Game Duration
A game consists of four quarters, each
lasting 10 minutes (FIBA rule, NBA is 12
minutes).
If the score is tied at the end of regulation,
overtime periods of 5 minutes are played
until a winner is determined.
Team Composition
Each team consists of five players on the
court at a time: two guards, two forwards,
and a center.
Teams can substitute players during
stoppages in play.
The Objective
The primary goal is to score by shooting
the ball through the opponent's hoop,
which is 3.05 meters (10 feet) above the
ground.
A field goal is worth 2 points, or 3 points if
made from beyond the three-point arc.
Free throws are worth 1 point each.
Possession & Dribbling
Players must dribble the ball (bounce it with one
hand) while moving.
After a player stops dribbling, they must either
pass or shoot.
A player is not allowed to "double-dribble" (start
dribbling again after stopping).
Shot Clock
The attacking team has 24 seconds (FIBA)
or 14 seconds (if they grab an offensive
rebound) to attempt a shot. If they don’t,
the ball is turned over to the opposing
team.
Violations
Traveling: Moving without dribbling the ball.
Double Dribble: Dribbling the ball, stopping, and then
starting to dribble again.
Backcourt Violation: The offensive team cannot take it
back across the line once the ball crosses midcourt.
Goal Tending: Blocking a shot on its way down toward the
basket or if it is on the rim.
3-Second Rule: An offensive player cannot stay in the key
(paint area) for more than three seconds without actively
attempting to score.
Foul
Personal Foul: Physical contact that
interferes with an opponent's ability to
play.
Team Fouls: When a team accumulates
a certain number of fouls (usually 4 per
quarter), the opponent is awarded free
throws for each additional foul.
Shooting Foul: If a player is fouled
while shooting, they are awarded free
throws (2 or 3, depending on where the
shot was taken).
Free Throw
When a player is fouled in the
act of shooting, they are
awarded free throws.
A free throw is worth 1 point.
The shooter gets 2 free
throws if they were fouled
while attempting a 2-point
shot, or 3 if fouled on a 3-
point attempt.
Substitutions
Teams can make substitutions during
stoppages in play.
Timeouts
Each team is allowed a certain
number of timeouts during the
game. The exact number varies
depending on the competition.

Team
Composition
Each team consists of six
players: three in the front row
(near the net) and three in the
back row (near the baseline).
Teams can make substitutions
during the match, with a limit on
how many substitutions per set.
Objective
The main goal is to send the ball over the
net, aiming to land it in the opponent’s
court.
A point is scored when the ball touches
the floor in the opponent's court, when the
opponent commits a fault, or when they
fail to return the ball properly.
Court
Dimensions
The court is 18 meters long and
9 meters wide, divided into two
equal halves by a net.
The net height is 2.43 meters for
men and 2.24 meters for women
(in indoor volleyball).
Match Format
A match is played in a best-of-five set format.
The first team to score 25 points wins a set, with
a team needing at least a 2-point lead to win the
set. If the match goes to a fifth set, it is played to
15 points, again with a 2 point lead required.
A team must win at least three sets to win the
match.
Serving
The game begins with a serve, where the
server must stand behind the back line.
The ball must be served over the net and into
the opponent's court.
A player is allowed to serve after winning a
rally, and the serving team rotates positions
clockwise after each point.
Rally
A rally begins when the ball is served and
continues until the ball hits the ground, goes out
of bounds, or a fault is committed.
Each team is allowed a maximum of three
touches per possession to return the ball.
Common touches are: pass (or bump), set, and
attack (spike).
A team must not hit the ball more than three
times in succession.
Scoring System
Volleyball uses "rally scoring," meaning a point is awarded on every rally, regardless of
which team served.
Points are scored when the ball lands in the opponent's court, or if the opponent commits a
fault (such as hitting the net, a player touching the net, or failing to return the ball properly).
Rotations
Teams must rotate positions in a clockwise
direction each time they win the serve.
The player in the back-right position serves, and
after serving, the team rotates to new positions.
Faults
Double Hit: A player hits the ball twice
consecutively.
Carry: A player holds or "lifts" the ball
instead of making a clean contact.
Net Violation: A player touches the net
during play.
Foot Fault: When serving, a server steps on
or over the service line.
Out of Bounds: The ball lands outside the
boundaries of the court.
Libero
The libero is a specialized defensive player who cannot attack the ball above the net's
height or serve, block, or attempt to block. They wear a different color jersey and can
replace any back-row player without notifying the referee.
Timeouts
Teams are allowed two 30-second
timeouts per set.
Substitutions
Teams can make a limited number of substitutions during a set, typically six per set in
international competition.
