Recently, very good friend invited to shoot a friendly volleyball match. It became really interesting to me, since I have not taken dynamic photos yet. All nature, forests, fields, meadows, cities and countries. And here is the real action! It is a pity that there was a small hall and there was absolutely nowhere to turn around. This is not my first time at volleyball competitions, and I have always been surprised at how dynamic this sport is. And in terms of energy costs, it will give odds to many sports.
Since the sport is interesting, and we know little about it, I will tell you some interesting facts.
Volleyball is one of the most massive sports games, which almost a billion people around the world are fond of at the household level. And the interest of spectators in professional volleyball matches in general is extremely high.
In 1984, the ball was first performed by Brazilian athletes in a jump. Thanks to such a serve, the force of hitting the ball has increased significantly, as a result of which it has become much more difficult to receive the serve. On the this moment it is the main serve in world volleyball.
The longest volleyball match took place in Kingston, USA. Its duration was 75 hours and 30 minutes.
The longest game in the history of volleyball was played in 2002 in the Italian Championship. The final score was 54:52 and it lasted 48 minutes. The fact is that, as in many sports, in order to win the game, the team must win two draws in a row, that is, win by two points.
In the movie Cast Away, where the famous Hollywood actor Tom Hanks played, a volleyball was used. Subsequently, it was sold at an online auction at a price of eighteen thousand four hundred dollars.
The fastest serve in an official match was performed by the Bulgarian Matej Kaziyski. Its feed speed was 132 km/h.
The record number of spectators at a volleyball match was registered in 1983 at a friendly match between the national teams of the USSR and Brazil. The game was played on football stadium"Maracana" (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). More than 100 thousand spectators attended.
In general, physics and dynamics during the game is simply mesmerizing.
There are many varieties of volleyball, branching off from the main sport. It's mini volleyball Beach volleyball, park volleyball, kertnball, pionerball. In kertball, unlike regular volleyball, the net is replaced by a solid fabric, which reduces the visibility of the opponent.
Volleyball is believed to have been played for the first time in a Young Christian Association college. February 9, 1895 teacher of physical education, William J. Morgan, invited his students to compete in throwing the camera of a basketball over a tennis net. The net was installed at a height of 197 cm. Morgan did not limit the number of his wards in each team. Thus, William Morgan is the founder of volleyball.
The ball flies here at about 90 km / h and this is not a pro.
Coaches pay special attention to the jumping ability of athletes. For example, the average result of the youth team is 79 cm. This result can serve as a standard for the development of jumping ability among young volleyball players.
Volleyball is distinguished from other games by the fact that the goal of the game is to prevent the ball from falling onto the court. In addition, it is one of the few "artificial" games. The principle of the game of volleyball is not a game for time, but for the result.
Like these ones Interesting Facts, about a very popular and dynamic sport, enjoy watching.

It was in these legendary camps that children first began to play this simple form of volleyball.
Returning home, the children brought with them not only health and sunburn, but also new games - this is how pioneer ball spread throughout the USSR and became one of the most popular outdoor games.
Pioneerball has many interesting features.
Lack of official, only true rules
Since the game originated among children, and it is mainly played by schoolchildren in the yards, There are no general, absolute rules.
The number of players can be any, children can move clockwise after successfully hitting the ball, or stand the whole game on one part of the field.
Attention! In some cases, you can do two steps or jump before throwing the ball over the net, and sometimes the opponents agree that the projectile can only be hit from the spot and touch it one player can once.
Pioneerball does not have strict rules, they are kept on the basis that the opponents agreed on before the start of the match. The only general rule is: a ball that falls on the opponent's side earns a point for the opposing team.
The most popular yard outdoor game
During the Soviet era, up to until the end of the eighties, pioneerball was played everywhere - the game was one of the most popular due to the fact that it did not require equipment and everyone knew the rules.
Often, spontaneously, it arose on the beaches, and in forest clearings, and in wastelands - wherever there were schoolchildren and a ball for the game. In the absence of a net or rope children could draw a line on the ground- she became a visual barrier between the teams.
Two-ball version
Here the main thing is not to allow both balls to be on the same side at the same time grids. As soon as the balls appeared in the hands of the players of one team or fell to one side, the opposing team receives a point.
This variety is interesting when the players on each side more than five, and is not so much a game to win, but a fun running around the field with balls.
Entertainment leading up to volleyball
Today, pioneer ball is played mainly by children on sports grounds considering the game to be a simple variation of volleyball. Having learned to serve the ball well, to hit it high and high quality through the net with one or two hands, having trained the reaction and speed, schoolchildren can start playing directly in volleyball itself, where the rules are tougher.
Photo 1. Playing pioneer ball during a lesson at school. Thanks to this, students can prepare for volleyball.
beach variety
Most of the kids aged 8-12 years prefer to run around the field with the ball, rather than sunbathing on a towel next to their parents. Therefore, along with traditional volleyball, pioneer ball is often played on the beach. Rules beach game little different from the standard. If there is no classic platform with a net, then right on the water's edge, the boundaries of the field and the line dividing it into two parts are outlined.
The main thing is that there should be at least two players on each side. The rules are the same: lost the ball, could not hit it, threw it over the line, the opposing team counts a point for itself.
School time: summer, yard and friends - this is how childhood memories pop up. With them, school fun comes to mind - pioneer ball.
Today it is not difficult to teach a child such a team game, because the rules of pioneer ball have remained the same. It is played both in physical education classes and just with friends in the yard.
The game got its name from the wide popularity in the once widespread pioneer camps - today health facilities for children.
In order for the pioneer ball to pass correctly, it is necessary to prepare the scene: a platform with a net stretched in the middle. The goal is to beat off blows flying from rivals over the net by any means.

- When a kick flies from behind the net from opponents, the player must return it to the side of the opponent. Repeating the same action is allowed no more than 2 times.
- If the participant could not repel the blow, while allowing the ball to touch the body above the waist, the opponents count a point.

With the referee's whistle, the opponents try to throw him over the net - into the opponent's field of action. A minus point is assigned to the team that has two balls on the court at once.
If he touched the player or just hit the ground, a minus point is still counted. Provided that the balls collided in flight, the referee announces the start of a new game.
Note! Previously, there was a rule that the serving team loses the right to serve if the participants make a mistake.
Now not all pioneer ball lovers use this rule, so it’s worthwhile to specify the situation with the pitch in advance.
