LMULL M P,. � l bero: 5 CHEM ONE: Save Da I 3 II 7 In volleyball, your team has 6 players on the court III 4 at any give time. A team has 3 front row players and 3 back row `r players. T The court can be divided up into 6 areas or zones X 2 to help players understand court positioning and volleyball rotation. The three positions or areas on the back row are... • right back position (zone 1) • middle back position (zone 6) • left back position (zone 5) The three positions or areas on the front row are... • right front position (zone 2) • middle front position (zone 3) • left front position (zone 4) When a team wins a sideout (receiving team wins the rally), players rotate positions on the court clockwise. The player that was in the right front position is now the teams server. The volleyball court is surrounded by a free zone. The free zone is the area outside the court that players may enter to make a play on the ball. The free zone should be at least 3 meters wide from the court. The court boundary line is part of the court, so if the ball lands on the line, the ball is in. An antenna is placed on each side of the volleyball net. The antenna is lined up with the court boundary lines and marks the space where the ball must cross the net. If the ball doesn't cross the net within this crossing space (between the antennas), then the ball is out of play. The antenna marks an imaginary extension all the way up to the ceiling. When the ball crosses the net, the ball must be completely inside the antenna (on the court side). If any part of the ball crosses the net directly above or outside the antenna, the ball is out of play. If the ball hits the antenna or any of the netting, cables, volleyball pole or referee stand outside the antenna, the ball is out of play and opposing team wins the rally. Knowing volleyball rules for volleyball court dimensions helps games and matches run more smoothly. Placing the net to the appropriate net height and having correct court floor markings will keep matches from being delayed. It's a good idea for both competition hosts and referees to measure net height before teams even start the timed warm ups.
