V. Overview of the Module Volleyball is one of the famous sports in the Philippines
nowadays. This is a sport wherein all ages with different skill
level can enjoy. It can be played year around as it can be played
indoor or outdoor. Volleyball is a great team sport that can be
enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. One of the many
benefits of volleyball is the fact that it can be played year-round
in both an indoor and outdoor setting. Aside from the pure
enjoyment of the game, there are several reasons why people

WILLIAM G. MORGAN - FATHER OF VOLLEYBALL
Born in 1870 at Lockport, New York, William G. Morgan spent his childhood years
attending public school and working at his father's boat yard on the banks of the Old Erie Canal.
In 1891 Morgan entered Mt. Hermon Preparatory School in Northfield, Massachusetts, and it
was there he developed a friendship with James A. Naismith, who was destined to be the
originator of basketball. Naismith was impressed with young Morgan's athletic skills and
encouraged Morgan to continue his education at the International Young Men's Christian
It had to be physical - playing a game, after work and at lunch time, should provide
exercise, but it also had to relax the participants - it couldn't be too aggressive.
It had to be a sport, Morgan said, "with a strong athletic impulse, but no physical
contact."
So, he borrowed ball used in basketball, he took net used in tennis. The use of hands and
the ability to play off the walls and over hangs, he borrowed from handball. And, from baseball,
he took the concept of innings.
He termed this new game "Mintonette". And though admittedly incomplete, it proved
successful enough to win an audience at the YMCA Physical Director's Conference held in
Springfield, Massachusetts the next year.
It was at this conference that Dr. Alfred Halstead, a professor at Springfield College,
suggested a two-word version of its present name - "Volley Ball".
The game of volleyball was quite a bit different from what it used to. It was played on a
smaller 25'x50' court, with an unlimited number of players hitting the ball an unlimited number
of times, on either side of a 6'6" high net. Things tended to get a little crowded.
Each game was broken up into nine innings, each inning made up of three outs, or
"serves". These serves could be helped over the net by a second player, if the server didn't quite
reach the net.
The basketball originally used proved to be a little too heavy, and the subsequent use of a
basketball bladder, too soft. Morgan remedied this by contacting A.G. Spalding, a local sporting
goods manufacturer who designed a special ball - a rubber bladder, encased in leather, 25" or so
in circumference - the "volleyball".
What he probably didn't realize was that he had just created what would become the
second most popular team sport in the world.
WORLDWIDE GROWTH
Physical Education I
Sports)
The physical education directors of the YMCA, encouraged particularly by two
professional schools of physical education, Springfield College in Massachusetts and George
Williams College in Chicago (now at Downers Grove, Illinois), adopted volleyball in all its
societies throughout the United States, Canada (in 1900 Canada became the first foreign country
to adopt the game), and also in many other countries: Elwood S. Brown in the Philippines
(1910), J. Howard Crocker in China, Franklin H. Brown in Japan (1908), Dr. J.H. Gray in
Burma, in China and in India, and others in Mexico and South American, European and African
countries.
By 1913 the development of volleyball on the Asian continent was assured as, in that
year, the game was included in the program of the first Far-Eastern Games, organized in Manila.
It should be noted that, for a long time, volleyball was played in Asia according to the "Brown"
rules which, among other things, used 16 players (to enable a greater participation in matches).
The Philippines had much influence over the style of modern volleyball. In fact,
Philippine volleyball players invented the set and spike and helped influence the "three-hit
limit." The new technique invented by the Filipinos prompted American enthusiasts and
participants in volleyball to call it the "bomba" or "Filipino bomb", because spiking the ball was
like a hit or a form of attack that can squash or kill the opportunity of the opponent team to hit
the ball back for a possible point or win.
In 1916, the YMCA managed to induce the powerful National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) to publish its rules and a series of articles, contributing to the rapid growth
of volleyball among young college students. In 1918 the number of players per team was limited
to six, and in 1922 the maximum number of authorized contacts with the ball was fixed at three.
Until the early 1930s volleyball was for the most part a game of leisure and recreation,
and there were only a few international activities and competitions. There were different rules of
Volleyball thus became more of a competitive sport with high physical and technical
performance.
THE FIVB
Physical Education I
It has seen the start of two centuries and the dawn of a new millennium. Volleyball is
now one of the big five international sports, and the FIVB, Sports) with its 220 affiliated national
federations, is the largest international sporting federation in the world.
Volleyball has witnessed unprecedented growth over the last decade. With the great
success of world competitions such as the FIVB World Championships, the FIVB World
League, the FIVB World Grand Prix, the FIVB World Cup, and the FIVB Grand Champions
Cup as well as the Olympic Games, the level of participation at all levels internationally
continues to grow exponentially.
The beach volleyball phenomenon also continues to amaze. The overwhelming spectator
and television success of Beach Volleyball since its introduction to the Olympic Games at
Atlanta 1996 and the stunning success of the FIVB Swatch World Tour and World
Championships has opened up volleyball to a completely new market.

Two years later, the first two-man beach volleyball game was played, though the
professional side of the sport did not emerge until much later. Not surprisingly, the first beach
volleyball association appeared in California (1965), and the professional players united under
the auspices of the AVP (American Volleyball Professionals) in 1983.
During the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, American men and women took gold and silver
medals in indoor volleyball competitions. Four years later at the Olympics in Korea, the men
once again scored gold. Starting in 1996, two-man beach volleyball was officially introduced to
the Olympics. Today, there are more than 800 million volleyball players worldwide, 46 million
of them in the U.S.
In 1920, three hits per side and back row attack rules were instituted.
Physical Education I
In 1922, the first YMCA national championships were held in Brooklyn, NY. Twenty-seven
teams from 11 states were represented.
In 1937, at the AAU convention in Boston, action was taken to recognize the U.S. Volleyball
Association as the official national governing body in the U.S.
In 1975, the U.S. National Women’s team began a year-round training regime in Pasadena,
Texas (moved to Colorado Springs in 1979, Coto de Caza and Fountain Valley, CA, in 1980, and
San Diego, CA, in 1985).
In 1977, the U.S. National Men’s Team began a year-round training regime in Dayton, Ohio
(moved to San Diego, CA, in 1981).
In 1984, the U.S. won their first medals at the Olympics in Los Angeles. The men won the gold
and the women the silver.
In 1988, the U.S. men repeated the gold in the Olympics in Korea.

Court Dimensions
The game is played on a volleyball court 18 meters (59 feet) long and 9 meters (29.5 feet)
wide, divided into two 9 m × 9 m halves by a one-meter (40-inch) wide net placed so that the top
of the net is 2.43 meters (7 feet 11 5/8 inches) above the center of the court for men's
competition, and 2.24 meters (7 feet 4 1/8 inches) for women's competition (these heights are
varied for veterans and junior competitions).

Prevention First
The best way to deal with sports injuries is to keep them from happening in the first
place. Think of avoiding injury as just another part of playing by the rulebook. Knowing the
rules of the game you're playing and using the right equipment can go a long way toward
preventing injuries.
What To Do
If you think you've been injured, pull yourself out the game or stop doing your activity or
workout. Let a coach or parent know what happened in case you need to see a doctor.
You can get a sports injury anywhere on your body. Here are some key points to know
about common sports injuries.
Serious head and neck injuries happen most often in athletes who play contact sports (like
football or rugby) or sports with the potential for falling accidents, such as horseback riding and
gymnastics.
Sports)
could lead to permanent paralysis or even death. Keep the injured person still with his or
her head held straight while someone calls for emergency medical help. If the person is lying on
the ground, do not try to move him or her.
Back Injuries
Most back injuries are caused by twists or overexertion of back muscles during bending
or lifting movements. Back injuries are most common in contact sports like football and ice
hockey, or in weightlifting, rowing, golf, figure skating, gymnastics, and dancing.
Injuries to the sex organs usually affect guys more than girls because the penis and
testicles are outside the body and are more exposed. Injuries to the uterus or ovaries are rare, but
breast injuries are a common complaint among teen girls. As the breasts develop, they often can
be sore, and a blow from a softball or a collision during field hockey can be painful.
Hand, finger, and wrist injuries can happen after things like a fall that forces the hand or
fingers backward, or a direct blow. As with other injuries, hand and wrist injuries are most
common in contact sports, such as football, lacrosse, and hockey, or in sports like gymnastics,
field hockey, rowing, and basketball where the fingers, hands, and wrists are at risk.
Feet and ankles are particularly vulnerable to injury in sports that involve a lot of
running. Another reason for foot injuries is wearing the wrong shoes, especially if someone
has flat feet, high arches, or other foot differences.
Your first question after a sports injury will probably be, "When can I play again?" This
depends on the injury and what your doctor tells you. Even if you can't return to your sport right
away, a doctor or physical therapist might have suggestions and advice on what you can do to
stay fit. Always check with your doctor before trying any activity following an injury.

A rehabilitation program also can help you stay fit asSports)
Rehab
you recover. If rehabilitation
("rehab" for short) is part of your treatment program it might include exercise, manual therapy
from a physical therapist, and ultrasound or other technology to help relieve pain and promote
healing.
Preventing Reinjury
When you've recovered, you might need new protective gear to protect an injured body
part. This can include modified shoes, tape to provide extra support, or additional padding to
protect against a direct blow.
To help prevent reinjury, be sure to warm up before practice and games. Take it slow
when you first get back to your sport and gradually build back up to your preinjury level.
Most importantly, know your limits. Check in with your body: if a previously injured
area (or any body part) begins to hurt, stop right away and rest. Get help from a doctor if the pain
continues. Pain is your body's way of saying something isn't right.

Volleyball was invented by William G. Morgan in 1895, but it did not become an
Olympic sport until 1964.
The longest volleyball marathon on record was played in Amstelveen,
Netherlands, from December 27 to December 30, 2011. The event lasted 85
hours, with 63 matches played in total.
The record for most consecutive passes in volleyball is 110, achieved in the
United States, in Raleigh, North Carolina, on February 5, 2010.

The following are the essential skills needed in volleyball. Enable to enjoy and win the
game, one must understand the relevance of volleyball fundamentals. The following lesson is
produced by the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association in cooperation with USA Volleyball
Grassroots & Education.
PASSING
In volleyball much is made of the ability to serve because of the personal fitness and
deception that can be demonstrated; to set, which is volleyball’s answer to the quarterback
position of football; to finish a rally with the placement and power of a spike.
Perhaps the least recognized and most critical element of volleyball is the pass. In
recreational volleyball it is the greatest moment of confusion because some players are
concerned about returning the ball while others are just plain uncertain where that ball is going to
go after the first touch.
More points are lost on a team’s inability to deal effectively with the first ball over the
net than at any other point in a game. Most experienced players value a teammate who can pass,
as much as they do a good outside hitter and setter. The reason is simple. A good pass will
transform your team from a defensive posture to an offensive attack. The most common and
effective form of passing is the forearm pass. It’s the easiest way to get the ball under control.
Pick the passing method that works best for you. Don’t be concerned about which
method is better than the other. It’s really about personal choice and effective control. Whichever
you choose, keep these five points in mind:
1. Keep the ball between your wrists and elbows in the fattest part of the forearm
2. Press the wrists and hands down to hyperextend the arms
3. Lock your elbows. This gives the ball the most area to hit, and helps you control the direction
of your pass.
4. Try to bend your knees before the ball gets to you so that you can both absorb the serve and
re-direct the pass. 5. Don’t swing at the ball, but do try to shrug your shoulders toward your
target at the moment of impact.
If there is a moment of truth in volleyball, it is the perfectly hit spike. The spike combines
power, speed and athleticism to provide the excitement that is uniquely volleyball. The spike is
used to either put the ball down in a portion of the court where the opposition is not, or to strike
the ball so hard that the defenders are unable to deal with it effectively. Front row players can
attack the ball from anywhere on the court. Back row players can only attack from behind the
three meter line.
The Underhand Serve - Since this is the easiest serve to execute, don’t be embarrassed
to use it in novice or recreational situations. The goal of any serve is to get the ball in play. Sure,
we all like to hit an “ace” that rockets across the net, but the first obligation is to maintain serve.
The technique is to gently toss the ball up and in front of you while bringing the other hand
forward to make contact. A simple toss of several inches will suffice. Make contact with the heel
of the hand or the open part of the palm along the index finger and the thumb. If you prefer to
fold you fingers into your palm for strength or control, keep your thumb out to the side and avoid
striking the ball with your knuckles. Such an irregular surface can make the ball go in
unpredictable directions. Stand outside the court, anywhere along and behind the end line, about
ten feet from the right sideline. If you’re right-handed, hold the ball in you left hand and take a
step forward with your left foot while lobbing the ball ever so slightly in front of yourself. All
this time you bring your right arm back past your hip and then forward to meet the ball just as it
is coming down from the low toss. Never take your eyes off the ball. Just before you start your
serve make a mental picture of the opponent’s positions on the court and decide where you’re
going to attempt to put the ball.
The Overhand Serve - This is the most popular serve in competitive volleyball. There
are many variations that you can master with practice. As in any serve, make sure you don’t
touch or cross the endline at any time during your serve. This type of serve offers speed and
deception.
The proper technique for a dig is similar to a bump pass, but your knees are bent much
more and your weight is more forward to be able to extend yourself to the floor if necessary to
retrieve the ball. Sprawling, rolling and diving are extremely important techniques used to dig a
ball. Proper execution, leg placement, timing of floor contact, and returning to your feet are
considerations. Watch others, ask for instruction and practice these skills often in non-game
conditions to avoid injury to yourself or others.
BLOCKING
The surest way to cripple your opponent’s attack is to take away a hitter’s spike. And the surest
way to do that is with a well-coordinated blocking scheme.
Blockers don’t need to take a running start, but must stay close to the net and leap up. If
you require a running start to jump, you probably don’t belong in the block. Stand with your
hands and fingers held fully extended above the shoulders. Focus on the hitter in front of you and
slide into the path of the descending ball at the point where it will cross the net.
Your jump should occur just slightly after the hitter’s. Knees must be bent before takeoff
to jump straight up. As you jump, fully extend your arms and hands. Spread your fingers, but
keep them rigid, and bend your wrists as you rise above the net so that your hands break the
plane of the net. If you keep your arms just a few inches apart, you’ll avoid letting a ball go
through them.
If you’re a shorter player forced to block, bend your wrists back instead of forward and
don’t try to penetrate the net after the block which should put the ball in good position for either
you or another teammate to play it. This is called a soft block.

Discussion:
Developing good volleyball strength begins in the weight room, and it's important that
your athletes are doing the right exercises that set a solid foundation. Art of Coaching fitness
editor Marie Zidek, head volleyball coach at DePaul University and a certified strength and
conditioning specialist, demonstrates and explains 10 exercises here that are designed
specifically for volleyball players to develop strength in a safe way. Building this strength allows
athletes to then work on power development by keeping them in safe positions when exploding
through the power movements required in volleyball
1. Good mornings
This is another exercise that uses a plate. It helps strengthen your legs and makes your ankles
more stable so you're at less risk for injury. It also helps train you for single-leg jumps.
Recommended Reps: 3 sets of 16 reps (8 left, 8 right)
6. Dumbbell snatch
The dumbbell snatch is great for training triple extension (which is basically the mechanics of
jumping), power development and improving explosiveness.
Recommended Reps: 3 sets of 8 reps

VI. Module Outcomes As for the outcome of the module, you are expected to
trace the history of volleyball and trace the remarkable changes
happened in the volleyball. Also, you are expected to be
familiarized with the how to officiate volleyball
Physical Education I
games/understanding the rules and hand signals used by the
referees.
VII. General Instructions
Sports)
You must allot the necessary time to complete the lessons
each week. If you choose not to complete the lesson using the
schedule provided, you must understand that it is your full
responsibility to complete them by the last day of completion.
Time is of the essence.
The module is designed to assess student understanding of the
assigned lessons found within the associated content of the
midterm and final period of the course. The assessment part of
the module is composed of varied types of questions. You may
see true/false, traditional multiple choice, matching, multiple
answer, completion, and/or essay. Pay attention to the answer
to the assessment questions as you move through each lesson.
After each module you will be given a summative test. Your
responses to the assessment parts of the module will be checked
and recorded.
Because the assessment questions are available within the
whole completion period and because you can reference the
answers to the questions within the content modules, we will
not release the answers within modules. However, your
professors are happy to discuss the assessments with you
during their consultation time, should you have any questions.
Good luck.
The illustration above is the focus of the referees in officiating a game. There are many
changes happened in volleyball when it comes to the rules, but most remained the same.
The essence of a good official lies in the concept of fairness and consistency:
– to be fair to every participant, – to be viewed as fair by the spectators.
Sports)
Finally we can say that a good referee will use the rules to make the competition a
fulfilling experience for all concerned.
RULES OF VOLLEYBALL
There are thirty rules of the game of volleyball. Each of these rules is made up of articles
which address specific aspects of the rule. Each of the articles is subject to interpretation which
is usually addressed in rule books as ‘commentary.” In some cases, there are current practices
that differ from international rules. This review of the rules is not intended to give you a
complete explanation, but rather, like the rest of this brochure, just an overview of the basics. It
is critical that to be a proficient player, or just to avoid needless interruptions brought on by
debate of the rules of play, you should become very familiar with all the rules. Additionally, it
should be noted that high school, collegiate women, international competition, and beach
volleyball rules all vary somewhat from what is presented in this module.
SOURCE: www.usavolleyball.org/officiat/main.htm. Visit this page to understand more the
comprehensive rules of volleyball.
NOTE: Use your rule book to advance your own understanding of the rules, not like a
traffic cop whose job it is to point out other people’s violations.
RULE 1: Playing Area and Lines. See picture below
RULE 2: The Net and Posts. See picture below
RULE 3: The Ball. In professional league, standardized ball provided by the organizer is only
accepted. But in some leagues, any volleyball can be used.
RULE 4: The Teams. If the captain asks the first referee, before the match begins, players may
participate without shoes.
For international and USA Volleyball Open Competition, each team has the option to
register on their roster one specialized defensive player called the “Libero.”
RULE 5: Players Equipment. Uniforms must be similar, clean and of the same color. The
Libero, if used, will wear a uniform of contrasting color.
No jewelry is allowed except medical and religious medals or flat wedding bands. These
may have to be taped to avoid hazards for players. No casts or hard splints or braces are allowed
on the upper body no matter how much padding is used. Only soft bandages and tape are
allowed.
RULE 6: Rights and Responsibilities of the Participants. Only the playing captain or coach
may ask for a time-out or substitution and only when the ball is not in play. Only the playing
captain may speak to the referees.
RULE 7: Scoring System. A volleyball match is won by the team that wins the best of three or
five sets.
All sets are rally scored. In the rally score system, a point is awarded on each service or
side out. This means that a receiving team’s error or penalty results in a point. Likewise, a
serving team’s error or penalty results in a point and the ball for the receiving team to serve. It
isn’t necessary for the winning team to be serving when the winning point is scored.
Physical Education I
A default game results if a team cannot field six players or fails to begin play after the
referee request. Default games are scored either 25-0 or 15-0 depending on the set being played.
Sports)
In a set to 25 points, if a default is due to injury, the losing team keeps its points and the winning
team is credited with at least 25 points or up to 27 if necessary to provide a two point victory.
RULE 8: Preparation for the Match: A coin is tossed at the beginning of the match. The
winner of the coin toss may choose to serve, receive the serve, or the side of the court. The same
choices are offered at a toss before the deciding game of a match if one is needed. After each set
of a match, players change sides of the court and bench areas at courtside.
RULE 9: Team Line-up. At least two minutes prior to a match and thirty seconds prior to the
expiration of the intermission between games, a coach or game captain submits the team line-up.
RULE 10: Players’ Positions and Rotation. At the moment the ball is contacted by the server,
each team must be completely within its own side of the court in two rows of three players. The
rows may be staggered.
Each player in the front row must have at least a part of one foot closer to the center line
than both feet of the corresponding back row player.
Each right (left) side player must have at least a part of one foot closer to the sideline
than both feet of the center player in the corresponding row. The server is exempt from the
application of this rule.
When the receiving team has gained the right to serve, its players must rotate one position
clockwise.
RULE 11: Substitution of Players. The act by which the referees authorize a player to leave
the court and a substitute to occupy that position.
If used, the Libero player must be recorded on the scoresheet before the match and
indicated on the roster. His/her number must also be added on the line-up sheet of the first set.
The Libero: • Must wear a jersey of contrasting color to his/her teammates.
• Is restricted to perform as a back-row player.
• Is not allowed to complete an attack hit from anywhere.
• Is not allowed to serve, block or attempt to block.
RULE 13: Playing Faults. Any playing action contrary to the rules is a playing fault.
The consequence of a fault is loss of rally. The opponent of the team committing the fault
wins the rally and is awarded a point.
If opponents simultaneously commit a fault, a double fault is called and the rally is
replayed. If opponents commit faults at nearly the same time, the 1st referee must determine
which one happened first and only penalize that one.
RULE 14: Playing the Ball. Each team is entitled to three hits (in addition to blocking) to return
the ball to their opponents.
A fault occurs when:
• The ball is held, thrown or pushed.
