Whether you're on the green or on the beach, use these simple guidelines to make your volleyball court ready for players.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • "Flat, level playing surface"
  • White Chalks
  • Long Tape Measure
  • Nets

Step1
Find a large, flat, level playing surface.
Step2
Mark off a rectangle 30 feet wide and 60 feet long.
Step3
Position your court so it's surrounded by a "free zone" extending 6 1/2 feet in each direction from the boundary lines.
Step4
Draw a line side to side at the center of the rectangle, separating the court into two 30-by-30-foot squares.
Step5
Draw an attack line in each square. Each attack line should be 9 feet 10 inches away from the center line.
Step6
Set up the net poles about 3 feet from each end of the center line, outside the court.
Step7
Affix the net to the poles so the top of the net is 8 feet above the ground.
Step8
Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding the proper way to attach the net.

Tips & Warnings

  • Boundary, center and attack lines should be drawn 2 inches wide.
  • For beach volleyball, use the same total court space, but don't worry about marking off the center and attack lines. Use rope to mark off boundary lines.
  • If you have any condition that would impair or limit your ability to engage in physical activity, please consult a physician before attempting this activity. This information is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.
