Basic
principle
1. Don’t let the ball hit the floor on your side of
the net
The primary objective in volleyball is make the
ball hit the floor on the opponent’s side of the
court, while simultaneously preventing it from
dropping on your side.
2. Three contacts/hits per side
Each team is allowed a maximum of three
contacts before it must send the ball back over
the net.
Basic
principle
3. Players must rotate clockwise

4. NO player can hit the ball twice in

succession

5. A player may not cause the ball to come to

a rest during contact.

6. The net is off-limits.

Player positions
setter
The setter is the main contributor
to the offense of the volleyball
team. One of the requirements of
the setter is having a delicate
touch to set the ball perfectly for
one of the attacking players.
Middle blocker
Their main role for the team is
being the first line of defense
against the opposing team's hits.
The middle blocker needs to read
the other team's attackers to
quickly raise his or her arms
above the net in a blocking
attempt. However, this is not a
defense-only position.
Outside hitter
The outside hitter must be
the player who hits and
blocks on the front left side
of the court. In defense,
their role is to support the
blocking of an opponent's
shot from where the ball
crosses the net.
Right-side hitter
An opposite hitter, also know as a
right-side hitter, is considered the
most versatile because they can
excel on offense and defense.
They will not only hit the ball from
the front and back row but also
dig for quick attacks and set the
ball if the setter is unable to do it.
libero
A libero in indoor volleyball is a
back-row defensive specialist.
Since they only play in the back
row, those players are often
shorter than the front-row
blockers and hitters but have
impeccable ball-control skills.

a rally, they score a point.
• When the receiving team wins a rally, they
gain a point and the right to serve.
