Volleyball Court
The divided rectangular court for the six-a-side team sport/Sports
A regulation indoor volleyball court is 18 m long and 9 m wide, divided into two equal halves by a net. The net height is 2.43 m for men and 2.24 m for women. A free zone of at least 3 m (5 m in FIVB World Championship play) surrounds the court on all sides. The attack line is drawn 3 m from the center line on each side. The sport was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan in Holyoke, Massachusetts, as a less-strenuous alternative to basketball.
