The both teams, each consisting of 6 players exist, are each in their own half and try by striking or tapping the ball against this on the opposite part of the playing field to do touch the ground within the lines. A successful attempt, or an error of the opponent, delivers a point on. first 25 points wins the set. Who has won the first 3 sets wins the match. With the score tied, 2-2 in sets, a decisive set played to 15 points.

On the sides of the net, exactly above the lateral line, are two vertical sticks, called "antennas", posted. A ball that to the playing field of the opponent is played between these antennas or should it continue.

Main rules:

==Points Count[ Edit] == Within the Belgian and Dutch League is the Rally Point System applied. This system is introduced to the game more attractive in the year 2000 smoothly. What it comes down to is that every rally results in a point for one of both teams. The set ends when a team 25 points and has at least two points more than the opponent, so if the State 25-24 to 2 points difference is passed on. An eventual fifth set goes up to 15 points with two points difference.
 * 1) The ball contact should be short to very short (to judge by the referee)
 * 2) A player may not touch the ball two times in a row, except when blocking.
 * 3) Each team may have a maximum of three times in a row in which the blocking ball contact, not as a ball contact counts.
 * 4) The ball should the antennas or other objects off the pitch do not touch.
 * 5) The net may be hit (except for the part outside the antennas and the upper netrand) unless there is advantage.
 * 6) It is wrong if a player under the net calls in the space of the opponent and the player interferes with the opponent. It is also error if the feet (and) of a player fully within the field of the opponent calls. The center line is associated with both playing fields.
 * 7) A team scores a point by the ball hitting the opponent's field to do (within the lines or on the line) or because an opponent makes a mistake.
 * 8) Once a team gets that team scores a point the right of save (also called called serve)
 * 9) For the beginning of a new paragraph shall be changed a player. Each team has a set right on up to six Bills of Exchange. A player who may be exchanged for the same player again has been exchanged but should not be changed again afterwards in the same set. In total, this then so two bills of the maximum allowed six.
 * 10) Every team has in each set is entitled to two timeouts.
 * 11) Achterspelers may not jump over the net the ball in play as they drop off in the 3-meter zone.
 * 12) There should not be attacked if the libero an overhand pass gives in the 3-meter zone.

There was previously worked with another system, the side-out system. It could only the serving team score a point. If the non-serving team won the rally got the be the storage, but no point. A set ended at 15 points with two points difference.

Which lasts until the opponent scores.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The ball is brought into the game by the server through a storage or service from behind the end line: the overhand struck storage or the jump service. On recreation at the youth level and is also called the private storage. The ball must be stored over the net end up in the field of the opponent. A fairly new rule is that when the ball touches the net and goes over it, the game continues. One of the players of the receiving party field captures the served ball with side-by-side stretched forearms on. In today's Volleyball may also be played ' overhand '. Usually the ball is passed on to a game distributor. The ball on the ground, he is beaten outside the lines or error is returned, then the storage turn to the opponent, regardless of the method of point scoring.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The game distributor, a player with good technique and game insight, stands in the rally slightly right of Center for the net, or provides that he or she will be there when the ball of the opponent has been received. The game dealer plays the ball mostly by to one of the attackers, which set up (Setup) is called. The game distributor can give the set-up at the external attacker (usually the reception/angle), which is on the left side to the net, the middenaanvaller (also called hoofdblokkeerder) which is in the middle or to the opposite player to the net (= opposite), that State right to the net. In the latter case, whether the set up is usually given. The game can also give the set-up to a distributor of the achterspelers, these can be a so-called "three-meter attack" run. This means that they must save all the balls as players as long as the marketing of the jump but happens behind the three meter line; the player may after striking the ball so much for the three meter line countries. Within these three metres achterspelers may play the ball just over the net, if they hit him under the netrand. An exception for the achterspelers is the libero, who never can perform an offensive action with the ball at the time of netrand is above the upper touch. For example, though privately he may play the ball over the net or give a private setup. The attacker who gets left to carry the ball tap or hit the ball over the net to the ground. In most cases, the smash applied, a hard blow with the flat hand, with the ball contact must be as short as possible. Sometimes the attacker used a so-called prikbal, for example, if the design is not good for a smash, or to surprise the opponent. Here, the ball with the fingertips in an overhand movement focused played without, however, being hit. However, also in this technique the ball contact to be brief.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The defence has to keep the ball off the ground and does so usually by a block to form: one, two or three players jumping at the same time and next to each other with straight arms and hands on, in order to prevent the opponent the ball back over the net to save/click. The art is to at the right time and at the same time to jump, and, of course, exactly on the spot where the ball is struck. Locking may offensive, in which the ball goes back directly to the field of the opposing team, or defensively, with the ball as much as possible is delayed so that it can be played by a team-mate easier.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">If a ball the block passes must be defended by the defenders in the backfield. This often produces spectacular actions on with plain diving and side roles. The only years ago introduced libero is a specialist in this kind of defensive plays.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Usually be trainer/coach, reserve players and other team members in front of the main referee. If the trainer/coach that he/she may need a time out between two rallies requests. The trainer makes a T-sign with his hands, the referee blows off and there may be necessary with the players. Time out might simply be a tactical maneuver to the momentum out of the game by the opponent, and/or necessary to be able to give indications to the own players. Time out takes 30 seconds and should be requested twice and per team per set. ==Score points<span class="mw-editsection" len="329" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In volleyball can in many ways points are scored. Besides the obvious way of save the ball in or out, should also the technique of the players and the tactics of the attack according to the rules. What is striking is that you can make no points as a team, formally but only thanks to a "fault" of the opponent. The most common "mistakes" that can make a team points are below:

These rules together was volleyball. To hit the ball over the net without the ground had to be played. This is called volley. Should be redone once a netservice and you were allowed in the game dribbling to one meter for the net. Dribbling the ball in, held up play for yourself. A match consisted of innings. Such a inning was over when all players from both teams had had a serve turn. In addition, it was possible to play one against one, but also ten against ten. And to protect the fingers of the ladies they could catch the ball first and then flipping.
