Day 5:
      Court Position:

Ball passed off service by 6 person primarily, or 5, 1, 4, 2 (in order of priority for hitting)

Ball is passed to setter, who lines up with their back to the net -- the pass should be high and give the setter time to get underneath the ball for a good set

The setter then “sets” the ball up (a high arc ball) for the “hitters” (the number 4 (power hitter) and 2 (weak side hitter) players)

The players must “cover” the hitter in case the spike / attack hit gets blocked; they would go to the following spots depending on which side the ball was hit from: (Please see the diagram on the Red Bulletin Board or see Mr. Akin)

Volleyball Resume

THE GAME: Volleyball is the 2nd most widely played game after soccer, and there are 6 players per team, played on a court divided by a net (2.43 mts. for men and 2.24 mts. for women).  Each team tries to cause the opposite team to be unable to return the ball over the net .

SCORING:  A team must have 25 points and be 2 points ahead to win the game. A match is either 2 out of 3 games (schools), or 3 out of 5 games (international rules).

SERVICE:  The game begins by a serve (service) taken behind any part of the baseline. The server may not step on or over the baseline until the ball is hit.  The serve may either be underhand, side arm, over head, or power service (jumping).  The ball must pass over the net and land between the court boundaries (lines are in).

PLAYING THE BALL: A team has up to 3 hits to return the ball over the net.  The same person cannot hit the ball twice in succession.  The ball must be given immediate impetus with any part of the body.  The ball must be hit clearly, not held. If the team fails to return the ball over the net legally, the other team wins the point.
