Volleyball

blockers at the net.

There are several famous Spanish volleyball players. Some of these include Hector Soto, Virginia Cardona, Ernesto Rodriguez, as well as Luis Pedro Suela.

arms, head, body and knees....but the players cannot use their feet

1998 saw the international introduction of the defensive libero player to the sport of volleyball.

The typical volley ball uniform consists of the following: Jersey

spandex shorts

knee pads

socks (usually knee high)

ankle braces ( optional)

court shoes

The other team automatically gets a point and the ball C:

Well it is simple, short players are forced to adapt to there size. Usually short players learn to put lot's of top spin on the ball (by snapping harder on the ball). A short player usually does not T-line it every single time but instead loads on the tops spin and hits it to a deep corner. these shots are hard to dig at all levels.

karch kiraly is the greatest volleyball player in volleyball history.

Well if you are talking about the best volleyball player in the WORLD, then Giba, an Outside Hitter from Brazil should take that title. Dante, the other outside hitter from Brazil is also really good. It is also very difficult to tell who is the best volleyball player because you can't compare different positions. Another really good outside hitter is Matey Kaziyski from Bulgara. Lloy Ball, the setter from United States is personally my favorite setter. My favorite opposites are Andre from Brazil and Gabe Gardner from the U.S.// I also think that Mariusz Wlazły of Poland is a phenomenal opposite. Also the best scorer in the last two world cups has been Puerto Rico's Hector "Picky" Soto.

A pass is usually used when a team is receiving the serve. A pass is usually made with the forearms (bump) although you can overhead pass (set) a serve too. The goal of a pass is to get the ball perfectly to the setter so that she/he can assist a hitter.

Passes are scored as a 3 2 1 or 0. 3 is a perfect pass and 0 is a shanked ball.

A dig is not the same as a pass!

There are many signals that are too many to list out. I used to watch my sister play volleyball and it took me a very long time to learn what I thought was all of them. I think I still have more to learn( and I play volleyball now)!

Well, each position on the court has a number 1 through 6, since there are six players on the court at a time. They look like this:

-------- <-net

4 3 2

5 6 1

There are also different names for players' positions. Some of these are setter, middle hitter, outside hitter, left side hitter, receiver, and libero.

Volleyball equipment is mostly a volleyball and net. If you play on a school team you would probably need knee pads and volleyball shoes.

Valleyball can be one of two things (in my experience).

#1) Valleyball - the way someone who does not speak English types Volleyball.

#2) A strip club in California

Water Skiing briefly made an appearance in the Olympics in 1972 but only as a demonstration sport. It is not a sport in 2012 as well ;_;

In order for a sport to be recognized it not only has to be popular but meet IOC Standards.

Well.... it scores the points, most of the time.

its called a tip

The ball is put on the line wherever it went out, then a player of the team who did not touch the ball last has a free hit. For sideline hits within the 23 metre area, the ball cannot be played into the circle without first having touched another stick or being played five metres distance.

I personally don't know and can only suppose that at some level of the game(not the highest, but another leagues) there is no must for the team to have a libero and some of them choose not to have such a player. What do you think about it? I expect your opinion because I'm very interested in this question!

There are many different leagues for volleyball, for beach volleyball they usually have two players on each side of the court, but for outdoor volleyball they'll either have four or more players on each side, and for indoor volleyball they have six players on each side of the court.

A save is when one of your players gets a hard ball into play. For example, if the opposing team spikes the ball onto your side and a backrow player dives for it and gets it up to the setter, that is considered a "save". Basically, your "saving" the ball or "saving" your teams butt : )

There are two main ones. During your service if you step on or over the line then a foul is called. Also,if you don't release the ball 5 seconds after the ref's whistle to begin the service you are called a foul. When the foul is called for both of these errors, the other team gains possession of the ball. Also there is another more complicated rule. If you throw the ball in the air and realize it is a bad toss you don't want to hit then you are allowed to let the ball hit the ground, but only ONCE per that rotation of serves. The next time that you come around the court to serve, you may drop it only once again. Another foul called is when you serve before the ref's whistle. Depending on the ref, you will either get a second chance or the other team gains possession of the ball.

Net height is 7' 11 5/8" for men. 7' 4 1/8" for women. Co-ed competition is played on a men's height net. The official height measurement is made in the center of the net. The height of the net at the sidelines can be no more than 3/4" higher than the official height. If you're playing on sand, these measurements are all made with the sand raked level

A bump or a pass, a set, a forehead set, an under hand serve or a over hand serve, a spike
