Question

What is the difference between a match and a set(score of 25pts) in volleyball?

Answer 1

In USAV (club volleyball) or the FIVB (international volleyball), they set is to 25 points for non deciding sets.

In NFSHSA (junior high or high school) or NCAA (college), they play games.  (They use the word games instead of the word sets.)  NFSHSA uses 25 point games for non deciding games.  NCAA uses 30 point games for non deciding games.

The match consists of 2 out of  3 sets or games OR 3 out of 5 sets or games.  If the match goes to the deciding set or game, it is played to 15 points for all rules groups.

I know it is confusing.  You play games in the fall with your school team and then play sets with your club team in the spring.  They are the same thing, just different rules call them different things.

Answer 2

match is the whole game put together ( all 3 games) the  a set is . usually 3 small games played, and it is played the best 2 out of 3, & whoever has the best 2 out of 3 wins the match usally at the stop of 25 pts at each

Answer 3

in a match it is either best out of 3 games or best out of 5 games. my guess is that a set is referring to one game. if not they probably mean the same thing

Answer 4

in a game there are 3 sets or more commonly called games which go to 25 points the mstch is the hwole thing pu ttogether. the first team to win 2 out of 3 games wins the whole match

Answer 5

A match is the whole collection of games (what you are calling sets). Games are each of the best 2 of 3 or 3 of 5.

Answer 6

A match is the whole game, and a set is usually 3 games put together. whoever wins the 2 out of the three games wins the match.

Answer 7

a set consists of 3 matches

Answer 8

a match is a set of usually 3 or 5 games playing best out 3 or 5.  a game is one of the 3 or 5 games (usually go to 25pts.) in a match.

Answer 9

A match is the whole game put together, the set is usually 3 small games played, and it is played the best 2 out of 3, whoever has the best 2 out of 3 wins the match (the entire game)

I hope this makes sense! lol. :]
