1.The standard volleyball is made of leather or synthetic leather, weighs between 9 and 10 ounces and has a
circumference of 25.6 to 26.4 inches. The ball has a rubber bladder and can be one color or a combination of
colors. Synthetic leather is lighter and is fine for beginner players. Junior volleyballs for children 12 years old
and younger weigh between 7 and 8 ounces.
They created a ball in 1900 consisting of three layers. The first was a latex bladder made from material like a
bicycle tire, the second was a cheesecloth material around the bladder, and the third was a leather outer layer.
2. The outdoor volleyball court measures 18 x 9 m, surrounded by a free zone that is 2 meters wide on all
sides.The minimum playing space for U.S. volleyball competitions is 7 meters. The volleyball net is 32 feet
long by 3feet wide. For women, the net should be 7 feet, 4 1/8 inches high. For men, the net should be 7 feet, 11
5/8inches high. U.S. regulation volleyball playing surfaces must be flat and not present any hazards to the
players.
3. The playing court is marked by two sidelines and two end lines. All lines must be 2 inches wide and must be
created with a light color that is easy to discern from the playing court. An attack line should be placed three
meters from the center line. The center line divides the court into two 9 x 9 meter courts.
Baseline
The baseline is also called the endline. This is the line at the end of the court.
Centerline
The centerline is the line that runs underneath the net. This line is the width of the court and divides the
volleyball court into two equal halves
Sidelines
The sidelines are the boundary lines on the sides of the court that connect to the baselines. The sidelines are 60
feet long.
The Attack line
is the line that separates the front court(the area near the net) and the back court(the area between the attack line
and end line
4. The volleyball net structure is held together with metal cables and posts. Posts are placed 0.5 to 1.0 meter
outside the sidelines and 2.55 meters high. Posts should be round, smooth and padded, to prevent injury to the
players should they dive or crash into them. Metal wires and cables may need to be covered if it is determined
that they present a danger to the players.
volleyball net cables are made from vinyl coated 3/16" steel cable. The dimensions of the cables are 38' x 3/16".
5. Antenna are flexible rods that are 1.8 meters long made of fiberglass, fastened at the outer edge of each
sideband. Side bands are two white bands attached vertically to the net and placed above each sideline.
Two white bands are fastened vertically to the net and placed directly above each side line. They are 5 cm wide
and 1 m long and are considered as part of the net.
