During the year, 1895 volleyball wasn’t considered to be a sport not until 1964 it became part of the summer Olympics in Tokyo.

It is considered an important weapon of the game. Winning or losing a game can depend on whether a player dominates the serve or not. Failing to place the serve in the right place can mean a player gives away ‘free’ points to his opponent. This is called committing a double fault. A player has two opportunities per point to place the ball in the correct area across the net or the other player automatically receives a point. Having a weak serve that the other player can return too easily, and aggressively, is also a problem as points will be lost too easily. There are several types of serves such as topspin, topspin-slice, flat, slice, kick and many others, all which aim to make it difficult, if not impossible, for the receiver to return the

Muscular strength is an overall area that is necessary to perform most, if not all, actions in volleyball, whether it be a controlled pass, accurate set, or aggressive serve. If you have greater muscular strength, you will be able to exhibit a greater amount of force during a single action, therefore leaving a greater impact. Suppose you are zone-serving to the back-left section, in order to have a vigorous serve to that specific area, you need to have good muscular strength in your arms to get the ball there. On the contrary, now suppose you are on the defending side of the server and the ball is coming at you. You need to get in a low position with your legs and be able to adjust as the ball approaches. Here, muscular strength in your legs are being worked. This athletic-position stance also can cover areas of endurance, such as muscular endurance, since you are standing and holding a squat position for an extended amount of time, and are most likely to move in a similar low position as well. Furthermore, cardiorespiratory endurance can also be covered to some extent in volleyball. If the teams are matched up well, both sides will have difficulty scoring against one another and they will play continuously for a longer period of time. Also, the game generally goes to 25 points per game, with multiple games in a match, meaning that players are up and running around for some time. In general, volleyball covers many key aspects and components of

The period of 1865 to 1950 was critical to the formation of “Modern” sport that is recognized today. In an article by Allen Guttmann titled From Ritual to Record: the nature of modern sport, Guttmann outlines seven characteristics that played a central role in the development of sports. These concepts were created as a sociological history of sports and took into place both American and European competitions. Guttmann’s notions of secularism, rationalization, bureaucracy and quantification, among others, all advanced the culture of sports; yet the most important of the stated characteristics is equality.

The sport that I am currently playing and am researching for my assignment is netball.

First, serving from a closer area would be beneficial so that the serves are more likely to go over the net. A serve is more likely to go over the net because it's a shorter distance.

In the game of volleyball there are many physical objects and systems of symbols that people use to accomplish this activity—one of the main tools being a volleyball. Without a volleyball there would be no way to play a game or even practice. Another tool needed to play an actual game of volleyball is a net. A net is used to divide the court in half and forces players to put the ball over the net at a certain height. Another needed necessity to accomplish this activity, is the book of rules. It is needed, as a player needs to know how to play the game so they can learn what to do and what not to do. A coach needs to know how the game works so they can teach their players the correct way to help them succeed. A referee needs to know how the game works so they can call out mistakes and make a call on the scoring of the points.
