Volleyball
Game idea:
Two teams face each other on the volleyball court and play the ball over the net so that it falls to the ground in the opponent's court.
Scoring points:
A point is scored when the ball lands in the opponent's court or the opposing team is unable to return the ball in accordance with the rules.
Playing field:
Volleyball court (9 x 18m) divided in the centre with a net. Net height 2.00m to 2.42m depending on category.
Number of participants:
6 against 6.
Rules of the game:
The serve is executed behind the baseline by the team that won the last point or has the right to serve and must be hit directly over the net to the other side. If the ball is in play, the team in possession of the ball has the right to hit the ball three times (plus block contact) to return the ball to the opponent's half of the court. The ball may not be caught or guided and may not be touched twice in succession by a single player. The ball may be played with any part of the body (exception: at the face-off). The net may not be touched by the players at the upper white band. The move continues until the ball touches the ground, goes out of bounds or a team fails to return it properly.
If the right to play is regained by scoring a point, the players change positions in a clockwise direction. A set goes to 25 points with a difference of at least 2 points, otherwise the game continues until a 2-point lead has been established. If a team can win 3 sets, the game is won.
