History,Terminologies, Facilities and Equipment, Rules of the
Game, Safety Principles, and Basic/Advanced Skills
VOlleyball
game played by two teams, usually of six

players on a side, in which the players

use their hands to bat a ball back and

forth over a high net, trying to make the

ball touch the court within the opponents’

playing area before it can be returned.

history
Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William

G. Morgan, physical director of the Young

Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) in

Holyoke, Massachusetts. It was designed

as an indoor sport for businessmen who

found the new game of basketball too

vigorous.
history
Morgan called the sport “mintonette,” until

a professor from Springfield College in

Massachusetts noted the volleying nature

of play and proposed the name of

“volleyball.”
 local association
The Philippine Amateur Volleyball Association (PAVA) was
founded by the Playground and Recreation Bureau (PRB) of the
Philippines on July 4, 1961. It was renamed the Philippine Volleyball
Federation (PVF) in 2003. The PVF was the recognized sporting
body for volleyball until 2015, when recognition was transferred to
the Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas (LVPI), following a leadership
dispute in the PVF. The LVPI itself was succeeded by the Philippine
National Volleyball Federation (PNVF) in 2021.

The volleyball standards need to have

padding on them to protect yourself. If

COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR TEAM

Many volleyball injuries are the result of
colliding with a teammate. Call for the ball and
listen to your team to avoid this kind of injury.

CALL BALLS THAT ROLL ONTO THE

COURT
When practicing or when there are multiple
games going on in one location, balls can roll
onto the court. Make sure that you call them
out so that no one lands on the ball.

WEAR PROPER FOOTWEAR
Many injuries occur because of improper
footwear that does not provide adequate
support. You may also consider ankle braces
to avoid injuries that occur from landing on
someone’s foot (a common volleyball and
basketball injury).

STRETCH AND WARM UP

Many muscle injuries occur because the
muscles are cold and go from a resting state
to a maximum exertion state immediately.
Warming up and stretching will prevent injuries
and muscle soreness after the game.

FIRST AID CAN HELP

It is always a good idea to be prepared for
any kind of situation. A basic knowledge of
what to do for cuts, bruises, and sprains would
come in handy.
basic
fundamental
skills
serving
The serve is the first contact in a
volleyball game, and it's an
important opportunity to gain an
advantage over the opposing team.
It is a skill that every player must
master as it’s the first move that
can give your team momentum
and shut down your opponent’s
momentum.
serving
There are different types of serves,
such as the underhand serve, the
overhand serve, and the jump serve.
Some more advanced serves
include the floater and the topspin.
No matter which type of serve you
decide to do, the key to a good
serve is accuracy and consistency,
which requires practice to master.
passing
Also known as the bump, is used to
receive the ball from the opposing
team's serve or hit. The goal of passing
is to keep the ball in play and set up an
offensive play. To pass effectively, the
player should get in position, keep their
arms straight and feet parallel, extend
their knees forward, and make contact
with the ball using their forearms.
setting
Setting or overhead passing is
the most important step in an
offensive play as it determines
which player gets to spike or
attack. This is normally done by
the team’s setter and is the
second step in the pass-set-
spike sequence.
setting

The setter must have good

hand-eye coordination and the
ability to make quick decisions
to determine who to pass to.
setting
To set, the player should use
their fingertips and create a
triangle with their thumb and
fingers. Their hands should be
above their heads with their
fingers relaxed but steady, with
their knees and elbows slightly
bent.
attacking
Attacking, also known as hitting,
is the final step in the pass-set-
spike sequence and is used to
score points. There are a variety
of different ways to attack a
ball, but the most common and
consistently effective way to do
so is by spiking.
attacking
Spiking is a combination of
jumping with powerful arm
swings in order to smash the
ball onto the opponent’s side of
the court.
attacking
Cross-court spike: A cross-
court spike is an attack that
goes diagonally across the
court, from one corner to the
opposite corner. This type of
spike is often used to avoid the
opposing team's blockers and
to target an open area of the
court.
attacking
Line spike: A line spike is an
attack that goes straight down
the line ahead of the hitter,
either on the left or right side of
the court. This type of spike is
difficult to block, but also
difficult to land as it is treading
near the out-of-bounds line.
attacking
Tool spike: A tool spike is an
attack that intentionally hits off
the opposing team's blockers,
deflecting the ball out of
bounds. This type of spike is
often used when the opposing
team's blockers are positioned
close to the net and the
attacker has limited options.
attacking
To be a good spiker, the player
must have good timing,
jumping power, and overall
athleticism. To spike effectively,
the player should approach the
ball with a quick three-step
approach, jump high, and hit
the ball with force and
accuracy.
blocking
Blocking is a defensive skill used
to stop the opposing team's
attack and can also be used to
potentially score points.
blocking
Blockers must focus on
stopping the opposing team’s
offensive attacks, while also
paying attention to the
opposing setter so that they
can better predict the opposing
team’s attack strategy.
blocking
It is important for blockers to be
able to react to an attack
quickly and be in position
before the attack is completed.
digging
Digging is a defensive skill used
to save the ball from hitting the
ground. It is often done when
the ball does not come directly
at the player, and a standard
underhand pass would be
impossible or extremely difficult
to get.
digging
To get into a digging position,
the player must sink their hips
low to the floor with their heels
slightly raised in order to be
light on their feet. They must
then stretch out their arms into
the underhand pass position.
digging
Liberos are often the position
that digs the most as they are
the core of a team’s defense.
