Mark your space
Mark it once. Every card in volleyball starts from this space and adds what it needs.
The space
A wall and a clear floor of 3 m by 3 m for solo and pair work; a court of 9 m by 4.5 m with a net at 2 m or a rope for 2 v 2 and 4 v 4 (lines as on a badminton court).
Where it fits: terrace, lane, hall, park, beach.
Mark in this order
- A net or rope line
- A serving line
- A target square on the wall or the floor
Chalk or tape is enough. Tick each mark as you make it.
Practice kit first
A lighter or soft volleyball (a beach ball or balloon at the start), a rope or a band, cones, a bucket.
Safety
Clear the floor; no stepping under the net; knee pads for floor digs; do not block with the face; sun and water outdoors.
A light ball that does not hurt the fingers; no watches or jewellery, long hair tied back; spare balls in a container, not on the floor; padded posts; a 2 m clear zone round the court; enclosed shoes with non-slip soles.
