The volleyball net is one meter wide and is placed in the center of the court running sideline to sideline. For men's volleyball competition, the height of the net measures 2.43 meters (about 7 feet, 11 5/8 inches) from the court ground at the center. For women's volleyball competition, the net is placed at the height of 2.24 meters (about 7 feet, 4' /a inches). The volleyball court can be divided into areas or zones. The following volleyball court diagram shows volleyball court dimensions with the zones of the court. One of the main features of the volleyball court is a 3 meter line parallel to the net on each side of the court. This line is also referred to as the attack line or 10 foot line. This attack line divides the court into back row and front row areas. The main purpose of the attack line is to mark where back row players can attack the ball. There is an imaginary attack line extending outside the court across the free zone.
