Back zone
The back zone is located between the attack line and end line on each side of the court. It spans 6 meters (19.7 feet) in depth. Back-row players must stay behind the attack line when jumping to hit or block.
Center line
The center line runs directly beneath the net, dividing the court into two equal halves of 9 meters by 9 meters. It marks the boundary between opposing teams and ensures that players do not cross into their opponent's area during play.
Front zone
The front zone is the area between the center line and attack line on each side of the court. It spans 3 meters (9.8 feet) in depth and is where front-row players can attack, block, and set close to the net.
Attack line
The attack line is located 3 meters (9.8 feet) from the net on each side of the court. It runs parallel to the net and spans the full width of the court (9 meters). This line separates the front zone from the back zone and restricts back-row players from attacking or blocking in front of it.
Side line
The sidelines run perpendicular to the net and mark the lateral boundaries of the court. Each sideline is 18 meters (59 feet) long, extending from one end line to the other. Any ball landing on or inside these lines is considered in play.
End line
The end line, also known as the baseline, marks the back boundary of the court. It is 9 meters (29.5 feet) long and runs parallel to the net at both ends of the court. Players must serve from behind this line, and any ball landing outside it is considered out of bounds.
Out-of-bounds antenna
The out-of-bounds antennas are vertical rods attached to each side of the net, extending 80 cm (31.5 inches) above it. They mark the lateral boundaries of legal play above the net. Any ball that touches or crosses outside these antennas is considered out.
Service Area
The service area is located behind each end line, extending across its entire width (9 meters). Players must serve from within this area without stepping on or over the end line until after contacting the ball. The service area allows flexibility for strategic serving positions. These lines and zones ensure clear rules and boundaries for fair play in volleyball matches!
Net
The volleyball net spans 9.50-10 meters wide, positioned precisely in the court's center. For men's competitions, it stands 2.43 meters high, and for women's 2.24 meters. Constructed from black square mesh with a white reinforced top band, the net is suspended between two poles positioned 1 meter outside the sidelines. It serves as the critical boundary dividing teams and determining legal ball crossings during play.
