Volleyball Test

We will be having a volleyball test on Friday December 9, 2013. The topics the test will be on is equipment, skills, returning the ball, Faults and penalties, most common faults, positions of the court, and referee gestures.

·       You need to know that there are two teams of six on either side of the net rallying a ball back and forth.

·      Object of the game is to hit the ball over the net so that it lands on the other teams side on the floor, in bound.

·      When the ball contacts the ground a point is scored for the team that made it hit the ground.

You will also need to know the end line, sideline, attack line, and centerline of a court. Some equipment you will need to know is a ball, kneepads, court shoes, and a net. Some skills you will need to know is serving overhand and underhand you can serve anywhere from behind the end line and the ball must be in bounds to play. For returning the ball you may use a forearm pass, set, spike, or tip a team is allowed three contracts before sending the ball over the net to the opponent.

For faults and Penalties officials make sure the game is played fairly. If you break a rule, you committed a fault. Most common fault are if you allow the ball to touch the floor, you hold or throw the ball, touch the ball twice in a row. Positions number 1 is always the serving position when you first line up on the court. Some referee gestures are point, rotation, end of game, and time out.
