DESCRIPTION:
The game of volleyball for elementary Phy. Ed. Class is played on a rectangular court
divided by a tightly stretched net. Teams consist of 4, 5, or 6 players. Front row players start on the green
line and the back row player start on the yellow line. Before the back right person serves they will say their
team score, then the other team’s score. (Ex. “3 serving 2”). If the ball hits the net or ceiling on the serve it
will be a side-out for the receiving team. Each team may hit the ball a maximum of three times in returning
it across the net. The ball is returned back and forth until one team makes an error. Only the serving team
can earn a point. If the receiving team commits a fault a point is scored. If the serving team makes an error
or commits a fault, side-out is called and the other team serves. The team must rotate clockwise one position before serving. A player may not hit the ball twice in succession.
