The basic layout of a volleyball court consists of two side-by-side rectangles that measure 9 meters by 18 meters, separated by a center line that divides it into two equal halves. The back line on each side is at least 8 meters from the net, while the attack line is 4 meters from it.

As per FIVB guidelines and volleyball rules, an volleyball court is 18m (59ft) long and 9m (29.5ft) wide. The volleyball court is split into two halves of 9m (29.5ft) each and has a net. The top of the volleyball net is 2.43m (7.97ft) tall net for men’s and 2.24m (7.35ft) tall for women’s competition.

The court is divided into two halves, each side being 9 meters by 9 meters. On either side, a centerline 3 meters in length divides the halves into front and backcourt sections, while an attack line at 7 meters from the endline marks the beginning of the frontcourt section.

The international governing body for volleyball is Federation Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB). The playing court is 18m long x 9m wide and is surrounded by a free zone 3m wide on all sides. The free playing space is a minimum of 7m high from the playing surface.
