VOLLEYBALL
INTRODUCTION
Sports plays an important role in educating students as it teaches them to
become strong from inside and also develop a fit and sound body. Combining sports in
education can help students to develop a self-motivating spirit to do things on their own
and having ownership of these. Being actively involved in sports can help students relax
from their daily routine of learning course syllabus and lessen the exam stress as well. It
is a great medium to keep the mind, body and soul in sync and maintain a balance
between work and play. Day to day practice in sports can help students imbibe
leadership skills. Qualities like tolerance, patience and tips to handle pressure is well
taught by sports. It also teaches the value of team spirit and proficiency to share victory
and defeat.
Sports education has direct impact on maintaining the child’s health and
increasing their physical stamina. One of the most important thing that is required in
sports is the discipline, which has been derived from the word disciple – follower of a
learned teacher. Having coaching in sports helps develop obedience, self-confidence
and the ability to determine winning or losing with extreme will power.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
After studying this module, the students are expected to:
 Trace the origin of the game Volleyball

 Enumerate and explain the uses of the different facilities and equipment used in
the game.
 Analyze and understand the basic rules of the game.
 Perform the correct way of playing the game.
 Identify the boundary lines, center line, and zone lines
 Examine the net, the vertical side bands, and the antennae
 Identify parts of the net where its height from the ground can be measured
 Feel the ball’s weight and circumference
_____________________________________________________________________________________
PRE-COMPETENCY CHECKLIST:
Directions: The following checklist contains a list of competencies covered in this
module. For each competency, there are four possible levels of mastery (Novice,
Apprentice, Practitioner, Expert). You will use this matrix to rate your level of mastery of
each competency prior to studying the module (PRE), and after you complete the
module (POST). For each competency, mark the appropriate “PRE” column which best
describes your level of mastery prior to studying the lessons of the module. You will also
mark the appropriate “POST” column when you have completed the module. Comparing
your two self-ratings on the PRE and POST columns will tell you whether you have
improved your competency level or not.

How did you fare in the checklist? Which competencies do you need to develop further?
Keep them in mind as you study the lessons that follow. If you answered “I can do this
very well” for all of the competencies, that’s very good! That means you already have
the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values essential for teachers in the near future.
However, you may still want to read this module in order to review what you already
know.
If there are any competencies that you feel you need improvement on, then this module
is for you. This module will help develop the KSAVs that you need to become a more
effective educator.

EXPLORE:
HISTORY OF VOLLEYBALL
On February 9, 1895, in Holyoke, Massachusetts (USA), William G. Morgan,

a YMCA physical education director, created a new game called "mintonette” as a
pastime to be played preferably indoors and by any number of players.
Alfred T. Halstead noticed the volleying nature of the

game at its first exhibition match in 1896, played at the
International YMCA Training School. He proposed that the name
"mintonette" be replaced by "Volley Ball” and this name was
accepted by Morgan and the game quickly became known as
volleyball.
The first country outside the United States to adopt

volleyball was Canada in 1900.

BASIC SKILLS
1. SERVE
- A serve begins each rally. A player must hit the ball with his or her hand over the
net to land inside the lines of the court.
Underhand and Overhand Serve refers to whether the player strikes the ball
from below, at waist level, or first tosses the ball in the air and then hits it above
shoulder level. Underhand serve is considered very easy to receive and is rarely
employed in high-level competitions.
Sky Ball Serve is a specific type of underhand serve occasionally used in beach
volleyball, where the ball is hit so high it comes down almost in a straight line.
Line and Cross-Court Serve refers to whether the ball flies in a straight
trajectory parallel to the side lines, or crosses through the court in an angle.
Top Spin it is an overhand serve where the ball gains topspin through wrist
snapping. This spin causes the ball to drop faster than it appears to a passer receiving
it.
Floater refers to an overhand serve where the ball is hit with no spin so that its
path becomes unpredictable. This type of serve can be administered while jumping or
standing.
Jump Serve is an overhand serve where the ball is first tossed high in the air,
then the player makes a timed approach and jumps to make contact with the ball. There
is usually much topspin imparted on the ball.
Jump Float. This is a serve like the jump serve and the floater. The ball is tossed
lower than a topspin jump serve, but contact is still made while in the air. This serve is
becoming more popular amongst college and professional players because it has
certain unpredictability in its flight pattern.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Round-House Serve. The player stands with one shoulder facing the net, tosses
the ball high and hits it with a fast circular movement of the arm. The ball is hit with the
palm of the hand, creating a lot of topspin.
Hybrid Serve. Refers to overhand serve delivered similarly to a top spin serve;
however, it has more pace than a floater, but has a similar unpredictable path.

2. PASS
- The pass is the attempt by a team to properly handle the opponent's serve, or
any form of attack. The skill of passing involves fundamentally two specific techniques:
underarm pass, or bump, where the ball touches the inside part of the joined forearms
or platform, at waist line; and overhand pass, where it is handled with the fingertips, like
a set, above the head.
Click the link for you to be guided. https://youtu.be/E6Vpr1oGXwI?t=14
3. SET
- The set is usually the second contact that a team makes with the ball. The main
goal of setting is to put the ball in the air in such a way that it can be driven by an attack
into the opponent's court. The setter coordinates the offensive movements of a team,
and is the player who ultimately decides which player will actually attack the ball.
4. ATTACK
- The attack is usually the third contact a team makes with the ball. The object of
attacking is to handle the ball so that it lands on the opponent's court and cannot be
defended.
Backcourt Attack. It is an attack performed by a back row player. The player

must jump from behind the 3-meter line before making contact with the ball, but may
land in front of the 3-meter line.
Line and Cross-court Shot. Refers to whether the ball flies in a straight
trajectory parallel to the side lines, or crosses through the court in an angle. A cross-
court shot with a very pronounced angle, resulting in the ball landing near the 3-meter
line, is called a cut shot.
Dip/Dink/Tip/Cheat. The player does not try to make a hit, but touches the ball
lightly, so that it lands on an area of the opponent's court that is not being covered by
the defense.
Tool/Wipe/Block-abuse. The player does not try to make a hard spike, but hits
the ball so that it touches the opponent's block and then bounces off-court.
Off-speed hit. The player does not hit the ball hard, reducing its speed and thus
confusing the opponent's defense.
Quick hit/"One". It is an attack (usually by the middle blocker) where the
approach and jump begin before the setter contacts the ball. The set (called a "quick
set") is placed only slightly above the net and the ball is struck by the hitter almost
_____________________________________________________________________________________
immediately after leaving the setter's hands. Quick attacks are often effective because
they isolate the middle blocker to be the only blocker on the hit.
Slide. Refers to variation of the quick hit that uses a low back set. The middle
hitter steps around the setter and hits from behind him or her.
Double quick hit/"Stack"/"Tandem". A variation of quick hit where two hitters,
one in front and one behind the setter or both in front of the setter, jump to perform a
quick hit at the same time. It can be used to deceive opposite blockers and free a fourth
hitter attacking from backcourt, maybe without block at all.

5. BLOCK
- Blocking refers to the actions taken by players standing at the net to stop or
alter an opponent's attack. Only the front-row players are permitted to complete a block.
6. DIG
- Digging is the ability to prevent the ball from touching one's court after a spike
or attack, particularly a ball that is nearly touching the ground.

DISCUSSION BOARD:
What are your takeaways after studying Volleyball as a sport? How are you going
to integrate the learnings in your daily living?
POST-COMPETENCY CHECKLIST
Directions: The following checklist contains a list of competencies covered in this
module. For each competency, there are four possible levels of mastery (Novice,
Apprentice, Practitioner, Expert). You will use this matrix to rate your level of mastery of
each competency prior to studying the module (PRE), and after you complete the
module (POST). For each competency, mark the appropriate “PRE” column which best
describes your level of mastery prior to studying the lessons of the module. You will also
mark the appropriate “POST” column when you have completed the module. Comparing
your two self-ratings on the PRE and POST columns will tell you whether you have
improved your competency level or not.
