help Volleyball FAQ
How many players are on an indoor volleyball court, and do they rotate?
Under FIVB basic rules, six players per team are on court, and the team rotates one position clockwise when it wins back the serve. A rally win gives the receiving team both a point and the right to serve. [FIVB basic volleyball rules](https://www.fivb.com/volleyball/the-game/basic-rules/)
How many points do you need to win an indoor volleyball set?
The first four sets are played to 25 points, and the deciding fifth set is played to 15. A team must lead by two points, so 25-24 does not end a set. [FIVB basic volleyball rules](https://www.fivb.com/volleyball/the-game/basic-rules/)
What is a libero allowed to do in volleyball?
The libero is a specialist used for back-row defense, and FIVB introduced the role in 1998. The libero cannot stay on court for the entire match because replacements must follow the libero rules. [FIVB basic volleyball rules](https://www.fivb.com/volleyball/the-game/basic-rules/)
How is beach volleyball different from six-player indoor volleyball?
FIVB beach volleyball uses two players per team on a 16-by-8-meter sand court, with no substitutions during a game. Indoor volleyball uses six players on an 18-by-9-meter court, so the formats demand different coverage and rotation skills.
