Introduction

Team sports are when one group, or team, plays against another group,
or team, in a competition. The team member’s work together to achieve a common
goal. This differs from individual sports, where one individual competes against
another, such as in track and field, badminton, swimming, and wrestling.

Volleyball is a sport played by two teams on a playing court divided by a

net. There are different versions available for specific circumstances in order to offer
the versatility of the game to everyone. he object of the game is to send the ball
over the net in order to ground it on the opponent’s court, and to prevent the same effort
by the opponent. The team has three hits for returning the ball (in addition to the block
contact). The ball is put in play with a service: hit by the server over the net to the
opponents. The rally continues until the ball is grounded on the playing court, goes “out”
or a team fails to return it properly. In Volleyball, the team winning a rally scores a
point (Rally Point System). When the receiving team wins a rally, it gains a point and
the right to serve, and its players rotate one position clockwise.

In this course you will be taking an in depth look at some team sports, and even
practicing some of the basic sports skills. This lesson will give you a general over view
of a variety of team sports Volleyball.

 PREFACE

Team sports, by their very nature, bring people together to work toward a
common goal. They foster collaboration, communication, and a sense of camaraderie,
while challenging individuals to push their limits both physically and mentally. Among
these team sports, volleyball stands out as a dynamic, fast-paced game that requires
both strategic thinking and physical skill.

Played by two teams, volleyball combines the excitement of athleticism with the
precision of teamwork. Whether played on sand or a court, the sport demands players
to react quickly, coordinate seamlessly with their teammates, and remain adaptable in
ever-changing game situations.

Volleyball isn't just about scoring points; it's about building trust, overcoming
challenges together, and celebrating the collective achievement of the team. Through
each pass, set, and spike, players learn the true meaning of unity and resilience in the
world of competitive sports.

LESSON 1 – OVERVIEW

Volleyball is a fast-paced team sport played by two teams of six players each, divided
by a net. The objective of the game is to score points by sending the ball over the net
and into the opponent's court, while preventing the opponent from doing the same. The
team that wins a rally scores a point, and the first team to reach a certain number of
points wins a set. Matches are typically played in a best-of-five set format, with the first
team to win three sets declared the winner.

Key Aspects of Volleyball:

1. The Court:
o The standard volleyball court is 18 meters long and 9 meters wide, split
into two equal halves by a net.
o The net height varies depending on gender and competition level (e.g.,
men's net height is around 2.43 meters, and women's net height is 2.24
meters.
2. The Game:
o The game begins with a serve where a player hits the ball over the net to
the opposing team.
o The receiving team can touch the ball a maximum of three times before
sending it back to the other side. Players can use their hands, forearms, or
even parts of their body to pass, set, or spike the ball.
o The ball must not touch the ground on the team's side, and it is considered
a violation if a player holds, carries, or touches the net.
3. Positions:
o The six players on the court include three in the front row (close to the
net) and three in the back row (further from the net).
o The key positions are:
▪ Outside hitter: Primary attackers and defenders.
▪ Setter: The playmaker who sets up the ball for attacks.
▪ Libero: A specialized defensive player who cannot attack the ball
above the net.
▪ Middle blocker: Positioned at the net to block attacks from the
opposition.
▪ Opposite hitter: Plays opposite the setter and often leads in
offensive plays.
4. Scoring:
o Points are earned when the ball lands in the opponent’s court or if the
opponent commits a fault (e.g., net violations or out-of-bounds hits).
o In most modern volleyball, rally scoring is used, where every rally results
in a point for one of the teams, as opposed to the older side-out scoring,
where only the serving team could score.
o Games are usually played to 25 points, but the final set (if necessary) may
go to 15 points.
5. Basic Skills:

Page 1
 oPassing: Using forearms to pass a ball accurately to a teammate.
oSetting: Using fingertips to accurately deliver the ball to an attacker for a
spike.
o Spiking: A strong, downward hit aimed to score a point.
o Blocking: A defensive move to prevent or deflect a spike from the
opposing team.
6. International Play & Variants:
o Indoor Volleyball is played professionally in arenas and is one of the
most popular team sports worldwide.
o Beach Volleyball is a variation typically played on sand courts, often with
teams of two players per side.
o Volleyball is a prominent sport in the Olympic Games, with both men’s
and women’s competitions.
7. Team Dynamics:
o Volleyball requires strong teamwork, with players needing to communicate
effectively and be coordinated both offensively and defensively.
o Since the game is fast-paced, each player must be ready to adapt and
react quickly to changes in the play.

Overall, volleyball is a dynamic, team-oriented sport that emphasizes athleticism,

strategy, and communication, making it popular in schools, clubs, and professional
leagues worldwide.

LESSON 2 – Volleyball Introduction

A HISTORY:
The game of volleyball, originally called “mintonette”, was invented in 1895 by William G.
Morgan at Holyoke Massachusetts, after the invention of basketball by only 4 years. Morgan, a
graduate of the Springfield College of the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA), designed
the game to be a combination of basketball, baseball, tennis and handball.
The first volleyball net, borrowed from tennis, was only 6’6″ high (though you need to
remember that the average American was shorter in the 19th century).
The offensive style of setting and spiking was first demonstrated in the Philippines in
1916. Over the years that followed, it became clear that standard rules were needed for
tournament play, and thus the USVBA (United States Volleyball Association) was formed in
1928.
On 1896, Alfred T. Halstead changed mintonette to volleyball.

B. TIMELINE OF SIGNIFICANT VOLLEYBALL EVENTS.

In 1900, a special ball was designed for the sport.

In 1916, in the Philippines, an offensive style of passing the ball in a high trajectory to be struck
by another player (the set and spike) were introduced.
In 1917, the game was changed from 21 to 15 points.
In 1920, three hits per side and back row attack rules were instituted.
In 1922, the first YMCA national championships were held in Brooklyn, NY. 27 teams from 11
states were represented.
In 1928, it became clear that tournaments and rules were needed, the United States Volleyball
Association (USVBA, now USA Volleyball) was formed. The first U.S. Open was staged, as the
field was open to non-YMCA squads.
In 1930, the first two-man beach game was played.
In 1934, the approval and recognition of national volleyball referees.
In 1937, at the AAU convention in Boston, action was taken to recognize the U.S. Volleyball
Association as the official national governing body in the U.S.
In 1947, the Federation Internationale De Volley-Ball (FIVB) was founded.
In 1948, the first two-man beach tournament was held.
In 1949, the initial World Championships were held in Prague, Czechoslovakia.
In 1964, Volleyball was introduced to the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
In 1965, the California Beach Volleyball Association (CBVA) was formed.
In 1974, the World Championships in Mexico were telecast in Japan.
In 1975, the US National Women’s team began a year-round training regime in Pasadena,
Texas (moved to Colorado Springs in 1979, Coto de Caza and Fountain Valley, CA in 1980, and
San Diego, CA in 1985).
In 1977, the US National Men’s team began a year-round training regime in Dayton, Ohio
(moved to San Diego, CA in 1981).
In 1983, the Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) was formed.
In 1984, the US won their first medals at the Olympics in Los Angeles. The Men won the Gold,
and the Women the Silver.
In 1986, the Women’s Professional Volleyball Association (WPVA) was formed.
In 1988, the US Men repeated the Gold in the Olympics in Korea.
In 1990, the World League was created.
In 1995, the sport of Volleyball was 100 years old!
In 1996, 2-person beach volleyball will be an Olympic Sport.

C) THE GAME:

VOLLEYBALL is a sport played by two teams on a playing court divided by a net.

There are different versions available for specific circumstances in order to offer the versatility of
the game to everyone. The ball put in play with a service hit by the server over the net to the
opponents. The rally continues until the ball is grounded on the playing court goes out or a team
fails to return it properly. In volleyball, the team winning a rally scores a point (Rally Point
System). When the receiving team wins a rally, it gains a point and the right to serve, and its
player rotate one position clockwise. The team has three hits for returning the ball.

C.1 OBJECTIVE OF THE GAME

The objective of the game is for each team to send the ball over the net to ground it on
the opponent court and to prevent the ball from being grounded on its own court.

D) KEY CONCEPTS IN VOLLEYBALL

D.1 VOLLEYBALL IS A PERIMETER GAME

A volleyball court appears to be small for the number of players on it but it will get too
crowded if players do not play their positions. Volleyball is played from the perimeter inwards.
This system increases the amount of time the player has to see the ball and prepare to move, it
prevents players from “intercepting” balls that would be better played elsewhere and it enables a
greater area of the court to be covered in defense. This fundamental concept should be
incorporated in the teaching strategy from the outset.

D.2 VOLLEYBALL IS A MOVEMENT GAME

A player should never be still during a game. They have to adjust to wherever the ball is
and whoever is playing it. By playing a perimeter game players will have to move in to play a
ball and adjust their positioning so that they face the new direction in which the ball is to be
passed. It is important that practices incorporate movement to play the ball and to change the
direction of the pass.

E. FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT

E.1 COURT - The playing court is a rectangle measuring 18 m x 9 m surrounded

by a free zone which is a minimum of 3m wide on all side. 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.

In volleyball, a meatball is basically any ball that's served in the middle of the
court and is easy to pass.

LESSON 3 – Training and Drills ( Warm Up, Stretching and Cooldown)

A good warm up pre-workout is something most people skip, but science says you
should make time for it. If rolling your ankle or tweaking your shoulder is not your goal,
stretching your muscles and joints can make a big difference in injury prevention and sports
performance.

Warm – Up
It is very important to perform a proper warm up before any type of physical activity. The
purpose of a warm up is to prevent injury by increasing the body’s core and muscle
temperature. Warm muscles increase the rate of energy production which increases reflexes
and lowers the time it takes to contract a muscle.

Stretching
Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to
maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then,
when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That
puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.

Routine Warm-up, Stretching and Cool Down exercises

A. warm-up for cardio

1. Jumping Jacks for 10 sec. 3. Jogging in place for 30 sec.
2. Step sideward back and forth for 10 sec. 4. High knee jog for 10 sec.

B. To stretch safely, do the following static stretching guide:

• Try to hold each stretch for 10 seconds.
• Do not bounce while stretching.
• Stretch slowly to the point of tension; you should never feel pain.
• Focus on your breathing while stretching.
• Select stretches that work all major muscle groups.

LESSON 6 - Volleyball Setting/Tossing – is an overhand or forearm contact of the
ball, usually the second contact in a rally, made after a pass in serve receive or after a
dig in defense to redirect the ball to a hitter in the front row or back row by a setter to
run the team offense.

I. OVERVIEW

The pass is the first touch by the team. Basically, you perform a passing skill on any ball
that has been sent over the net to your team’s side of the court. The pass in volleyball is known
as a "bump" or a "forearm pass" because it is performed using the forearms to bump the ball.

II. OBJECTIVES

After successful completion of this module, students should be able to:

1. Follow the sequence in executing forearm pass skill

2. Demonstrate basic arm and body position for forearm pass
3. Make contact with the volleyball by using the inside of their forearms
4. Bend their knees so that they are lower than the level of contact and not swing their
arms to hit the volleyball, but instead meet the ball with their arms
5. Control and pass volleyball while stationary and moving
6. Execute with confidence the familiarization and ball control exercises.
7. Appreciate the skills learned

III. COURSE CONTENT

Materials needed: Volleyball ball or similar / improvise materials.

A. Activity 1: Always start the session with the routine warm-up, stretching and dynamic warm-
up that discussed last session. You have 10 minutes to do it.

B. Activity 2: Familiarization with the ball

1. Ball dribbling with right hand while walking forward and going back to your starting position.
2. Ball dribbling with left hand while walking forward and going back to your starting position.
3. Ball dribbling with both hands in front while walking forward and going back to your starting
position.
4. Throwing and catching the ball in front of your body with your both hands (at least 3 meters
high) 10 times.

Page 24
A.Forearm Tossing/Passing

1. Hand position

Make a fist with one hand. The other hand goes

around the fist, with the thumbs on top. The thumbs
must be side by side on the top

2. Forearm position

The forearms are made into a flat platform, positioned ready for the ball to come into
contact. The arms are not necessarily swung when passing. Swinging the arms will result in a
less controlled pass.

3. Proper Stance (Feet, Knees, Legs)

A player will position her body in an athletic

stance, or we call this as "ready position. "Feet are just
outside the shoulders, with knees slightly bent in a
loaded position so it is easy to move right, left front or
backwards to get to where the ball has been served.

C. Activity 3 Ball control using Forearm Passing

1. Passing to yourself

Using the preparatory stance in forearm passing that you learn, practice your passing
skills with this helpful drill. Get into passing position and throw the ball straight up in the air to
yourself and use your forearm passing position on contacting the ball. Keep the ball from hitting
the ground. To work on maintaining control, try to keep your feet stationary. Always look on the
ball while doing the proper stance and keep your platform in a shoulder level position. Do this
several time until you control the ball 10 times without hitting the ground continuously.

Lesson 7 - Volleyball Spiking/Attack

B. Attack or SPIKE – the offensive act of hitting the ball of volleyball. An

offensive play which tries to hit the ball to end a play and ultimately earn a point
for the team.

Page 30
I. OVERVIEW

Spiking is a form of attacking and a very popular offensive move used in volleyball. It is
the act of jumping and hitting the ball down into the opponent's court, which hopefully results in
a "kill". There are various types of hits - the outside, middle, and back hits based on who the
hitter is.

II. OBJECTIVES

After successful completion of this module, students should be able to:

1. Apply the right techniques of spike

2. Follow the sequence in executing volleyball spike
3. Demonstrate the basic skill of hitting (spike)
4. Exhibit correct body position and movement in spiking
5. Enumerate the basic rules in executing spike
6. Execute with confidence the familiarization and spiking exercises.
7. Appreciate the skills learned

III. COURSE CONTENT

Materials needed: Volleyball or similar / improvise materials.

a. Activity 1: Always start the session with the routine warm-up. You have 10 minutes to do
it.
b. Activity 2: Spike the ball

The Sequence

(1) (2) (3) (4)

Page 31
 (5) (6) (7) (8) (9)

▪ Get into position and Assume the correct stance. Face the ball
and bend your knees so you are ready to move. If you are right-handed, your left foot
should be set back from your right foot. If you are left-handed, your right foot should be set
back from your left foot.
▪ Take your first step toward the ball. Take a strong first step with
your left foot in the direction of the ball. If you are left-handed, do the reverse.
▪ Take a second powerful step. Step with your right foot to build
speed (if you are left-handed, it will be your left foot). At the same time, swing your arms
back behind you to prepare for the strike. The distance of this second step will vary
according to the position of the ball. If the ball is closer to you, you will take a short step; if
it is further from you, take a longer step.
▪ Take a final step to square your feet. Step again with your left foot
(or your right if you are left-handed) and end with your feet shoulder width apart and your
knees bent. Your arms should be swung back behind you.
▪ Jump as the ball falls into position. Jump explosively upward and
swing your arms forward at the same time to jump high into the air. The higher you jump,
the more powerful your strike will be.
• As you reach the height of your jump, your arms should swing above your head and hit the
ball with the center of your hand.
• Bend your knees when your feet hit the ground to help you regain balance and avoid an
ankle injury.

LESSON 8 – BLOCKING

Blocking is a defensive skill used to stop the opposing team's attack and can also be used to
potentially score points. Blockers must focus on stopping the opposing team’s offensive attacks,
while also paying attention to the opposing setter so that they can better predict the opposing
team’s attack strategy. It is important for blockers to be able to react to an attack quickly and be
in position before the attack is completed.

TYPES OF BLOCK

1.Offensive Block - It is an agressive Block whose goal is to return the ball to the
opposing team’s court, making it touch the floor.

2.Defensive Block - It is a Block whose goal is to damp the hit from the adversary’s
Attack and make the defense action of the team easier.

3.Single Block - It is the Block performed by only one blocker, usually used to Block
attacks at the center of the net.

4.Double Block - It is the Block performed by two blockers, usually used to Block
attacks at the sides of the net.

5.Triple Block - It is the Block performed by three blockers, widely used to block
attacks following a Set that is high and slow.

Page 35
Digging - is a defensive skill used to save the ball from hitting the ground. It is often
done when the ball does not come directly at the player, and a standard underhand
pass would be impossible or extremely difficult to get. To get into a digging position, the
player must sink their hips low to the floor with their heels slightly raised in order to be
light on their feet.

LESSON 9 - OFFICIAL OF THE GAME VOLLEYBALL
Week: 16-18 of 18 Second Semester

A. Overview

As in most sporting competitions, volleyball employs referees in order to control the flow
of the game and enforce the rules. The volleyball official team includes the first referee, the
second referee, the scorer and two line judges. Without the referee team, the fast-paced game
could easily get out of hand if disputes regarding rules were to arise.

Scorers

The official scorer keeps track of the score throughout the volleyball game. Before the
game begins the scorer notes the starting lineup of each team and notifies the referees

Line Judges

At least two, and as many as four, line judges monitor each game. The line judges stand
at the corners of the court watching the lines to indicate whether a ball in play falls in or out of
the court.

If a server steps on the line during a serve, the line judge watching the given line
notifies the referees using a flag. When a player touches an out-of-play ball or if the ball hits an
antenna, the designated line judge also indicates the interference.

First Referee

The first referee stands on the referee stand and controls the play of the entire game.
Whatever issues arise during the game, the first referee determines the call and has the final
say. After making a call, no player or other referee can argue the call, although a formal protest
can be placed with the scorer.

Before the match begins, the first referee inspects the equipment and the players’
uniforms. The warm-ups and the coin toss also fall under the jurisdiction of the first referee.

Throughout the match, the first referee makes calls regarding faults and scoring
issues. Following the match, the first referee notes the score and signs the official score sheets.

Second Referee

The second referee works to assist the first referee throughout the game.

The second referee stands next to the post opposite the first referee. In addition to
assisting the first referee with determining faults throughout the game, the second referee is in
charge of all substitutions, timeouts and the actions of the scorer/table officials.
