olympics.
Volleyball rules say that a player cannot block the ball being served. Also, the server can't step on the service line until after he or she has struck the ball.
A player can hit a ball as many as three times per game after his first hit. A foul is when a player hits the ball more than once in a row. According to the volleyball rules, no player may hit the ball more than two times in a row.
On an attack, a back-row player hits the ball from behind the attack line, which is a line that separates the attack and back-row positions. The back-row player is not allowed to block or hit the ball above the net. It is also against the rules for back-row players to attack the ball while it is on the attack line.
A serve is when a back-rower hits the spiked ball above the net. The ball can then drop into the opposite half of the court. It is considered out of play if the ball lands on the wall or on the antennae.
The volleyball game is over once there has been a point. The offensive team will score if a defense error is committed. The opponent will score if the defense makes an error.
After the point, the players will be rotated around the playing court. A maximum of six players can be on the court at any time. All team rotations must take place clockwise. Three players are in the front row, and three are in the back. There are only two time-outs allowed per set.
FAQ
Do I need to eat before going to the gym?
No. It doesn't matter what you eat before going to the gym. If you feel hungry after working out, it is a good idea to have a light snack like yogurt or fruit.
How many hours of sleep should I get every night?
The recommended amount of sleep varies depending on age, gender, and individual needs. Most adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep per day. Children and teens typically need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep each night. However, this number drops as they get older.
Does exercise cause me to gain weight?
Not at all. Exercise can actually help you maintain your weight. Regular exercise will help you build muscle and boost your metabolism. This will allow you to burn more calories every day. This means that you won't store so much fat.
What effects does caffeine have on my sleep patterns?
Caffeine affects how long it takes you to fall asleep and how soundly you sleep. Caffeine induces drowsiness which makes it easier to fall asleep. Caffeine keeps you awake for longer periods of time, making it difficult to fall asleep again. Try drinking energy drinks and coffee before bed.
Do I need heat before exercising?
Warming up before you start an activity will reduce muscle soreness. Warming up can be done in many ways: running, walking, jumping ropes, stretching and cycling are all options. Start slowly and gradually increase your pace and intensity.
