Students who are talented in sports such as volleyball may apply for athletic scholarships to further their education while perfecting their athletic skills. The popularity of college sports in the United States has made athletic scholarships something which many high school students aspire to achieve. Many are looking for the most appropriate offers available to them. If they win such offers, they become college athletes.
In volleyball, there are six players on a team, with three positioned in the front row and three on the back row. After the ball is served, front line players may switch positions at the net. Each team is allowed a maximum of three hits at the ball per side. A single player may not hit the ball twice in succession. A block, however, is not considered a hit.
The game is played on a court measuring 18 meters in length and 9 meters in width. A pole (referred as an antenna) is placed on either side of the net perpendicular to the sideline, and is considered as a vertical extension of the side border of the court. A ball that is maneuvered over the net must bypass the antennae completely without making contact with them. Volleyball players have developed various skills such as spiking, passing, blocking, and setting, as well as inventing particular player positions. A ball is considered "out" if it hits an antenna, the floor completely outside the court, any of the net or cables outside the antennae, the referee stand or pole, and the ceiling above a non-playable area. Catching, holding, or throwing the ball are also not allowed.
When a player touches the ball while reaching over the net, it is considered a violation if the ball hasn't gotten past the vertical plane of the net. Stepping over the court centerline with any part of the player's body is also a violation. If it's only a player's hand or foot, the entire hand or entire foot must cross before it is considered a violation.
