NET
Net is strung 2.43 m for men and 2..24 m for women from the surface of the center line. The net should be stretched enough to make it firm and steady.

BALL
Ball has rubber bladder and cased in flexible leather or synthetic leather of the three colors. Ball circumference must be 65-67 cm and must weigh from 260-280 grams. Official competition ball should be tri-colored.

A player stands behind the baseline and hits the ball, in an attempt to drive it into the opponent's court. Their main objective is to make it land inside the court; it is also desirable to set the ball's direction, speed and acceleration so that it becomes difficult for the receiver to handle it properly. A serve is called an "ace" when the ball lands directly onto the court or travels outside after being touched by an opponent.

refers to whether the player strikes the ball from below, at waist level, or first tosses the ball in the air and then hits it above shoulder level. Underhand serve is considered very easy to receive and is not generally employed in international competitions.

an overhand serve where the ball is first tossed high in the air, then the player makes a timed approach and jumps to make contact with the ball. There is usually much topspin imparted on the ball. This is the most popular serve amongst college and professional teams.

an overhand serve where the ball is hit with no spin so that its path becomes unpredictable. Can be administered while jumping or standing.
