Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules. It has been a part of the official program of the Summer Olympic Games since 1964.
Dimension
- Court Length - 18 meters.
- Court Width - 9 meters.
- Divided into two 9 m × 9 m halves by a one-meter wide net.
- The top of the net is 2.43 meters above the center of the court for men’s competition.
- The top of the net is 2.24 meters for women’s competition (these heights are varied for veterans and junior competitions).
- There is a line 3 meters from and parallel to the net in each team court which is considered the “attack line”. This 3 meter (or 10 feet) line divides the court into back row and front row areas (also back court and front court). These are in turn divided into 3 areas each, starting from area “1″, which is the position of the serving player.
