Volleyball is a game played by two 6-player teams. 

The teams line up on opposite sides of a net, and the object is to send the volleyball over the net within the court boundary lines so that the opposing team is unable to return it before it hits the ground. 

Any part of the body above the waist can be used to hit the ball.

Volleyball court dimensions: The court is rectangular in shape with boundary lines marked. The ball must be completely outside of the line to be considered out of bounds.

There are 6 rotational positions on the court. Before the ball is served, players must line up in two rows with 3 players in each row.

Once the ball is served, players may move anywhere on their own side of the net.

When there is a change of service, team members on the serving team rotate one position clockwise before serving. 

The order of rotation must stay constant for each set, but it may be changed before a new set begins. 

Before each serve, players on both sides of the net line up in each of the 6 rotational positions. Once the serve is in the air, players are free to move into their specific player positions

There are 5 player positions:

1. Setter – Runs the team's offense. Tries to make second contact with the ball and set it high in the air for the attackers to get a good, strong hit. Line up on the right front or right back of court.
2. Libero – Specialized defensive player whose job is to return spikes and serves. Subs in for anyone in the back row and must remain in the back row without rotating like the rest of the players.
3. Middle blocker (middle hitter) – Primary blocker and decoy hitter. Plays in the middle, front row.
4. Outside hitter (power hitter) – Most dependable hitters on the team that receive more sets than other players. Line up on left side of the court on the front and back row.
5. Opposite hitter (offside hitter) – Defensive blocker and backup setter. Plays on the right side of the net on the front row.

The referee blows a whistle to signal the time to serve. The serve may be either underhanded or overhanded, and this one can be also done as a jump serve.

Overhand serve:

Underhand serve:

Jump serve:

The player in the back right-hand corner of the serving team puts the ball into play by standing in the service area (anywhere behind the end line) and striking the ball with her hand or any part of her arm to send it over the net into the opponent's court. 

A service fault occurs if the ball:

• touches a member of the serving team.
• lands outside of the opponent's court.
• fails to go over the net.

A player keeps serving until his team commits a fault and a "side-out" is called. Then the other team gets to serve.
If a team fails to return the ball correctly over the net, a fault is recorded against it. If the team is serving, it loses the service. This is called "side-out."

SCORING

Points can be scored by either team and points are awarded after every fault. 

A set is won when a team reaches 25 points, but the team has to win by at least 2 points. If the game is tied at 24-24, play continues until one team has a 2-point lead. 

A match is the best-of-five sets. (Usually, if a fifth set is necessary, it's usually played to 15 points.) High school teams and younger often play the best-of-three sets to 25.

The importance of healthy eating habits and first aids

In this unit we will learn how to have a balance diet and how to treat common injuries related to P.E.

The food pyramid is going to help us learn how to get all the nutrients we need from the five food groups. It becomes essential to distinguish between healthy food and unhealthy food in order to maintain a healthy diet.

Let´s have a look to these pictures:

It is also important to know the functions that proteins, fats and carbohydrates carry out in our body:

The basketball court

Pay attention to some basic rules you should know:

• Walking/Traveling. Taking more than 'a step and a half' without dribbling the ball is traveling. Moving your pivot foot once you've stopped dribbling is traveling.

• Double Dribble. Dribbling the ball with both hands on the ball at the same time or picking up the dribble and then dribbling again is a double dribble.

• Carrying/palming. When a player dribbles the ball with his hand too far to the side of or, sometimes, even under the ball.

• Held ball. Occasionally, two or more opposing players will gain possession of the ball at the same time. In order to avoid a prolonged and/or violent tussle, the referee stops the action and awards the ball to one team or the other on a rotating basis.

• Backcourt. Once the offense has brought the ball across the mid-court line, they cannot go back across the line during possession. If they do, the ball is awarded to the other team to pass inbounds.
