Rules
Volley Ball is a new game which is pre-eminently
fitted for gymnasium or exercise hall, but which may
be played out of doors. Any number of person may
play the game. The play consists of keeping a ball in
motion over a high net, from one side to the other,
 thus partaking of the character of two games –
tennis and hand ball.
Play is started by a player on one side serving the ball
over the net into opponents’ field or court. The
opponents then, without allowing the ball to strike the
floor, return it and or it hits the floor. This counts a
“score” for one side or a “server out” for the other,
depending upon the side in point. The game consists
of nine innings, each side serving a number of
times, as per rules, in each inning.
1. GAME. The game consists
ofnine innings.
 2. INNING. An inning
consists of: whenone
person is playing on each
side, one service each side;
when two are playing on
each side, two services
each side; when three or
more are playing on each side,
three services each side. The
man serving continues to do
so until out by failure of his
 side to return the ball. Each man shall serve
in turn.
3. Court
The court or floor space shall be twenty-five feet wide and
fifty feet long, to be divided into two square courts, twenty-
five by twenty- five feet, by the net. Four feet from the net on
both side and parallel with it shall be a line across the court,
the Dribbling line. The boundary lines must be plainly marked
so as to be visible from all parts of the court. Note: The exact
size of the court may be changed to suit the convenienoce of
the place.
 4. Net
The net shall be at least
two feet wide and
twenty-seven feet long,
and shall be suspended
from uprights placed at
least one foot outside
the side lines. The top
 line of the net must be six feet six
inches from the floor.
The ball shall be a rubber

5. Ball bladder covered with leather or canvas.

It shall measure not less than twenty-five
inches, or more than twenty-seven inches in
circumference, and shall less than nine
ounces nor more than twelve
 6. Server andounces.
Service
The server shall stand with one foot on the back line. The ball
must be batted with the hand. Two services or trials are
allowed him to place the ball in the opponent's court (as in tennis). The
server may serve into the opponents' court at any place. In a service, the
ball must be batted at least ten feet, no dribbling allowed. A service which
would strike the net, but which is struck by another of the same side
before striking the net, if it goes over into the opponent's court, is good,
but if it should go outside, the server has no second trial.
 7. SCORING
Each good service unreturned or
ball in play unreturned by the side receiving counts one
score for the side serving. A side only scores when serving, as
a failure to return the ball in their part results in the server
being put out.
8. Net Ball
A play which hits the net, aside from first service, is called
a net ball, and is equivalent to a failure to return, counting
for the opposite side. The ball hitting the net on first
service shall be called dead, and counts as a trial.
 IT IS A BALL STRIKING THE
BOUNDARY LINE. IT IS
EQUIVALENT TO ONE OUT OF
COURT , AND COUNTS AS SUCH.
9. LINE BALL
 10. Play and Player
Any number may play that is convenient to the place. A player should be able to cover
about ten by ten feet. Should any player during play touch the net, it puts the ball out
of play and counts against his side. Should any player catch or hold for an instant the
ball, it is out of play and counts for the opposite side. Should the ball strike any object
other than the floor and bound back into play, it is still in play. To dribble the ball is to
carry it all the time, keeping it bouncing. When dribbling the ball no player shall cross
the dribbling line, this putting the ball out of play and counting against him. Any player
except the captain, addressing the umpire or casting any slurring remarks at him or any
of the players on the opposite side, may be disqualified and his side be compelled to
play the game without him or a substitute, or forfeit the same.
