Volleyball is also called according to the country volleyball, volleyball, volleyball, volleyball, or volleyball.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The players in volleyball have as their main objective to send the ball over the net and make it touch the ground of the area of \u200b\u200bthe court assigned to the opposing team.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Volleyball was originally a game similar to handball and basketball but less aggressive since there is no contact between the players. As there are no frictions, it is an ideal sport for all types of people.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The rules in volleyball have changed a bit since its inception but it is basically the same game.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Each team consists of 6 players who can be replaced with each other.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In addition, each team has 6 substitute players.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The alignment on the court must be composed of three players who are in front of the net and carry out attacks and the remaining 3 are behind and defend the balls that they receive from the other team.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The playing field is a rectangle 18 meters long by 9 meters wide, it is divided in half by a central net that separates the playing area of \u200b\u200bthe two teams.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Inside the court, there are two sidelines and two background lines that mark the court establishing the limits within which they must be played.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>The Ball<\/strong>\u00a0has to be propelled with accurate touches between the players as it cannot be caught, caught or stopped during the game. The ball must always circulate between the players as they score points. Basic rules of volleyball To get a point the players must push the ball with their hands over the net and that it touches the floor of the opponent\u2019s court area.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another way to score is if the ball touches the ground in your own court area, it is a point for the other team. If the ball falls outside the limits of the court due to a bad attack on the opposite side or by mistake when defending, it is a point for the opponent.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When the team produces three hits allowed and the ball failed to pass into the opponent\u2019s court, it is a point for the other team.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nor is it allowed by the rules that the same player hits the ball 2 times in a row.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Each team must rotate appropriately because otherwise when serving if the order of the team is not adequate, it is counted as a point for the other team.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If a player touches the net or the rods with his hands while trying to push the ball, it is a point for the opposing team.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">By winning a point that team has the right to serve again. If the service is not well executed by the player, the player loses the possibility of service and the other team is the one who performs the service. The team changes sides of the field of play at point 15.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You cannot invade or pass into the area of \u200b\u200bthe playing field that corresponds to the opposing team. Each team can make only 3 touches and then must push the ball over the net.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The ball can be hit with the hands and arms, but other parts of the body can also be used. Today you can win a point and serve in the same play before it was not allowed in the previous rules.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A match is made up of 3, 4, and 5 sets or partials. Currently, the team that wins 3 sets is the one who gets the game. Upon reaching 25 points, a team wins the set and must have an advantage of 2 points with respect to the other team, eg 25 to 23.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the event of a tie, points are continued to be scored until the difference of 2 points is reached. With this modality, the matches can last from less than 1 hour to more than 2.30 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In each finished set, there is a change of field side and the first serve is alternated. It is possible to request 2 rest times lasting 30 seconds in each set. In these times the coach gives instructions about the game and the moves to follow. But it also allows players to rest a bit if the intensity of the game is high. The coach is the one who asks for the rest time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The rest between each finished set is 3 minutes until the other set begins. A coach can make up to 6 player changes during the game, being able to do it individually or in pairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The game having legal rules is coordinated and controlled by the main referee who is sitting or standing on a platform next to one of the posts of the net. This referee marks the points, the violations, and the fouls committed by the players.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>The referee may penalize players with cards for fouls.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If the foul is serious, the player can be thrown off the court and he can no longer continue in the game. The warning is verbal or through a signal given by the referee warning of improper but slight behavior to the player. When the fault is more serious, the player is given a yellow card and if it is very serious, a red card is sent off from the game. In some cases, the yellow and red cards are taken from the player together. Also, if the coach has an inappropriate behavior, he can be sanctioned and sent off for which he must go to the penalty area and cannot intervene in the game until the end of the set. In general, the fouls are not serious, and aggressive or violent behavior is not common since there is no contact between players from the different teams. Volleyball helps people who practice it to develop skills such as greater agility, speed and reflexes, strength, and, above all, coordinated teamwork. Players often talk to their teammates while playing to give directions but also to encourage and motivate themselves during the game.
