Volleyball In Europe
Volleyball was introduced into Europe by American troops
during World War I, when national organizations were
formed.

The Fédération Internationale de Volley Ball (FIVB)

was organized in Paris in 1947 and moved to Lausanne, 
Switzerland, in 1984.

The USVBA (United States Volleyball Association) was

one of the 13 charter members of the FIVB, whose
membership grew to more than 210 member countries by the
late 20th century
Volleyball In ASIA
International volleyball competition began in 1913 with the
first Far East Games, in Manila. During the early 1900s
and continuing until after World War II, volleyball in Asia
was played on a larger court, with a lower net, and nine
players on a team.

The FIVB-sponsored world volleyball championships

(for men only in 1949; for both men and women in 1952
and succeeding years) led to acceptance of standardized
playing rules and officiating. Volleyball became an Olympic
sport for both men and women at the 1964 Olympic
Games in Tokyo.

a sand court with two players per team
—was introduced in California in 1930.
The first official beach volleyball
tournament was held in 1948 at Will Rogers
 State Beach, in Santa Monica, California,
- the first FIVB-sanctioned world
championship was held in 1986 at Rio de
Janeiro. Beach volleyball was added to the 
roster of the 1996 Olympic Games in
Atlanta, Georgia.
PHILOSPHY OF
VOLLEYBALL
Volleyball
is one of the world’s top sports – it has more
affiliated federations, larger TV viewing figures,
larger followers at social media, greater
numbers of registered and recreational
players, than almost any other sport, and an
image which is dynamic, clean and colorful,
combining highly competitive sport and high-
level show.
 Volleyball
William Morgan, the game’s creator, would still
recognize it because Volleyball has retained certain
distinctive and essential elements over the years.
Some of these it shares with other net/ball/
racquet games: – Service – Rotation (taking turns to
serve) – Attack – Defense – players able to play
at the net and in the back of the court. But the sport
has moved on. It is explosive, it is spectacular, it is
fast and free flowing, it has athletic players doing
sensational things on court in crowed venues.
Volleyball is both recreational and
competitive.
Recreational sport taps into the human spirit and
promotes “fun” and healthy life.

Competition allows people to exhibit the best of

ability, creativity, freedom of expression and fighting
spirit. The rules are designed and structured to allow
all of these facets to flourish.
The game (Facilities
and Equipment’s)
 PLAYING SURFACE

The surface must be flat, horizontal and

uniform. It must not present any danger of
injury to the players. It is forbidden to play on
rough or slippery surfaces.

For FIVB, World and Official Competitions, only a wooden or

synthetic surface is allowed. Any surface must be previously
approved by the FIVB.
 PLAYING SURFACE

Synthetic Wooden
Court Court
 LINES AND COURT
All lines are 5 cm wide. They must be of a light colour which is
different from the colour of the floor and from any other lines
Boundary lines
Two side lines and two end lines mark the playing court. Both side lines and
end lines are drawn inside the dimensions of the playing court.

Centre line
The axis of the centre line divides the playing court into two equal
courts measuring 9 x 9 m each; however the entire width of the line is
considered to belong to both courts equally. This line extends beneath the net
from side line to side line.

Attack line
On each court, an attack line, whose rear edge is drawn 3 m back from the axis
of the centre line, marks the front zone.
32’’ 80cm
 Height of the NET
Placed vertically over the centre line there is a net whose
top is set at the height of 2.43 m for men and 2.24 m for
women.

Its height is measured from the centre of the playing court. The net
height (over the two side lines) must be exactly the same and must not
exceed the official height by more than 2 cm.
 ANTENNAE

An antenna is a flexible rod, 1.80 m long and 10 mm in diameter, made of fiberglass or similar material.

An antenna is fastened at the outer edge of each side band. The antennae are placed on opposite sides of the net.

The top 80 cm of each antenna extends above the net and is marked with 10 cm stripes of contrasting colour, preferably red and white.

The antennae are considered as part of the net and laterally delimit the crossing space
 POST/POLE

The posts supporting the net are placed at a distance of 0.50-

1.00m outside the side lines.
They are 2.55 m high and preferably adjustable.
 STANDARD BALL
The ball shall be spherical, made of a flexible leather or
synthetic leather case with a bladder inside, made of rubber
or a similar material.
