B: FACILITIES

 

1.  What size is the court?

   

    FIVB, USAV, CBVA, WPVA

     Both indoor and outdoor courts are 18m x 9m (29'6" x 59').

     Indoor courts also include an attack area designated by

     a line 3m (9'10") back from the center line.

     Lines on the court are 5cm (2" wide).

 

    AVP

     The playing court is 60' long by 30' wide.

 

2.  Are the lines in or out?

    The key to most line rules is that the line is part of the area it

    delineates. Also, all lines extend infinitely beyond the court (except

    the center line).

 

        1) The side and end lines are PART OF THE COURT (IN)

               2) Lines should be 5cm (2") wide
