StepWhat the blocker does
1Stay close to the net and keep hands at shoulder level with palms facing the net.
2Follow the hitter's movement and keep your eyes on them.
3Wait for the opponent to jump first.
4Jump immediately after the attacker jumps.
5While the ball is in the air, reach and stretch your hands over the net.
6Angle your hands and look for the ball.

When you use it

Reach for this when asked how a blocker should position and move for a single block, step by step.

Watch out

Do not jump before the attacker. Wait for the opponent to jump first, then jump immediately after. Keep the wrists rigid, the five fingers spread wide, and the arms straight.

When you use it

Reach for this when a question asks how many time-outs or substitutions a team may use, or which interruptions count as regular game interruptions.

Watch out

A team may request only two time-outs per set, each lasting 30 seconds, and only when the ball is out of play. A team may substitute six players per set. A starting player may be replaced only once per set and must re-enter in his or her original position. A libero is not counted as a substitution.

Practice questions on unit 5

10 multiple-choice questions written against this chapter, each with its answer and the reason. Try one before you open the answer.

Question 1

How many time-outs can a team request in one set?

  1. A.1
  2. B.2
  3. C.4
  4. D.6
Show the answer and why

Answer: B 2

Why

The rule says that a team can request only two time-outs per set. A time-out for an injured player is a special case and is not counted as one of these two.

Question 2

How long is one time-out in volleyball?

  1. A.15 seconds
  2. B.30 seconds
  3. C.60 seconds
  4. D.3 minutes
Show the answer and why

Answer: B 30 seconds

Why

The amount of time given for a time-out is 30 seconds only. Three minutes is the length of an interval between sets, not a time-out.

Question 3

How long does an interval between sets last?

  1. A.30 seconds
  2. B.1 minute
  3. C.3 minutes
  4. D.10 minutes
Show the answer and why

Answer: C 3 minutes

Why

An interval is the time between sets, and all intervals last three minutes.

Question 4

Which of the following is a regular game interruption in volleyball?

  1. A.Delay
  2. B.Time-out
  3. C.Fair play
  4. D.Blocking
Show the answer and why

Answer: B Time-out

Why

The only regular game interruptions are time-outs and substitutions. A delay is an improper act that is punished with sanctions, not a regular interruption.

Question 5

How many players can a team substitute in one set?

  1. A.2
  2. B.4
  3. C.6
  4. D.8
Show the answer and why

Answer: C 6

Why

A team can substitute six players per set. The libero is not counted in this rule, because the libero can be changed in and out without using a team substitution.

Question 6

Which of the following is a rule for the libero player?

  1. A.The libero may serve.
  2. B.The libero may replace any player in a back-row position.
  3. C.The libero wears the same colour jersey as the team.
  4. D.The libero can come in and out only once per set.
Show the answer and why

Answer: B The libero may replace any player in a back-row position.

Why

The libero is allowed to replace any player in a back-row position. The libero may not serve, block or attempt to block, wears a jersey that contrasts with the team, and can come in and out an unlimited number of times.

Question 7

When a team requests a time-out, the referee makes a hand signal. What shape does this signal make?

  1. A.A circle
  2. B.A "T" shape
  3. C.A raised arm pointing up
  4. D.A flat palm facing the net
Show the answer and why

Answer: B A "T" shape

Why

To request a time-out, the referee should make a hand signal in the shape of a "T". This signal is shown in Figure 5.2 of the chapter.

Question 8

Who is responsible for requesting a time-out for the team?

  1. A.The referee
  2. B.The coach or team captain
  3. C.The libero
  4. D.A substitute player
Show the answer and why

Answer: B The coach or team captain

Why

The rule says that the coach or team captain is responsible to request a time-out. The referee gives the signal, but does not request it for the team.

Question 9

A team has already used its two regular time-outs in a set. One of its players is injured. What does the rule say?

  1. A.The team cannot request any more time-outs in that set.
  2. B.The time-out for the injured player is not counted as one of the two time-outs.
  3. C.The referee must give the team a three-minute interval.
  4. D.The team must substitute the injured player at once and cannot request a time-out.
Show the answer and why

Answer: B The time-out for the injured player is not counted as one of the two time-outs.

Why

A special time-out that is requested when a player is injured is not counted as one of the two time-outs. So the team can still ask for it even after using its two regular time-outs.

Question 10

Which type of blocking is said to be the most effective, because more hands are available to deflect the ball?

  1. A.Single block
  2. B.Double block
  3. C.Triple block
  4. D.Swing block
Show the answer and why

Answer: C Triple block

Why

Triple block is the most effective type of blocking, because all three front-row players jump in unison and have more hands to deflect the ball. Single block is the least effective type.
