New cards
Volleyball rule 1
The ball can only be hit up to three times per side (in addition to blocking) before it must go over the net.
7
New cards
Volleyball rule 2
If two or more teammates contact the ball simultaneously, it is considered one play. Neither player, however, may touch the ball again until another teammate touches it.
8
New cards
Volleyball rule 3
A volleyball player can serve underhand or overhand, but can’t step over the end line until after contacting the ball. The serve (or any volleyball hit) can graze the net as it goes over the net.
9
New cards

The volleyball serve must first be hit by the opposing team with a bump, or underarm pass, before it can be hit with a set, block or attacking shot.
10
New cards
Volleyball rule 5

15
New cards
Volleyball rule 10
You cannot catch, hold, or throw the ball.
16
New cards
Setter
The setter is the main contributor to the offense of the volleyball team.
One of the requirements of the setter is having a delicate touch to set the ball perfectly for one of the attacking players.
Communication is extremely important for the setter because they need to get the rest of the players on the same page.
Without the setter, there wouldn’t be hard spikes or technical ball movement.
17
New cards
Outside Hitter
The outside hitter is the lead attacker in the offensive strategy. To be a successful outsider hitter, you must be able to jump high, be quick on your feet, and be ready to adapt to different situations.
\ The volleyball won’t always be placed where the outside hitter would like, so they need to be prepared for hits from a variety of places.
18
New cards
Right Side Hitter
The right-side hitter, these players need to be a perfect balance of both offense and defense.
They will also get many opportunities to hit the volleyball, so similar to the outside hitter, jumping ability is vital.
The main difference that sets the right-side hitter apart is their defensive responsibility. Being able to receive the serve from the opposing team is just one of the many requirements of this specialized position.
19
New cards
Middle hitter
The middle hitter is the tallest player on the volleyball team. Their main role for the team is being the first line of defense against the opposing team’s hits.
The middle hitter needs to read the other team’s attackers to quickly raise his or her arms above the net in a blocking attempt. However, this is not a defense-only position.
The middle hitter will have chances for quick points throughout the set.
20
New cards
Libero
\ The libero can become confusing for non-volleyball players. They can only play on the back row of the court, and because of this, are the ideal person to receive a hit from the opposite team.
There are set rules the libero needs to follow, such as not attacking the ball at the net, playing a set for an attacker from the front, and more.
You can always tell a libero apart from the rest of the team because they wear a different colored jersey.

63
New cards
Goalkeeper
The goalkeeper's primary role is to protect the team's goal and prevent the opposing team from scoring.
They are the only player allowed to use their hands within the penalty area and are responsible for making saves, organizing the defense, and distributing the ball.
64
New cards
Defender
Defenders include center-backs (or central defenders) and full-backs.
Their main responsibility is to defend their team's goal and prevent the opposing team's forwards from scoring.
Center-backs focus on the central area of defense, while full-backs operate on the flanks, supporting both defense and attacking play.
65
New cards
Midfielders:
Midfielders are positioned between the defenders and forwards.
They play a crucial role in controlling the game by linking defense and attack.
There are different types of midfielders, including central midfielders, defensive midfielders (holding midfielders), attacking midfielders, and wide midfielders (wingers).
Their roles involve ball distribution, maintaining possession, creating chances, and supporting both defense and attack.
66
New cards
Forwards
Forwards, also known as strikers or attackers, are responsible for scoring goals.
They operate closest to the opposing team's goal and aim to receive passes, create scoring opportunities, and put the ball in the back of the net.
There are different types of forwards, such as center-forwards and wide forwards (wingers).
A team sends one batter out to the field at a time.
The batter competes against the entire opposing team, which will strategize in a bid to prevent the batter from getting to the bases before the ball does.
The game begins with the batter hitting the ball, thrown by the pitcher, with **a bat**. He or she will then drop the bat and run, attempting to make it to **first base** before the ball, depending on where the ball lands.
69
New cards
Pitcher
The pitcher throws, or pitches, the ball from the pitcher’s mound.
He or she must always stand with both feet on the **pitcher’s rubber** (a rectangular area on the mound)when making the pitch.
The rubber and the mound are all on level ground.
However, once the ball has been hit, the pitcher must ensure that neither foot is on the rubber.
The pitcher usually pitches from under the arm and the ball should pass through a strike zone.
The location of the strike zone, an imaginary area from the chest to just below the knee, depends on the pitcher’s position and stature.
Height is an advantage for pitchers, as well as upper body agility and strength.
70
New cards
Catcher
Positioned in a crouch behind the home plate, the catcher plays a crucial role in helping to gain points.
Helping to throw balls ahead of the batter before he or she can reach the bases, the catcher also catches balls fielded from third base.
A catcher must also call pitches and communicate the number of outs, strikes, and whatever is going on at the home base to the rest of the players.
71
New cards
First baseman
The first baseman of each team will stand at the first base, to the right of the pitcher.
He or she will catch throws at first base in order to prevent the other team from scoring.
72
New cards
Second baseman
You will find the second baseman at the second base, which is positioned opposite the home base across the field.
Also known as the second bagger sometimes, he or she does not usually stand at the exact right angle that marks the second base, but more towards the first base instead.
The second baseman may catch balls at second base, as well as help the first baseman, or even throw balls to the pitcher to help eliminate the opponent, depending on where the ball ends up.
Second base players are commonly right-handed.
73
New cards
Shortstop
The shortstop stands between the second and third bases, and is responsible for balls that end up in that area.
In fact, most balls actually do end up there. The shortstop has many responsibilities, including catching and fielding, and are very versatile and agile players.
This is perhaps the most difficult position on the field.
74
New cards
Third baseman
The remaining base is reserved for the third baseman. This area is the corner diagonally opposite the first base.
The third baseman has to catch the hits that land around his or her area, in addition to their most important responsibility - to throw the ball, if they get it, to the catcher before the opponent reaches home plate.
75
New cards
Outfielders
There are three outfielders, and their positions are called right fielder, centre fielder, and left fielder.
The outfielders are positioned outside the area marked by the four bases (infield square), with the right one standing closest to first base.
Their job is to catch and throw balls that fly out of the infield, backing up their teammates at the bases.
Because of their distance from the rest of the game, outfielders are usually strong throwers.
