Introduction:
Volleyball, while not as popular as football, softball,
basketball or soccer, is now being played on an interscholastic
level in all middle and high schools. There are separate seasons
for boys and girls. Some schools also offer co-ed teams.

activity.

game of volleyball
- To learn the rules, teamwork and rotations involved in the
game of volleyball.

Class Volleyball Rules:
We will have six to eight players on a team. The team captain
will set up the rotations. Games will be to 15 points. You can
only score points when you are serving. There will be no overhand
serves.
Coach Shore’s Thoughts:
Volleyball is very cost effective. It is fast becoming a
dominant interscholastic sport in middle and high schools.
Volleyball reaches many students that are not skilled enough to
play basketball. Good hand eye coordination and jumping ability
are a tremendous advantage in playing volleyball.
