What You Don't Know About the Volleyball Court (Net & Taraflex Explained)

Every rally happens between two things almost nobody looks at closely: the net above you and the floor under your feet. In episode 2 of Volleyball Decoded we take both apart in 3D, one layer at a time, and explain the rules that come with them. You will learn: the size of a competition net, its 10 cm mesh, and the top, bottom and side bands what the antennas are for, and how they build the crossing space how high the net is (2.43 m for men, 2.24 m for women) and how the referee checks it when touching the net is allowed and when it is a fault why top volleyball is played on a synthetic floor like Taraflex, used since the 1976 Montreal Olympics the four layers inside 7 mm of floor: coating, wear layer, fibreglass grid and closed-cell foam the artificial athlete test, point-elastic vs wooden sprung floors, ball rebound, grip and slide Our volleyball coaching app for drills, line-ups and 3D tactics: https://volleydrillstudio.app Chapters 0:00 What you don't know about the court 0:27 Part 1: the net 1:07 The top band, the bottom band and the side bands 2:06 The antennas and the crossing space 2:51 How high is the net? 3:18 Touching the net: allowed or a fault? 4:15 Part 2: the floor 4:39 Taraflex, since Montreal 1976 5:06 Seven millimeters, four layers 6:01 The artificial athlete test 6:33 Point elastic vs a wooden sprung floor 7:08 Grip and slide 7:27 The whole court in one minute #volleyball #volleyballdecoded #volleyballcoach #volleyballrules #volleydrillstudio
