  • The playing field is 18 m long and 9 m wide like in volleyball.
  • It is played with a soccer ball (officially a Mikasa FT5).
  • Each game consists of two sets of up to 12 or 15 points, if there is a tie after the second set, a third set is played.
  • Players are allowed to hold the ball for up to one second.
  • Any player on a team can start the game with the service ( saque de batida ) . You take the ball with one hand, throw it slightly upwards and hit or lift it up or down with the same hand / arm. In contrast to volleyball, which is played from back to front.
  • The result is noted after service changes and points:
  1. Each change means half a point, ie two service changes in a row earn the team one point.
  • The service is played from the service area, a square that is usually marked at each corner of the playing field. It may only be carried out with the hands.
  • The player's heel must not lift when serving, otherwise the referee will declare it invalid and the opposing team will receive the service.
  • The winner is the one who wins two sets. If both teams win a set, a third set is played.

Lineup

The structure of the game is similar to that of volleyball:

  • Each team consists of three players:
  1. The colocador (front player similar to the middle blocker of normal volleyball, literally "belayer"),
  2. The volador (back player who has to change quickly from left to right, literally "flier"), and
  3. The servidor (second front player, literally "player").

Prohibitions

One must not:

  • touch the net with your hands,
  • cross the line under the net.

The sports officials have recently issued new rules for the national championships. For example, the serve can be served from anywhere as long as the player's foot remains in the service area. The net height is a maximum of 2.85 meters, but can be changed if z. B. the captains of the teams and the referee decide together on the height of the net.
