Pioneerball is sports game with a ball, in which teams compete on a court divided by a net. The game appeared in the 30s of the last century as a yard version of volleyball, and its name comes from the word “pioneer” - a participant in the children's communist organization of the USSR.
The game uses a volleyball ball (circumference 65-67 cm, weight up to 300g). The site has dimensions of 18x9m. After dividing by a net (height 2.43 m for men's teams and 2.24 m for women's teams), each team is in its own playing square of 9x9 m. In a team of 3 to 7 people, according to the number, the game square is divided into conditional sections (an assigned player is responsible for each). Participants of the game, having caught the ball ( distinctive feature from volleyball - the ball is caught and thrown, not returned), can take no more than 3 steps before throwing. When the ball hits the floor, the team that threw the ball scores a point. There are also a number of other situations of losing the ball - players of one team hit the ball more than 3 times in a row, a participant touched the net, hit the ball more than 2 times in a row, the ball touched the player below the waist, and others.
One game lasts up to 15 points, before the next one the players change fields. Usually 2 games are played, but if the final score is 1:1, then a third - decisive game - is played. There is a fascinating variation of this sport - pioneer ball with two balls. Interesting rule In this game, a point is awarded to the team whose field does not have a single ball (accordingly, there are 2 of them on the opponent’s court). Because of this, competitions become more dynamic and entertaining.
Today this type sports are more popular in schools and children's health camps on the territory of the CIS. Just like volleyball, this game has a beach version. There are many tournaments taking place various types Pioneerball, the winners of which meet at the Russian championship. Pioneerball demonstration games are also sometimes organized, which are included in the program of sports and other events.
School time: summer, yard and friends - this is how childhood memories emerge. With them comes the memory of school fun - pioneer ball.
Today teach a child like this team game It’s not difficult, because the rules of pioneer ball remain the same. It is played both in physical education classes and just with friends in the yard.
The game acquired its name from its wide popularity in the once widespread pioneer camps - today health institutions for children.
In order for pioneer ball to take place correctly, it is necessary to prepare the scene: a platform with a net stretched in the middle. The goal is to repel shots flying from opponents behind the net by any means.
Let's briefly consider the rules of pioneer ball for schoolchildren:
- Pioneerball involves two teams located in different sides grids One team can have from 3 to 8 players, the most suitable number of participants is 14 people.
- The site should be spacious and allow children to move freely around the field.
- If there is no volleyball net, then for the yard option you can string an ordinary clothesline, which will become a separator between opponents.
- The placement of players occurs at the command of the captain - he pre-plans which participant will be responsible for the front, back and middle zone. Pioneerball in the yard often involves a random arrangement.
- When a shot flies over the net from the opponents, the player must return it to the opponent's side. Repeating the same action is allowed no more than 2 times.
- If the participant was unable to return the blow, while allowing the ball to touch the body above the waist, the opponents count a point.
- Serving is allowed with one or two hands.
- Similar to volleyball, when serving, touching the net is not allowed, but when returning a shot, this option is possible.
- When one of the teams wins, the participants must change their positions in a clockwise direction.
- The winner is the team that scores from 10 to 15 points, without having a difference with the opponent of less than 2 points.
- The right to first serve is chosen by agreement or by drawing lots.
- Winning 2 games in a row brings an absolute win to the team.
- After the end of the initial game, the opponents change places.
Pioneer ball has no fundamental rules - they can be modified according to the agreement of the opponents. The basic provisions described above are considered basic - this is where pioneerball begins.
Additional rules of pioneerball
In addition to the classic version, there is a variation of pioneer ball with two balls. Then the rules change a little: at the start of the game, each team is given a ball.
With the referee's whistle, the opponents try to throw it over the net - into the opponent's field of action. A minus point is assigned to the team that has two balls on the court at once.
If he touched the player or simply hit the ground, the minus point still counts. If the balls collide in flight, the referee announces the start of a new game.
Pay attention! Previously, there was a rule that the serving team lost the right to serve if the participants made a mistake.
Now this rule is not used by all pioneer ball fans, so it is worth stipulating the serving situation in advance.
This game is often used in physical education lessons, with the teacher himself acting as a judge. He explains the rules to the students in detail, carries out the arrangement and announces the start.
So that schoolchildren do not get confused in the rules, it is worth considering them in more detail:
Innings | Touching the ball | Block or hit |
The first player goes out of bounds and throws towards the opposing team's field. | Can't touch game element twice in a row | You can hit a kick in the air with your hands, or by catching it and then throwing the ball towards your opponents. |
The ball is not allowed to touch the net | All participants of the same composition have the right to touch on their side no more than 3 times | All throws must be made over the net |
The serve is lost if the ball touches the floor | If the ball touches the ceiling during the game, the game can continue | The player who catches the shot can pass it to a partner or throw it over the net themselves |
The team is deprived of the right to serve if a player touches the net. | If the game element touches the opponent's court, the team is awarded a point | A participant holding a ball in his hands has the right to take no more than 3 steps along the field |
If the ball went over the boundaries playing field when serving, the team is considered a loss | If after serving the ball does not touch the opponent’s field, points are awarded to the opponent | The person in possession of the ball has no right to perform the “candle” technique. |
A player is not allowed to cross the halfway line | Points will be awarded to opponents if the player touches the game element with his feet or net | If the ball touches objects outside the field of play, the squad loses the ball |
A simplified version of the game for little ones
Even young children can play pioneer ball - this game is suitable for children from 5 years old.
In order not to get confused in the rules, a simplified version of them is offered for children, which implies the following actions:
- The main task is to throw the element over the grid.
- Serving is the same as in volleyball.
- It is allowed to touch the ball to the ground, and you can also catch it from the ground.
- You are allowed to pass the ball no more than 3 times to other players on your team.
- It is allowed not to reflect the blow, but simply to catch it and throw it over the net.
- The participant who caught the ball has the right to take 3 steps before taking subsequent actions.
By playing pioneer ball, young children develop the ability to communicate in a team. You can invite the parents of one of the children to act as a judge.
The game significantly develops the muscles of the arms and back, promoting the plasticity of the body.
Important! Pioneerball is a suitable entertainment for girls in the yard or during physical education.
Unlike volleyball, where you only need to hit shots, this game is considered more loyal.
Pioneerball helps improve coordination, trains the eyes, and develops a fighting team spirit. Having taught a child to have fun, he will return to it with friends all the time.

It should be noted that, as the movement evolved, the role of the scouting heritage in it fell (which can be clearly seen in the evolutionpioneer campfrom the type of sports and tourist tent camp to the type of sanatorium complex). Among the particular differences fromscout movementone can point out the absence of separate organizations for boys and girls.At that time, pioneers went camping and did many other outdoor activities.

Introduction
Pioneerball is a game sport with a ball, similar in rules to volleyball. Originated in the USSR in the 30s of the 20th century. The name of the game comes from the fact that it is a ball game and was played by pioneers.
Its main technical difference from classic volleyball is that the ball is picked up during the game. Accordingly, serving, passing to a partner and transferring the ball to the opponent’s side is carried out not by a blow, but by a throw. The match consists of three games, played to 15 points. The team that wins two games wins. Pioneerball is included in the physical training program of secondary schools and is a preparatory stage in mastering the basics of not only volleyball, but also basketball. IN different cities Pioneerball competitions are held in Russia.(1)
The sport itself is a team sports game, during which two teams compete on a special court, separated by a net, trying to direct the ball to the opponent’s side so that it lands on the opponent’s court (hit it to the floor), or a player of the defending team makes a mistake. At the same time, to organize an attack, players of one team are allowed no more than three touches of the ball in a row (in addition to touching the block).
Pioneerball is a non-contact, combination sport where each player has a strict specialization on the court. The most important qualities for players are jumping ability to be able to rise high above the net, reaction, coordination, and physical strength to effectively carry out attacking strikes.
Chapter 1 History
As the publication “All about Sports” (1978) notes, volleyball was born overseas, but at first it was a stepson on the American continent. “Our country became his true homeland. It was in the Soviet Union that volleyball acquired its remarkable qualities. He became athletic, fast, agile, as we know him today.”
Pre-war volleyball in the USSR was jokingly called “the game of actors.” Indeed, in Moscow, the first volleyball courts appeared in the courtyards of the theaters - Meyerhold, Kamerny, Revolution, Vakhtangov. On July 28, 1923, the first official match took place on Myasnitskaya Street, in which the teams of the Higher Art Theater Workshops (VKHUTEMAS) and the State School of Cinematography (GShK) met. From this meeting the chronology of our volleyball begins. The pioneers of the new sport were masters of art, future People's Artists of the USSR Nikolai Bogolyubov, Boris Shchukin, Anatoly Ktorov and Rina Zelenaya, future famous artists Georgy Nissky and Yakov Romas. The level of skill of the actors at that time was not inferior to the sports one - the club "Rabis" (trade union of arts workers) beat the team of the sports society "Dynamo" (Moscow).
In January 1925, the Moscow Council of Physical Education developed and approved the first official rules for volleyball competitions. According to these rules, Moscow championships have been regularly held since 1927. An important event in the development of volleyball in our country was the championship played during the first All-Union Spartakiad in 1928 in Moscow. It was attended by men's and women's teams from Moscow, Ukraine, the North Caucasus, Transcaucasia, and the Far East. In the same year, a permanent panel of judges was created in Moscow.
For the development of volleyball, mass competitions held at the sites of cultural and recreation parks in many cities of the USSR were of great importance. These games also became a good school for foreign guests - in the early 30s, competition rules were published in Germany under the name “Volleyball - a Russian folk game.”
In the spring of 1932, a volleyball section was created under the All-Union Council of Physical Culture of the USSR. In 1933, during a session of the Central Executive Committee, an exhibition match was played between the teams of Moscow and Dnepropetrovsk on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater in front of the leaders of the ruling party and government of the USSR. And within a year, championships are held regularly Soviet Union, officially called the “All-Union Volleyball Festival”. Having become the leaders of domestic volleyball, Moscow athletes were honored to represent it on the international stage, when Afghan athletes were guests and rivals in 1935. Despite the fact that the games were played according to Asian rules, the Soviet volleyball players won a convincing victory - 2:0 (22:1, 22:2).
During the Great Patriotic War, volleyball continued to be cultivated in military units. Already in 1943, volleyball courts in the rear began to come to life. Since 1945, the USSR championships have been resumed, and volleyball in our country has become one of the most popular sports. The number of people involved in volleyball was estimated at 5-6 million (and according to some sources, several times more). As the legendary coach Vyacheslav Platonov notes in his book “The Equation with Six Famous”, “those days, those years are unimaginable without volleyball. The ball flying through a net stretched between two pillars (trees, racks) had a magical effect on teenagers, on boys and girls, on brave warriors returning from the battlefields, on those who were drawn to each other. And then everyone was drawn to each other.” Volleyball was played in courtyards, parks, stadiums, on beaches... Along with amateurs, recognized masters - Anatoly Chinilin, Anatoly Eingorn, Vladimir Ulyanov - did not hesitate to go to the net. Thanks to such mass participation, schoolchildren who picked up a ball for the first time quickly grew into real stars of Soviet and world volleyball.
Competitions for the USSR championship were held exclusively in open areas, most often after football matches next to the stadiums, and the largest competitions, such as the 1952 World Cup, were held in the same stadiums with crowded stands.(2)
In 1947, Soviet volleyball players entered the international arena. At the first World Youth Festival in Prague, a volleyball tournament was held, in which the Leningrad team participated, reinforced, as was customary then, by Muscovites. The team was led by legendary coaches Alexey Baryshnikov and Anatoly Chinilin. Our athletes won 5 matches with a score of 2:0, and only the last 2:1 (13:15, 15:10, 15:7) against the hosts, the Czechoslovakian national team. The first “women’s” trip took place in 1948 - the capital’s team “Lokomotiv” went to Poland, supplemented by colleagues from the Moscow “Dynamo” and “Spartak” and the Leningrad Spartak team. In the same 1948, the All-Union Volleyball Section became members of the International Volleyball Federation (and not American, but our rules of the game formed the basis of international ones), and in 1949, our players took part in official international competitions for the first time. The debut turned out to be “golden” - the USSR women's team won the title of European champions, and the men's team won the World Championship. In 1959, the USSR Volleyball Federation was formed.
Our men's team also became the first Olympic champion in Tokyo 1964. She won both the Olympics in Mexico City (1968) and Moscow (1980). And the women's team won the title of Olympic champion four times (1968, 1972, 1980 and 1988).(5)
Soviet volleyball players are 6-time world champions, 12-time European champions, 4-time World Cup winners. The USSR women's team won the World Championships 5 times, the European Championships 13 times, and the World Cup 1 time.
The All-Russian Volleyball Federation (VFV) was founded in 1991. The president of the federation is Nikolai Patrushev. The Russian men's team is the winner of the 1999 World Cup and the 2002 World League. The women's team won the 2006 World Championships, European Championships (1993, 1997, 1999, 2001), Grand Prix (1997, 1999, 2002), and the 1997 World Champions Cup.
Under the auspices of the FIVB
The Olympic Games are held every 4 years. The World Championship is also held every 4 years. The World Champions Cup is held every 4 years. World League is held once a year. Grand - held once a year. Under the auspices of CEV, the European Championship is held every 2 years.
Interesting facts
The speed of the ball when serving is best players can reach 130 km/h.
The record attendance for a volleyball match was set on July 19, 1983. The friendly match between the national teams of Brazil and the USSR at the famous Maracanã football stadium was watched by 96,500 spectators.
Brazilian volleyball players were the first to use jump serves in the early 80s, which allowed them to win silver at the 1984 Olympics.
At the end of 2000, the International Volleyball Federation summed up the results of the “Best of the 20th Century” competition. In the “Best Player” nomination, special awards were given to Inna Ryskal and Konstantin Reva, and in the “Best Coach” nomination – Givi Akhvlediani and Vyacheslav Platonov.

Rules of the game
The game is played with a volleyball on volleyball court. Each team has from 3 to 7 people. The site is conditionally divided into 6 - 7 zones based on the number of players. The first player makes a throw from the far edge of his half of the field through the net into the opposing team's half of the field. One of the last players must catch the ball and, after taking no more than three steps in his own half of the court, throw it over the net back to the first team’s half of the field. One of the players of the first team must also catch the ball and, taking no more than three steps, throw it to the opposing team’s half of the field. And so on until the ball hits the ground, then the team that threw the ball gets one point. In this game, like volleyball, players move around the court to the next zone clockwise after winning a serve. After 15 points, the teams change sides of the field, and the second game is played. If the result of two games is 1-1, a third game is assigned. And also if the ball hits the net, the point is awarded to the team to which the ball was thrown.
Losing a ball or serve
The ball is considered lost by the receiving team and the serving team loses service if:
the team hit the ball more than three times;
the ball touched the player’s body below the waist;
the player touched the ball twice in a row;
the player touched the net;
the player has crossed the halfway line;
the ball flew over the net, but fell into touch (beyond the line limiting the field);
the ball flew under the net or touched objects outside the court.
Game Basics
The players move after winning the serve in a clockwise direction.
The game continues until one of the teams scores 15 points and has a two-point advantage.
Winning two games in any order gives the team victory.
The right to choose a side or service is determined by drawing lots.
After the end of the first game, the teams change sides.
The other team starts serving.
The sides and serving order are changed after each game.
In the decisive (third) game, when one of the teams scores 8 points, sides are changed. After the change, the same player serves.
Options
Sometimes the “three pass rule” applies, in which case players of one team must throw the ball between themselves twice, and the third throw must be made into the opponent’s half of the field. Additionally, as in volleyball, the "lost serve" rule may apply. In this case, the team that missed the ball, which was the server, only loses serve, but does not give points to the opponents. Thus, points per serve can only be awarded to the serving team.
Pioneerball- an active game with a ball, similar in rules to volleyball. Originated in the USSR in the 1930s and was intended primarily for children school age(pioneers).
Rules of the game
The game is played with a volleyball on a volleyball court. Each team usually has 6 people. The site is conditionally divided into 6 zones based on the number of players.
The back row player, being inside the court in the far right corner, makes a throw through the net into the opposing team's half of the field. One of the players of the opposing team must catch the ball and, after making no more than three steps or one pass of the ball and two steps on his half of the court, throw it over the net back to the first team's half of the field. One of the players of the first team must also catch the ball and, after making no more than three steps or one pass of the ball and two steps, throw it to the half of the opposing team’s field. And so on until the ball falls to the ground - then the team that threw the ball gets one point.
The ball is considered lost by the receiving team and the serving team loses service if:
- the ball touched the court;
- the player took more than three steps with the ball in attack;
- the player touched the net;
- the player touched the ball twice in a row;
- the player has crossed the halfway line;
- the ball flew over the net but landed behind the boundary lines;
- the ball flew under the net or touched objects outside the court.
Exception: if a team's ball hits the net, the players have the right to touch the ball 2 times.
- The player stepped behind the service line.
- When serving, the ball did not go over the net.
If the ball touches the net but flies over to the receiving team, by prior agreement between the teams there may be the following options: repeating the serve, changing the serve, or awarding a winning point to the receiving team.
As in volleyball, players move clockwise around the court to the next zone after winning a serve. After gaining a certain number of points (usually 10, 15 or 25 with a minimum advantage over the opponent of 2 points), the teams change sides of the field, and the second game is played. If the result after two games is equal (1:1), then a third game is appointed.
The right to first serve in a match is determined by drawing lots; after each game, sides change and the opposing team serves first. In the middle of the decisive (third) set, sides are changed, and the same player serves after the change. When serving, the player moves to the back line (out line) and throws the ball over the net.

Sometimes it works " rule of three passes”, in this case, players of one team must throw the ball between themselves twice, and the third throw must be made into the opponent’s half of the field. In addition, the “loss of serve” rule, which previously existed in volleyball, may be applied. In this case, the team that missed the ball, which was the server, only loses serve, but does not give points to the opponents. Thus, points per serve can only be awarded to the serving team.
There is a version of pioneer ball with two balls. Two teams of 6-8 players each play. Players standing closer to the corners of the court receive the ball and prepare to serve (throw the ball into the opponent's half of the field) when the referee whistles. After the whistle, the task of each team is to ensure that both balls do not simultaneously end up in its half of the field, but touch the hands or the ground in the opponent’s half of the field. In this case, the game stops and the team with two goals on the court loses a point. Balls colliding in the air are returned for a new serve. Otherwise, the rules are similar to the main version of pioneer ball.
