Understanding
Volleyball Court Positions
Explore easy to understand volleyball court positions information.
You'll find simple information how to line up players on the volleyball
court.
Volleyball
Positions on the Court
Players form "couples"
To keep things simple, imagine there a pair for each player on the
court - players form "couples".
On the following picture, position 4 player (left front, LF)
couples with
- position 3 player (middle front, MF) and
- position 5 player
(left back, LB).
How to
measure volleyball court positions between two players?
Location of the players is measured by the sideline or centerline. Some
part of the body (usually foot) has to touch the ground closer
than couple's part of the body.
Example of Volleyball Court Positions
Now look at the picture above or the picture below – these following
rules has to be followed:
To keep things legal on the serve moment, position 4 player (LF) needs
to be placed
- on the left side of the position 3 player (MF,
middle front)
AND
- in front of the position 5 player (LB, left
back)
In the following picture you’ll see those couples in the serve receive
line up. As you can see both of those requirements are filled,
therefore this serve receive lineup is legal.

or Fault Volleyball Positions?

themselves to the court.

“correct”. If there is something illegal, picture states “fault”.
