SIDEOUT SCORING

• Only the serving team may score a point, except
  in the deciding game when rally-point scoring is
  used.
• When the receiving team wins a rally, it gains
  the right to serve (also scoring a point in the
  deciding game), and its players rotate one
  position clockwise.
• Rotation ensures that players play at both the
  net and the back zone of the court.

  two-point advantage and wins the match by winning
  the best of three or five games.

  17th point wins a non-deciding game with only a
  one-point advantage.
• In a deciding game there is no point cap.

RALLY POINT SCORING

• The team winning a rally scores a point (Rally
  Point System). When the receiving team wins a

  matches. Each non-deciding game will be won by
  the team that first scores 25 points with a
  minimum two-point advantage (no scoring cap).

Playing Positions
19
Setter

• "Quarterback" of the team - The setter is
  responsible for playing the ball on the second
  contact in every play. He/she will set to the
  hitters for the offensive attack.
• Regardless of the rotational position of the
  setter, the setter must move into position near
  the net at center court as soon as the ball is
  contacted.
• Qualities of a good setter Quick feet - Good
  ball control - Consistent - Accurate - Leader -
  Team Strategist

20
Outside Hitter (strong side)

• Hits from the Left Front Position on the court.
  Blocks weak side hits and moves to assist the
  middle hitter on blocking middle hits. There are
  defensive responsibilities. Once the outside
  hitter is sure the ball is not approaching this
  position, he/she moves off the court into
  position to await a set from the setter.
• Qualities of a good Outside Hitter Explosive
  Jumper - Quick Arm Swing

21
Weak-side Hitter (off setter)

• Hits and blocks from the Right Front Position on
  the court. Performs same responsibilities as the
  strong side hitter. However, the weak-side hitter
  is usually responsible for setting the ball if
  the setter plays the first ball over the net.
• Qualities of a good Weak-side hitter Strong
  blocker - Agile - Flexible - Ability to adjust 

22
Middle Hitter

• Hits and blocks from the Middle Front Position on
  the court. This position requires good footwork
  and endurance. The middle hitter is responsible
  for blocking opponent's middle hits, AND
  assisting in the blocking of outside and offside
  hits.
• Qualities of a good Middle Hitter Good lateral
  movement - Shoulder flexibility - Endurance

23
Right, Middle, and Left Back Row

• These players job are to return serves to the
  setter and get the ball to the setter in a rally.

24
3 Hits per Side

• It is to your advantage to hit the ball 3 times
  on your side. When your team sets up the play
  the hitter has a much better chance of ending the
  point with a powerful spike.

25
Basic Offensive Strategy

• The basic offensive strategy in volleyball is
  Pass - Set - Spike. The first ball over the net
  is passed to a position close to the net, just
  right of center court. The setter will be in this
  location to receive the pass and set the ball to
  one of the teams attackers (hitters).

26
Rotational Position

• Rotational Position is the area on the court
  where the player must be when the ball is served
  (from either team). This is determined by the
  line-up at the beginning of the game, which
  dictates the order of servers for the entire
  game. A new line-up is submitted for each game in
  a match, so positions may be changed after each
  game. These rotational positions are numbered on
  the court.

27
Rotation

• Students will enter on the back row. The first
  position will be back row on the left side. Next
  moving to middle and finally to the serve on the
  back row. Following a loss of serve, the next
  position will be front row in the right side then
  to the middle. The last position will be on the
  left. Once the rotation has been made as another
  player enters on the back row, the player will
  exit the game.
