Answer 2

I would suggest asking your P.E/Gym teacher. But, to start you off....

Make a fist with one hand and cover it with the other. make sure you have a strong, firm triangle. This is pretty much the upper body bumping position. The swing for a bump is from your belly button to your chest/shoulders. Just give it a little power.

Setting may be a little harder to tell you over the internet. Put both hands above your head, make sure they are open hand and thrust them up when the ball comes.

Spiking is a more aggreesive approach to the ball. Depending on whether you are right-handed and left-handed.. Hit the ball with your right hand if you are right handed and vice versa. Smack it down on the other teams side.

Serving is kindof tossing the ball over to the other side. You have to hold the ball with your left handed just even with your chest/stomach(I'm pretending your right-handed) and with your right hand, make a fist and bring it back behind you, kindof underhand,and come through into the ball. One of the biggest misktakes people make is throwing it up in the air and hitting it. Dont do that. I just taught you underhand serving. i wouldnt try overhand serving for a while!!!

Rules...hmm...Dont hit the ball out of bounds.

you have 6 people on your team. on the court at once. So you only get three hits on one side. at a time. so lets say the other team serves, you bump it to a teamate, your teamate bumps it to the setter ( or the person who lightly tosses the ball over the net) and the setter makes it over. Good job! But if you have to hit the ball 4 times or more, sorry youre out of luck. The other team gets a point. :( Also, you can not hit the ball twice in a row. If you bump the ball, step back and a teamate has to hit it if it didnt go over. Then you are free to hit it again.

Like I said, talk to your gym teacher. Volleyball is starting up again! Maybe you would have fun being on the team. :)

Answer 3

Do a search on google or yahoo and you will find tons of sites with rules for volleyball.  It isn't necessary that people email you--the info is out there.

Answer 4

Well first of all, there may be a volleyball camp near your area that you could attend. Or if you know someone who plays, they could teach you the rules.

And if neither of those works, then just meet the coach and explain to him/her that your new at volleyball, but you would like to learn the rules and how to play. It's really not that hard, and there aren't many rules hard to understand.

Don't catch the ball, dont hit twice in a row, dont hit the net, dont step over the mid-line, (or the service line when serving)... those are pretty much the basics! Believe me, it won't take long to get the concept of the game.

Answer 6

Here are some of the rules in simple words:



1.) You may not touch the net, go over the net, or go under the net.

2.) You have to serve from a certain spot (determined by the referee), and may not go past it.

3.) You may not carry the ball (usually accidental when setting). Carrying means to hold the ball instead of hitting it, even if it is for 1/2 a second.

4.) Your team may only hit the ball three times before hitting it over the net.

5.) If when you serve the ball does not make it over the net, it is the other team's serve.

6.) If the ball lands on your side after your team served, it is the other team's serve (same other way around).

7.) If the ball lands on your side after the other team served, they get a point (same other way around).
