Outline: International Standard Volleyball Court Design
I. Introduction
General description of the drawing/image (volleyball court plan view).
Main content: The standard dimensions and areas of a volleyball court according to international regulations (typically F.I.V.B).
II. Overall Dimensions
Playing Area (Court):
* Length: 18 meters (m).
* Width: 9 meters (m).
Free Zone:
* Minimum width along the side lines: 3 meters (m).
* Minimum width along the end lines (behind the end line): 3 meters (m).
Total Playing Area (Playing Area + Free Zone):
* Total Length (including free zone): 24 meters (m) (3m + 18m + 3m).
* Total Width (including free zone): 15 meters (m) (3m + 9m + 3m).
III. Playing Area (Court) Details (18m x 9m Court)
Boundary Lines:
* The court boundary lines (side lines and end lines) have a standard width. (Image not explicitly noted, standard is usually 5cm).
Center Line:
* Divides the court into two equal parts (9m x 9m) for each team.
* Located directly under the net.
Attack Line (3-meter line):
* Located 3 meters (m) from the Center Line.
* Limits the Front Zone.
Front Zone:
* A 3-meter (m) wide area, located between the Center Line and the Attack Line.
* Where front-row players execute attacks at the net.
Back Zone:
* A 6-meter (m) wide area, located between the Attack Line and the End Line.
* Where back-row players execute serves, defense, and attacks from behind the 3m line.
End Line:
* The boundary at the back of the court.
Side Line:
* The boundaries along the sides of the court.
IV. Free Zone

* Has a minimum width of 3 meters in all directions.
* Used for players to move outside the court when retrieving balls or preparing for attack/defense.
V. Net and Posts
Net: Located directly over the Center Line, dividing the court in half.
Posts (Pole):
* Located on either side of the court.
* According to international standards (F.I.V.B), the posts are typically placed 1.00 meter (m) away from the side lines. (The illustration in the drawing may only show the relative position at the outer edge of the free zone area).
* The height of the net varies depending on gender and age group.
VI. Conclusion (Standardization)
* These dimensions and area divisions are mandatory to ensure fairness and safety in international level volleyball competition.
* This design serves as the basis for building and marking professional volleyball courts.
