1.  GIVE THE  TERMINOLOGIES IN VOLLEYBALL?

Ace: A serve that is not returned and results in a point.

Assist: Passing or setting the ball to a player who attacks the ball for a point.
Block: A defensive play, where a player deflects a spiked ball back into the opponent’s court by
jumping in front of the ball with their hands above the net.
Campfire: A ball that falls on the floor and is surrounded by two or more players. The moment
it hits the floor it looks like the players are encircling the ball and starting a campfire.
Cut Shot: An attack with angle, almost parallel to the net.
Dig: Passing a spiked or rapidly hit ball.
Dink: A legal pushing of the ball over the blockers.
Double Hit: When a player makes contact with the ball twice in a row. This is considered an
illegal hit.
Floater: A non-spinning serve, it can sometimes have erratic movement during flight.
Footfault: When a player steps over the line while serving, which results in a point for the
opposing team.
Jump Serve: A type of serve that is done by tossing the ball into the air, jumping, and hitting the
ball when it is in its downward motion.
Joust: When the ball is falling directly on top of the net, two opposing players will jump and
attempt to push the ball to the other side.
Kill: A successful hit that results in an immediate point.
Let: When a serve hits the top of the net and rolls onto the other side, resulting in a point.
Line shot: A ball that is spiked right down the opposing sideline.
Off-speed hit: A ball that is spiked with less force and has spin.
Power alley: A cross court spike that reaches the furthest end of the court.
Reception error: When a player is unable to return a serve that should have been returned, and
it results in an ace.
Roll shot: An offensive play similar to a spike, but a hitter will make contact underneath the ball
and move their arm upwards instead of swinging down. This type of shot is meant to go high
enough to avoid a block and is typically aimed around 10 feet away from the net.
Pancake: A type of dig that occurs when a player extends his or her hand flat on the floor, and
lets the ball bounce off the back of his or her hand.
Service error: An unsuccessful serve that occurs by the ball landing out of bounds, failing to
clear the net, or a foot fault from the server.

2. CITES A BASIC CONCEPTS OF VOLLEYBALL?

 Don’t Let the Ball Hit the Floor on Your Side of the Net
The primary objective in volleyball is make the ball hit the floor on the opponent’s side of the
court, while simultaneously preventing it from dropping on your side. Volleyball players go to
great lengths to keep the ball from hitting the court—and they have the scrapes and bruises to
prove it.

 Three Contacts/Hits per Side

Each team is allowed a maximum of three contacts before it must send the ball back over the net.
The preferred sequence is a dig (an underarm pass made with the forearms), followed by a set
(an overhead pass with the hands), and then an attack (overhead one-handed hit directed over the
net and towards the opponent).
Teams are also permitted to block the ball as it comes over the net. The resulting contact does
not count towards the three contacts per side. In theory, this means that a team could technically
contact the ball four times (with the first contact being a block) without penalty. In fact the
person who blocked the ball can immediately hit it a second time….counting as the team’s
FIRST hit.

 Players Must Rotate Clockwise

For our Volleyball games, between 3 and 6 players are allowed on the court. Players must rotate
clockwise. Teams rotate with each new server, and no person can serve more than once in
succession.

 No Player Can Hit the Ball Twice in Succession

The rules state that no player is allowed to hit the ball multiple times in row. While this principle
appears to be straightforward, it can get a little confusing: If the double contact occurs on a
team’s initial hit it is a legal play. However, the double becomes illegal if a player makes two
separate attempts to hit the ball. In other words, you may “double the ball” (volleyball slang for
hitting the ball twice) as long as it is on your team’s first contact and you made a single motion
to contact the ball.

 A Player May Not Cause the Ball to Come to a Rest During Contact
Volleyball can be categorized as a “rebound” sport because the rules prevent participants from
contacting the ball for a prolonged amount of time. Players are not allowed to carry, palm (lift)
or throw the ball.

 The Net is Off-Limits

No part of a player’s body or uniform is allowed to touch the net, but, participants are permitted
to play the ball out of the net during a volley and a serve. Your feet/body SHOULD NOT cross
the centerline under the net. Hands may cross the centerline above the net only after hitting or
blocking the ball.

3. GIVE AT LEAST 2 OLD RULES THAT CURRENTLY REVISED. 

1917
- Game changes from 21 points to 15 points per set.

1922
- Back-row players not permitted to spike.  Double hit rule introduced.  If score is 14 -14, two-
point advantage is needed to win. Two timeouts per set for each team introduced.

1964
- Reaching beyond net to block permitted and multiple block contacts allowed.

1992
- To encourage spectacular action, a player, beyond the free zone, can jump on the bench to
retrieve ball.
- At 16-16, in the tie-break system, play continues until one team has a two-point advantage to
win the set.

1998
- Coloured balls introduced to help players focus on ball and help television viewers locate and
follow ball.
- The "libero," a specialized defensive player, introduced to improve the "first pass" and
defensive "dig pass." Also helps in replacing back-zone players (principal attackers) generally
weak in defence.
- Coach can stand/move during rally and give instructions without taking timeout.
- Introduction of 25-point rally point system to sets one to four: Gives more emphasis for
perfection on various skills of the game, otherwise a point is lost and service is given to
opponents.  The system helps in scheduling the day’s matches, with the duration of a five-set
match generally limited to 90-110 minutes.
- Change of chest number size at the back to 20 cm x 2 cm, helps not only the scorer to check the
next server on rotation, but also helps media and television to capture the player number for
statistical analysis.

- Removal of service attempt helps in reducing the duration of match as every player invariably
delays the service taking undue advantage of "service-attempt," which involved in total 5+3
seconds.

1999
- Service duration is increased to 8 seconds.

2000
- Libero can neither be team captain nor game captain.
- Service ball can touch the top of the net and cross the net giving continuity to the game.

2001
- "Exceptional substitution" introduced in order to help those players seriously injured who
cannot play the rest of the match. Not counted as regular substitution.

2005
- Centre line width considered to belong to both courts equally.
- Assistant scorer is introduced as rule number 26. Mainly keeps control over libero
replacements.

2006
- Coach restriction line is introduced to limit coaches’ movements beyond playing court.

2007
- Rule 9.1.2.3 revised as follows: "If simultaneous hits by opponents over the net leads to
extended contact of the ball, play continues." Helps continuity of the play instead of double
fault. 

2008
- New ball introduced for the first time at the Olympic Games with complete new design, two
colours and a complete new panel design. New ball has only 8 panels.
- For FIVB and world events for senior teams there is the possibility introduced, within the
Specific Sports Regulations, of up to 14 players being nominated for the final team roster. Where
a team chooses to register more than 12 players, it is mandatory to register two liberos: the coach
may for any reason exchange the original libero with the reserve libero – but only once in the
match.
- Quick substitutions system implemented.
- Net fault: only hitting the top band of the net or taking support from the net classed as
interfering with play. Contact with the opponent’s court with any part of the body above the feet
also permitted, in conjunction with the net rule. This extends current centre line rule. But if the
contact interferes with an opponent physically, or with the opponent’s ability to play the ball,
then it would be considered a fault.
