Baseline
The baseline, also known as the end line, marks the rear boundary of the court. It's 8 meters (26.2 feet) long and forms part of the playing area. During serves, players must not touch or cross this line before making contact with the ball.
Referee stand
The referee stand, or podium, is positioned at one end of the net, outside the playing area. It's typically 1.7 to 2.1 meters (5.6 to 6.9 feet) high, allowing the first referee to have a clear view of the entire court.The stand must be stable, safe for the referee to climb, and padded to prevent player injuries in case of collision.
Sideline
The sidelines are the two lines that run the length of the court, measuring 16 meters (52.5 feet) each. They define the lateral boundaries of the playing area. Any ball landing on or inside these lines is considered in play.
Free zone
The free zone is an area surrounding the court on all sides, extending at least 3 meters (9.8 feet) from the boundary lines. This space allows players to chase after balls and make plays without obstruction. In official FIVB competitions, the free zone is typically 5-6 meters (16.4-19.7 feet) wide.
Net
The net is 8.5 meters (27.9 feet) long and 1 meter (3.3 feet) wide. Net height varies by gender and age group:
Men: 2.43 meters (7.97 feet)
Women: 2.24 meters (7.35 feet)
16 years and younger: 2.24 meters (7.35 feet)
14 years and younger: 2.12 meters (6.96 feet)
12 years and younger: 2.00 meters (6.56 feet)
Service zone
The service zone is the area behind the baseline, extending to the end of the free zone. It spans the entire width of the court (8 meters or 26.2 feet). Players must serve from within this zone, giving them flexibility in their serving position. The depth of this zone depends on the size of the free zone.
Sand depth
The sand should be at least 40 cm (15.7 inches) deep on average7. It should be as free of dust as possible, with a grain size between 0.063 and 2 mm, without any binding components.
Posts
The net posts should be fixed and stand-alone, without guy-wires. They must be padded to protect players from injury.
Beach volleyball court
The beach volleyball court measures 16 meters (52.5 feet) in length and 8 meters (26.2 feet) in width. This creates a playing area of 8x8 meters for each team. The court is smaller than an indoor volleyball court to increase the game's pace and challenge.
