(a) Draw a neat diagram of a Volleyball court with all its dimensions and specifications.
(b) A player in the back row crosses the attack line while smashing the ball. What will be the decision of the Referee?
(c) During a Volleyball match, a player from Team A executes a serve. The ball travels over the net and lands on the service line of Team B’s court. What should be the Referee’s decision in this situation?
Answer
Answer
AI(a) Specifications of a standard Volleyball court:
1. Dimensions: 18 metres in length and 9 metres in width, divided into two equal 9m x 9m halves by a centre line.
2. Attack line: Drawn across each court half 3 metres parallel to the centre line, demarcating the front zone and back zone.
3. Service zone: A 9-metre wide area behind the end line, extending indefinitely in depth.
4. Net height: 2.43 metres for men and 2.24 metres for women, with antenna rods extending 80 cm above the net on either side aligned over the sidelines.
(b) If a back-row player completes an attack hit from inside the front zone (after stepping on or crossing the 3-metre attack line) while the ball is entirely above the top of the net, the Referee will whistle an 'Attack-hit fault by a back-row player'. The rally ends, and a point and service are awarded to the opposing team.
(c) The Referee will award a point and service to Team A ('In' / Service Ace). The boundary lines (including the end line / service line) are part of the playing court; therefore, a ball landing on the line is legally inside the court.
