Eclipse Ball Notes
The game is started with a forehand as one would use playing tennis. Once
the ball goes over the net the other team must return it. If the ball
bounces more than 2 times then a point is awarded to the other team. Also,
if the same person hits the ball two times in a row, it is called a double-
hit. A point is then awarded to the other team. The first team to score 15
points and be ahead by 2 points is the winning team. The boundaries are the
half court line, baseline and the last black line at the back of the court.
You must rotate as you would in volleyball. If the ball hits the rafters
then you can play it, but it has to land on your side of the court. If it
lands on the other side, then that team gets a point.
Tennis skills used in the game are the forehand, backhand, volley and
overhead. Skill related fitness componets are speed, agility, coordination,
balance and power.
Play it means that you are playing a ball that the opponent hit out-of-
bounds. If you win that point the your team is awarded 2 points.
Volleyball Notes
History
William Morgan invented volleyball in 1895 in Massachusetts. He used the
inside of a basketball for the ball. He also used tennis nets. Now the
height of the net for women is 7"4 and 1/4 inch. The men's height is 8 feet.
Rules
You can not have more than than 3 hits when getting the ball over the net. A
block does not count as a hit. If the same person hits the ball 2 times in a
row, it is called a double hit. This results in a point for the other team.
If you make contact with the net at anytime, it is a point for the other
team. If the ball lands on the line it is considered in and the other team
gets a point. If the ball hits the rafters and goes over the net, it is a
point for the other team. If you miss a serve it is a point for the other
team.
There are 6 players on the court for each team. 3 in the front row and 3 in
the back row. You rotate when your team wins the serve. This is called a
side out. Each time the ball is put in play a point is scored. This is
called rally scoring.
In order to win a game you must score 25 points and win by 2 points. In
order to win a match you must win 2 out of 3 games.
