VOLLEYBALL RULES
COURT SIZE:
The standard size of a volleyball court is 30 feet wide and
60 feet long. The playfield can be increased or decreased
based on the space available.
NET:
Stretch the net across the center of the court dividing it in
half. The net height should be set at 7 feet when playing
volleyball, but it can be set to 6 feet or 5 feet 1 inch if all
of the players agree to the change.
NUMBER OF PLAYERS:
Each team should have the same number of players and
the there shouldn’t be more than 6 total per team.
SERVICE:
Each player shall serve in turn and will continue to serve
until their team loses the point (called "siding out"). When
serving, the ball must go over the net; if the ball hits the
net when served and goes over the net, the ball must be
re-served. If the ball does not go over the net when
served or is out of bounds or touches any team-mate
before touching an opponent or opponent’s court, they
"side out" and the opponent takes possession and
becomes the serving team.
SERVING AREA:
The serving area should be a minimum of 5 feet behind
the back boundary of the court. In the event that the
playing area does not provide enough space for such an
area, then the serving area shall extend into the court.
The serving area should be located in the right end
section of each court; the width should not exceed 8 feet.
(see diagram).
GAME:
The game shall be played to 21 or 15 points. In order to win
the match, a team must win two out of three games.

fails to score, it is “side out” and the receiving team becomes
the serving team.

Each team is allowed three consecutive ball touches
before it is returned to the opponent’s area.
ROTATION:
After a team has lost its serve, the team receiving the ball
