Rules of the game
The court
The game is played on a volleyball court 18 meters (59 feet) long and 9 meters (29.5 feet) wide, divided into two 9 m × 9 m halves by a one-meter (40-inch) wide net placed so that the top of the net is 2.43 meters (7 feet 11 5/8 inches) above the center of the court for men's competition, and 2.24 meters (7 feet 4 1/8 inches) for women's competition (these heights are varied for veterans and junior competitions).
There is a line 3 meters from and parallel to the net in each team court which is considered the "attack line". This "3 meter" (or 10 foot) line divides the court into "back row" and "front row" areas (also back court and front court). These are in turn divided into 3 areas each: these are numbered as follows, starting from area "1", which is the position of the serving player:
After a team gains the serve (also known as siding out), its members must rotate in a clockwise direction, with the player previously in area "2" moving to area "1" and so on, with the player from area "1" moving to area "6".
The team courts are surrounded by an area called the free zone which is a minimum of 3 meters wide and which the players may enter and play within after the service of the ball. All lines denoting the boundaries of the team court and the attack zone are drawn or painted within the dimensions of the area and are therefore a part of the court or zone. If a ball comes in contact with the line, the ball is considered to be "in". An antenna is placed on each side of the net perpendicular to the sideline and is a vertical extension of the side boundary of the court. A ball passing over the net must pass completely between the antennae (or their theoretical extensions to the ceiling) without contacting them.

Common Strategies for Scoring Points
- A good strategy for serving would be to serve the ball in such a way that it would be difficult for the other team to return the ball back over the net.
- Each team is allowed 3 hits before the ball has to be returned over the net. A good strategy would be to play the ball to your teammates in such a manner tomake the 3rd hit difficult for the opponent to play. Most teams try to utilize volleyball strategies to bump, set, then spike the ball into the opponent’s courts.
- Each team consists of 3 front line players and 3 back line players. The front line players may jump at the net and hit the ball. This strategy is called attacking.
- The front line players may also reach above the net and try blocking the ball coming from the other side.

The net is 1 meter (3 ft.) and 9.5 meters (32 ft.) long when stretched. The net is attached to upright standards that are 1 meter (3 ft.) outside the court. The standards may be padded to a maximum height of 5 and half feet. Front and sides of the referees platform must be padded, same as the standards.
Net Antennas
Antennas are attached to the net inline with the outside edge of the sideline. Antennas extend upward at least 2 and half feet but no more than 3 and a half feet above the net. Antennas should be fasten securely to the bottom and top of the net. The antennas should be made of unbreakable material.
