1. Court Dimensions:

 The standard indoor volleyball court is rectangular and measures 18 meters (59 feet) in length and 9     meters (29.5 feet) in width.

The court is divided into two equal halves by a net that is positioned at the center.

2.  Net Height:

The net's height varies for men's and women's play. For men's volleyball, the net is set at a height of 2.43 meters (7 feet 11 5/8 inches), while for women's volleyball, it is set at 2.24 meters (7 feet 4 1/4 inches).

3. Antennas:

 Antennas are placed on each side of the net and extend vertically. They are used to determine whether a ball has crossed the net within the proper boundaries.

4.  Attack Line:

The attack line, also known as the 3-meter line, is located parallel to the net at a distance of 3 meters (10 feet) from it. Back-row players must not attack the ball in front of this line.

5. Service Zone:

The service zone is the area behind the end line from which players serve the ball.

6. Rotations:

Players must rotate in a clockwise manner when their team wins the serve from the opponents.

Scoring Rules:

1. Rally Scoring:

 In most modern volleyball games, rally scoring is used, meaning a point is scored on every serve, regardless of which team served.

2. Game Structure:

Volleyball is typically played in a best-of-five set format. The first team to reach 25 points wins a set, with the exception that if a fifth set is needed, it is played to 15 points.

3. Winning a Set:

To win a set, a team must score at least two points If the score reaches 24-24, play continues until one team has a two-point advantage.

4. Libero:

Liberos are specialized defensive players whose jerseys are a different color They have certain restrictions, such as not being allowed to attack the ball above the net.

5. Rotation Faults:

Players must rotate in a specific order, and failure to do so results in a rotation fault, leading to a point for the opposing team.

These are general guidelines, and specific rules can vary based on the level of play and the governing body (like FIVB for international play or USA Volleyball for the United States). Always refer to the specific rulebook for the version of the game you are participating in.
