Volleyball Quiz: What Do You Know About Volleyball?

A net is an open-meshed fabric barricade that is used to divide a court in half in sports such as volleyball and tennis. It is placed vertically in the middle of the court and acts as a barrier over which the ball must be hit during the game. The purpose of the net is to separate the two sides of the court and create a boundary for the players to play within. The correct answer describes the net accurately and clearly identifies its role in the game.

When the ball is served to a team, that team can hit the ball up to three times before it must be returned over the net to the opposing team. These hits usually consist of a bump (pass), set, and spike, but any combination of three hits is allowed. If the ball is not sent over the net within three hits, the opposing team wins the point.

The act of transferring the ball from one player to a teammate who is in a better position to advance the ball is known as a pass. This can be done using a forearm pass (bump) or an overhead pass (set). The purpose of a pass is to maintain control of the ball and set up a play for the team. A serve, on the other hand, is the action of putting the ball into play at the beginning of a rally. A block refers to a defensive move to stop the opponent's attack. Rotation is the movement of players in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction to different positions on the court.

The libero is a specialized defensive player in volleyball who is restricted to playing in the back row. The libero cannot serve (except in specific leagues where this rule is modified), block, or attempt to block, and cannot attack the ball if it is entirely above the net's height. The libero wears a different color jersey to be easily identifiable and is often the team's best passer and defender, providing stability and consistency in receiving serves and playing defense.

This statement is stating that a player is not allowed to hit twice in a row. In other words, after a player hits, they must wait for another player to take their turn before they can hit again. Therefore, the correct answer is true, as it correctly reflects the rule that a player cannot hit twice per succession.

According to standard volleyball rules, a team is allowed a maximum of three consecutive touches before they must send the ball over the net to the opposing team. This rule does not count the block as a touch. The three touches typically involve a pass (or dig), a set, and a spike or attack, which are strategically used to set up the ball for an offensive strike against the opposing team. Exceeding three touches on one side of the court without the ball crossing over the net results in a point for the opposing team.

A team rotates in a clockwise manner. This means that each member of the team moves or shifts positions in a direction that follows the movement of the hands of a clock. This rotation can be used in various team activities or sports where members need to change positions or take turns in a specific order.

Bumping the ball to a teammate is not a Volleyball violation. In Volleyball, players are allowed to use a bump pass to send the ball to a teammate, usually as the first touch to initiate an attack. This technique is commonly used to control the ball and set it up for a teammate to make a play. Violations in Volleyball include stepping on the line of a serve, failure to serve the ball over the net, and carrying the ball when serving, but not bumping the ball to a teammate.

At the beginning of the game, or the tiebreaker set in volleyball, the team that will begin serving is determined by a coin toss. This method ensures a fair and unbiased decision regarding which team initiates the serving.
