    From the USA Volleyball Rule Book...

    --

    CEILING HEIGHT
    The playing space is free from any obstructions to a height of 7 m (23') from the playing surface.

    PLAYING COURT
    The playing court measures 18 m x 9 m (59' x 29'6").

    CENTER LINE
    The axis of the center line divides the court into two team courts measuring 9m x 9 m (29'6" x 29'6") each.

    LINES
    All lines on the court are 5 cm (2") wide.

    BOUNDARY LINES
    Boundary lines: Two sidelines and two end lines mark the playing court. All boundary lines are drawn inside the the dimensions of the playing court.

    ATTACK LINES
    Attack lines are drawn in each team court so that the edge of the attack line farthest from the center line is 3 m (9'10") from the axis of the center line.
    Extensions of the attack lines outside the court shall be marked with five 6" lines spaced 8" apart to a total length of 70" (for national competition).

    AREA AROUND THE COURT (FREE ZONE)
    The free zone surrounds the court with a recommended minimum width of 2 m (6'6").

    NET HEIGHT

    The height of the net shall be 2.43 m (7’ 11 5/8”) for men and 2.24 m (7’ 4 1/8”) for women.

    The net height is measured from the center of the playing court with a measuring device.

    The two ends of the net (over the sidelines) must both be at the same height from the playing surface and must not exceed the official height by more than 2 cm (3/4").

    The height of the net may vary for specific age groups.
