Hello welcome to my blog, I’m going to give you some information about myself and about volleyball . I’m Victoria I’m 13 years old and I’m Dutch. I have been playing volleyball since I was 9 years old. Right now I’m playing in the first C team of Limes. That’s the reason why I chose this subject. I’m going to tell you about the basic rules off the game, the things you need to play volleyball and I’m going to tell you about the positions and some systems of volleyball.
The rules
The first thing I’m going to tell you about the basic rules. When you play volleyball you need to be with at least 6 players if you have more than 6 players you have players who you can use to switch other players. The ball comes in to the field with a serve. With the serve you can’t pass with your foot on the line. After the serve your touching the ball 1 to 3 times. The first ball is most of the time a pass, the second ball is a set-up, the third ball is an attack. Your playing 4 sets and sometimes 5, you can win a set when you have 25 points. When both off the teams have won 2 sets you need to play a fifth set, the fifth goes to 15 point.
What do you need?
Now I’m going to tell you about the things you need when you want to volleyball. The things you need to play volleyball are:
A court (a court need to have a net and lines 18 meters by 9 meters)
A volleyball (that is useful with volleyball)
Good shoes (when you play volleyball your ankles need good support)
Knee pads (you need that to dive to the ball)
Sport clothes (you need a t-shirt and sport shorts)
Teammates (it’s more fun if you play with others)
For games a referee (most team sports have a referee also volleyball)
Those are the things that I think are most important, but of course there are more things you can use, but aren’t necessary.
Positions and systems
Right now I’m going to give you some information about the positions and the deferent systems. The first system is the 2-4 system. That means there are two setters and four hitters, when the setter is a back player she’s the setter and when the setter is playing in the front she’s playing in the opposite hitter. You also have two middle blockers and two outside hitters.
The next system is the system that I’m playing named 1-5. When you’re playing 1-5 you’re having five hitters and only one setter. The positions in that system are: one setter, two middle blockers two outside hitters, and one opposite hitter.
There also is a 1-5 system with a libero. A libero is someone who is super good in giving a pass, but a libero can’t play in the front of the court. When a libero is supposed to go to the front there is coming a other player in the court and the libero need to go to the side.
Conclusion
In short volleyball is a fun game. You’re playing volleyball with 6 or more people. The ball comes in to the field with a serve, the first ball is a pass, the second ball is a set an the last ball is an attack. The opponent is trying to gave a pass and a set and an attack, that will keeps happening until the ball falls on the ground. The most important thing you need is a volleyball. There are more than just one system. There are lost of it, but people most use 1-5 or 2-4. I hope you liked my blog and leant something about it. Good bye.
