Volleyball Court

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.

Volleyball is a sport that is not popular yet in India but will eventually become more popular. It is similar to badminton in the sense that there is a lot of side to side movement and up and down movement so the flooring requirements have to be very carefully selected.

• Affordable and easy to maintain
• Durable, robust and fine finishing
• Effective ball response and bounce
• Excellent grip in all weather conditions
• Repairable

COURT SIZES

The dimensions of the court are:

The overall measurement for a Volleyball court is 60 feet by 30 feet. Each side of the court is therefore 30 feet by 30 feet in size.

Center Line

A center line is marked at the center of the court dividing it equally into 30 feet squares.

Attack Line

The attack line is marked 10 feet on each side of the center line of the court. Some rules show the attack line at 9′ 10″ however that includes the width of the line itself (2″).

Service Line

A service line is marked 10 feet inside the right sideline on each back line. This is the area from which the server may serve the volleyball.

The Net

Net is placed vertically over the center line. The top of the net is set at the height of 2.43 m for men and 2.24 m for women

• Its height is measured from the center of the playing court. The net height (over the two side lines) must be exactly the same and must not exceed the official height by more than 2 cm.
• The net is 1 m wide and 9.50 to 10 metres long (with 25 to 50 cm on each side of the side bands), made of 10 cm square black mesh.
• At its top a horizontal band, 7 cm wide, made of two-fold white canvas, is sewn along its full length. Each extreme end of the band has a hole, through which passes a cord, fastening the band to the posts for keeping its top taut.
• Within the band, a flexible cable fastens the net to the posts and keeps its top taut.
• At the bottom of the net there is another horizontal band, 5 cm wide, similar to the top band, through which is threaded a rope. This rope fastens the net to the posts and keeps its lower part taut.

Standards

Volleyball standards should be set at 36 feet apart, 3 feet on either side of the sidelines.

Ceiling Height

The minimum ceiling height should be 23 feet. Preferably the ceilings should be higher.

LIGHTING

For FIVB, World and Official Competitions, the lighting on the playing area should be 1000 to 1500 lux measured at 1 m above the surface of the playing area.
