HOW TO ORGANISE A VOLLEYBALL COURT - WHAT TO EQUIP IT WITH TO ENJOY THE GAME?

Many of us have a childhood memory of organising a game of volleyball or other team sports with our neighbourhood peers. Usually the game took place on the lawn, with a neighbour's washing line acting as a net. Today, children and young people have many sports complexes at their disposal. On the other hand, there are places where a suitable volleyball court is still missing or occupied for most of the day. Hence, many people wonder how to organise a volleyball court in the garden, on the plot behind the house or in any other available place. We will tell you what to look out for and what equipment to get to enjoy a great game with the whole team.

Each sport has its own special requirements, such as court dimensions or equipment that affects comfort, but above all the rules of the game. When organising a volleyball court, you should first of all determine how much space you have available. The professional dimensions of a volleyball court are 18 m x 9 m. However, the free zone, which is a minimum of 3 metres, must still be taken into account. If you don't have that much space, you can reduce the size of the court proportionally.

Depending on where the court is located, weeds need to be removed, the ground levelled and the space around the court secured. Backstops are ideal for this purpose. They will effectively prevent the ball being thrown off the court, which could damage cars or windows of buildings in the vicinity.

Just like a professional volleyball court, an amateur volleyball court should have a full set of equipment necessary for the game. Volleyball posts will undoubtedly be its integral element. If the court is located outdoors, it is worth choosing aluminium posts resistant to atmospheric conditions such as rain, frost or high solar radiation. The court posts available in our range are mounted on sockets to ensure stability and safety for the players. In addition, the posts have a tensioning mechanism, so they perfectly stretch the net, which is equally important during play.

Speaking of the net, it is of course without doubt the most important part of the court. Volleyball nets should also be sturdy and weatherproof, especially if the courts are uncovered. It is not only the material of which the volleyball net is made that is important, but also the way in which the net is tensioned and the correct way of installing it that will influence its condition for years to come.

If you want to fully equip the volleyball court so that you can successfully organise real competitions, it is also worth buying a referee stand. Just like in any other sport, during volleyball the referee should have ideal conditions for observation. Therefore, the referee stand should be stable, safe and adjustable in height.

Volleyball accessories, such as a device for measuring and setting the height of the net or antennas and many others, are also indispensable during professional sport games. When thinking about what volleyball court equipment to collect, we cannot forget about the basic elements such as the net, but also such as signalling devices and other volleyball accessories. They affect the quality of the game, the comfort of the players and referee.
