Volleyball is an exciting team sport where two teams of six
players compete to score points by grounding the ball on the
opponent’s court. In the Premier Volleyball League (PVL), matches
follow a structured format determining the winning team.
Match Format
Best-of-five sets: The first team to win three sets claims
victory.
Scoring System
Rally scoring: A point is awarded on every rally, regardless of
which team served.
The team that wins a rally earns the right to serve the ball for
the next play.
Sets 1-4
The first team to reach 25 points wins the set.
A team must win by at least two points (e.g., 25-23).
If the score is tied at 24-24, play continues until one team
secures a two-point lead.
Set 5 (if necessary)
The first team to reach 15 points wins the set.
A two-point lead is required to secure the victory (e.g., 15-13).
If the score is tied at 14-14, play continues until one team
achieves a two-point advantage.
Serve - A player from the serving team starts
the rally by hitting the ball over the net from behind the end
line.
Rally - Each team can hit the ball thrice before
returning it over the net.
Attack - Players attempt to spike the ball over
the net to score points.
Block - Players at the net jump to block an
opponent’s attack and prevent the ball from crossing.
Dig - Defensive players dive or react quickly to
stop the ball from hitting the court.
Volleyball demands teamwork, strategy, and athleticism, making it
a thrilling and fast-paced sport. Don't miss the action - watch
