What are the court dimensions of a regulation volleyball court?
Answer
60' X 30'
The court dimensions of a regulation indoor volleyball court are 60 feet by 30 feet. In metric measurements, the same court is 18 metres long and 9 metres wide, with a net dividing it into two equal 9-by-9-metre team areas.
These dimensions are specified by international volleyball rules and are used for standard six-player indoor volleyball. The court has a 3-metre attack line on each side of the net, separating the front zone from the back zone. The net height differs by competition: it is generally 2.43 metres for men’s play and 2.24 metres for women’s play.
A frequent mistake is using the dimensions of a beach-volleyball court, which is smaller at 16 by 8 metres. Players may also confuse the playing court with the full free zone around it, which extends beyond the boundary lines and provides room for movement and safe play. The quoted 60-by-30-foot measurement refers to the court itself.
