LESSON I- Volleyball as a Team Sport and Its Background
One of the many team sports played involving a ball and a net is Volleyball. In
this sport, opposing teams are on each side of the net. A team hits the ball
over the net and into the opponent’s side of the court. Meanwhile, the
receiving team aims to receive the ball, the players prevent it from touching
the ground, then hit it back over the net and into the opponent’s side of the
court within three touches.
There are two types of volleyball which are played in competition. These are
the team and beach volleyballs. Team volleyball is played by two teams on a
hard court, indoors and outdoors, with six individuals on the court for each
team aiming to score 25 points to win a set over the opponent. While beach
volleyball is played by two teams on the sand, outdoors, with two players each
team aiming to score 21 points to win a set over the opponent. The discussion
in this lesson will focus on team volleyball. Volleyball can be a fun game to
play with friends. In a recreational set up, it can be enjoyed by unlimited
number of players which means anyone can join in. On the other hand, in a
competitive set up, players are limited to only six for each team during play,
and they must take time to practice for good performance. Good jumping ability
and height will help a lot but are not requirements in the game.

History of Volleyball
The game Volleyball was created by William G. Morgan in 1895, an athletic
director at the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) in Holyoke,
Massachusetts, United States, with the aim to design a game that is equally
enjoyable with basketball, but less challenging. It was quick to become a
trendy sport at that time. Then, Alfred Halstead saw the game’s volleying
nature. People started calling it volley-ball and the name stuck. The rules of
the game have changed as time passed by. Volleyball became an official event in
the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, where Japan came up victorious in winning the first
gold medal in women's volleyball as the USSR claimed the first gold for men.
Volleyball Equipment and Court

During the early years, a volleyball had variety of colors but white was
greatly favored worldwide. But, after more than a century from the day it was
invented, the widely accepted color now is blue and yellow. It is round with
several panels which are usually leather made. Its official size is 65-67
centimeters in circumference and 260-280 grams in weight with an air pressure
of 4.26-4.61 psi. For kids, volleyball is smaller while it is bigger in Beach
volleyballs with the same weight, but with less air pressure.
The standard volleyball court is 18 x 9 meters. The net, 1 meter wide, is
suspended in the middle and across the court, 2.43 meters high for men and 2.24
meters high for women, splitting it to two sides. There is a line that is drawn
3 meters from the center and parallel to the net on each side. This is the
attack line which sets the back row and the front row areas.
LESSON II - Volleyball Skills

As a sport, volleyball is played well with a good combination of skills. A
player needs to go from one place to another on different directions to be able
to cover certain areas of the court. Also, teams must be able to shift from
offense to defense as fast as possible depending on the sequence of the game.
Players must always be ready to execute certain skills on different situations.
SERVICE
The service is the first opportunity for a player to score a point and it is
determined by a toss coin. Whichever team wins the toss coin will decide
whether they take the opportunity to serve first or decide which side of the
court they will play on first.
DIG
The "dig" is used to receive and pass the ball with control using the forearms.
It is usually executed with the first contact by the team and very useful in
defense as it allows the receiver to have a good control of the ball and pass
it to the setter positioned near the net.
 hold both hands together with one hand inside the other
 both thumbs pointing slightly downwards
 both knees bent
SET
The "set" is an overhead pass used to toss and put the ball in the right
position for the attacker or spiker.
SPIKE
The "spike" is a forceful hitting or smashing of the ball across the net which
serves to be the most effective way for a team to score a point during a rally.
BLOCK
A block is a defensive act of preventing the ball coming from an attack of the
offensive team from crossing the net.
Volleyball Drills
Drills are used to enhance various performance factors in volleyball such as
ball control, footwork, and timing on approach jumps or blocks. Both coaches
and players need to understand the importance of drills in training.
Drills can fix a players’ issues on their volleyball skills which includes
passing or hitting the ball. Doing drills in volleyball has many benefits...
 Before doing a specific drill, a player needs to understand its purpose.
Rather than just going through the motions, they will be more interested in the
training.
 Drills for volleyball are important for developing habits. If players are
constantly focusing on how to perform a volleyball drill correctly, they will
improve their ability to focus during the competition.
 If coaches will set goals and set a specific focus to a drill, they will have
better understanding of when to move on or adjust the drill for a better
training effect.
