 vollyball

Volleyball is played by two

teams with six players on
each side of the court. It can
be played either indoors or
outdoors. While beach
volleyball is played only by
2 players each team.net
 How did it
begin?
William G. Morgan who invented the game volleyball which he
originally called Mintonette. A Physical Director at the Young Men’s
Christian Association (YMCA) in Holyoke, Massachusetts. He then
thought how he could create a game as entertaining as but less vigorous
than basketball. So, he decided to adopt elements from different sports
such as tennis, handball, basketball, and baseball.
HOW DO YOU
PLAY IT?
 The game will continue until either team reaches 25 points and leads by
at least two points to win the game. Most games have five sets, so a team
must win three of the five sets to win the game. The last 5th set goes only
up to 15 points. And the team must lead by two points to win the game. In
a volleyball game, there are many ways for a team to score.

BASIC SKILLS
1. Passing- it is said to be the
most important skill in
volleyball. Passing is simply
tossing/passing the ball to the
other member of your team
after receiving it from the
opponent.
 2. Setting- a setter is said to
be the most important
position in the team for it
prepares the ball for an attack,
so that a teammate can spike
the ball towards the other
court.
 3. Spiking- is an essential
skill used as an attack move.
It is done through slamming
the ball in a downward
motion across the volleyball
net to the other team’s side of
the court. When executed
well, spiking is very difficult
to receive and return that
could help earn points
quickly.
 4. Blocking- it is also an
important skill because it
blocks the opponent’s attack,
thus, preventing them to earn
a point.
 5. Digging- is a defensive
skill that could save your
team from the offensive
attacks of the opponent. Your
job is to prevent the ball from
hitting the ground. You can do
this by diving and passing the
ball.
 6. Serving- Our final
fundamental skill is serving.
 Underhand serve - hold the
ball with your hand, make a
fist with your other hand,
thumb up, and hit the bottom
of the ball to send the ball
over the net.
 Overhead Serve - is
commonly used by skilled or
experienced volleyball
players. Throw the ball
upwards, pull the dominant
hand back and swing.
