Court Dimensions
The playing court in volleyball is a rectangular area measuring 18 meters long and 9 meters wide. The court is surrounded by a free zone at least 3 meters wide on all sides. This free zone is where the players warm up and where the ball can land before it is considered out of bounds.
Net Height
The net is placed vertically over the center line of the court and is set at a height of 2.43 meters for men and 2.24 meters for women. The net is suspended from a cable that is attached to two posts that are located on the sidelines of the court.
Team Composition
A volleyball team can have up to 12 players on its roster, but only 6 players can be on the court at any given time. The six players on the court are divided into three rows:
- Front row: The front row players are the ones who are responsible for blocking and attacking the ball.
- Back row: The back row players are the ones who are responsible for defending and passing the ball.
- Libero: The libero is a specialized back row player who is allowed to make unlimited substitutions. The libero is not allowed to serve, attack, or block the ball above the top of the net.
Match Format
Volleyball matches consist of three sets, with the first two sets played to 25 points and a third set to 15 points. Each set must be won by a margin of two points. The first team to win two sets wins the match.
Timeouts
Two timeouts of 30 seconds each are allowed per set for each team. Timeouts can be used to strategize with players, make substitutions, or rest players.
Substitutions
Each team is allowed six substitutions per set. Substitutions can be made at any time during the play, except during the service.
Officials
Volleyball matches are officiated by a 1st Referee, 2nd Referee, Scorer, and line referees. The 1st Referee is responsible for overseeing the match and making all of the final decisions. The 2nd Referee assists the 1st Referee and also calls linesmen’s faults. The Scorer keeps track of the score and the number of timeouts that each team has taken. The line referees are responsible for calling linesmen’s faults.
Basic Rules
There are a few basic rules that all volleyball players must follow:
- Double Contact: A player may not hit the ball twice in succession, except in the case of a block.
- Body Contact: It is legal to contact the ball with any part of a player’s body.
- Illegal Actions: Catching, holding, or throwing the ball is considered illegal.
- Simultaneous Contact: If two or more players contact the ball at the same time, it counts as one play, and any of those players can make the next contact unless it’s the team’s fourth hit.
- Blocking Serve: A player cannot block or attack a serve from on or inside the 3-meter line.
- Front Line Rotation: After the serve, front-line players can switch positions at the net.
- Five Players: If a team has only five players, they will have a ghost position, causing them to lose the point when that position is serving.
- Refereeing Team: The referee/duty crew includes two referees, line judges, and a scorekeeper.
- Basic Violations: Violations result in a lost point and include stepping on or across the service line when serving, failing to serve the ball over the net successfully, illegal ball contact, touching the net during play (with exceptions), reaching over the net during blocking or attacking, crossing the centerline, serving out of order, and back-row players blocking and spiking when part of their body is above the top of the net (illegal block).

Crossing the Center Lane: A chaser cannot cross the center line into the opponent’s half of the court. Touching the center line is not a foul, but going completely into the opponent’s half is.

AADUDAM ANDHRA TALKING POINTERS FOR GOVERNEMNT
- The Government of Andhra Pradesh has taken every step to ensure accessible and affordable healthcare, from YSR Arogyasri to Jagananna Aarogya Suraksha. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a series of chronic illnesses that medical experts say can only be overcome by physical activity and lifestyle changes.
- Now, “Aadudam Andhra” is a proactive measure to address these lifestyle-related disorders and the challenges posed by the pandemic by encouraging competitive sports which are the most proven way to imbibe healthy habits.
- To ensure the people’s health, Hon’ble CM has initiated Aadudam Andhra to encourage citizens to adopt an active lifestyle through sports. We want to inculcate the habit of maintaining a good lifestyle right from the grassroots level through this festival of sports.
- The Government of Andhra Pradesh isn’t just focusing on providing youth with quality and affordable education but is also endorsing sports, for both men and women, to inculcate the habit of leading a healthy life, providing an opportunity for those from rural backgrounds to showcase their talent and build a career in sports- our Government has provided professional-level quality playing kits for the sports at every Sachivalayam to ensure a level playing field for all participants.
- Moreover, it is also a Talent Search Operation. Our Government has established collaborations with franchises like Chennai Super Kings, Prime Volleyball, and Pro Kabbadi League, along with international players like PV Sindhu and Kidambi Srikanth, and AP Sports Associations, to scout and mentor talents from the grassroots level. Our government will handhold the selected candidates, to produce the next sporting superstars from Andhra Pradesh.
- Going forward, Aadudam Andhra will be a permanent program and will be organized every year in December.
