Pioneers play pioneer ball. Important nuances and rules of the game

Pioneerball is sport game with the ball, in which teams compete on a court divided by a net. The game appeared in the 30s of the last century as a courtyard version of volleyball, and its name comes from the word "pioneer" - a member of the children's communist organization of the USSR.

The game uses a volleyball (circumference 65-67 cm, weight - up to 300g). The site has dimensions of 18x9m. After the division by the net (height 2.43m for men's teams and 2.24m for women's), each team is on its own playing square 9x9m. In a team of 3 to 7 people, in accordance with the number, the game square is divided into conditional sections (an attached player is responsible for each). Participants in the game, catching the ball ( distinguishing feature from volleyball - the ball is caught and thrown, not beaten off), 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 - the players of the same team hit the ball more than 3 times in a row, the participant touched the net, hit the ball more than 2 times in a row, the ball touched the player below the belt and others.

One game lasts up to 15 points, before the next players change fields. Usually 2 games are played, but if the final score is 1:1, then the third game is played - the decisive game. There is a fascinating variation of this sport - pioneer ball with two balls. An interesting rule of this game is to award a point to the team on whose field there is not a single ball (respectively, there are 2 of them on the opponent’s court at once). Because of this, competitions acquire greater dynamism and entertainment.

Today this species sport is more popular in schools and children's health camps on the territory of the CIS. Also, like volleyball, this game has a beach variant. There are many tournaments various types pioneer ball, the winners of which meet at the championship of Russia. Also, sometimes demonstration games of pioneer ball are organized, which are included in the program of sports and other events.

School time: summer, yard and friends - this is how childhood memories pop up. With them, school fun comes to mind - pioneer ball.

Today to teach a child such team game It’s not difficult, because the rules of the pioneer ball have remained the same. It is played both in physical education classes and just with friends in the yard.

The game got its name from the wide popularity in the once widespread pioneer camps - today health facilities for children.

In order for the pioneer ball to pass correctly, it is necessary to prepare the scene: a platform with a net stretched in the middle. The goal is to beat off blows flying from rivals over the net by any means.

Consider briefly the rules of pioneerball for schoolchildren:

1. Pioneerball is played by two teams different sides grids. One team can have from 3 to 8 players, the most suitable number of participants is 14 people.
2. The playground should be spacious and allow the guys to move freely around the field.
3. If there is no volleyball net, then for the yard option you can pull on an ordinary clothesline, which will become a separator between rivals.
4. The placement of players takes place at the command of the captain - he preliminarily plans which participant will be responsible for the front, back and middle zone. Pionerball in the yard often involves an arbitrary arrangement.
5. When a kick flies from behind the net from opponents, the player must return it to the side of the opponent. Repeating the same action is allowed no more than 2 times.
6. If the participant could not repel the blow, while allowing the ball to touch the body above the waist, the opponents count a point.
7. It is allowed to serve with one or two hands.
8. Like volleyball, touching the net is not allowed when serving, however, when hitting a shot, this option is possible.
9. When one of the teams wins, the participants must change their positions in a clockwise direction.
10. The winner is the team that scored from 10 to 15 points, while not having a difference with the opponent by less than 2 points.
11. The right of the first serve is chosen by agreement or by lottery.
12. 2 games won in a row bring an absolute win to the team.
13. After the end of the initial game, the opponents change places.

Pioneerball has no fundamental rules - they can be modified according to the agreement of the opponents. The main provisions described above are considered basic - it is with them that the pioneer ball begins.

Additional Pioneerball Rules

In addition to the classic version, there is a kind 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 him 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 just hit the ground, a minus point is still counted. Provided that the balls collided in flight, the referee announces the start of a new game.

Note! Previously, there was a rule that the serving team loses the right to serve if the participants make a mistake.

Now not all pioneer ball lovers use this rule, so it’s worthwhile to specify the situation with the pitch in advance.

Often this game is used in physical education classes, the teacher himself acts as a referee. He explains the rules to the students in detail, carries out the arrangement and announces the start.

So that students do not get confused in the rules, it is worth considering them in more detail:

Introduction

Pioneerball is a game sport with a ball, similar in rules to volleyball. It 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 it was played by the pioneers.

Its main technical difference from classical volleyball is that the ball is picked up during the game. Accordingly, the serve, the pass to the partner and the transfer of the ball to the opponent's side are carried out not by a blow, but by a throw. The match consists of three parties, the game in which is played up to 15 points. The team that wins two sets wins. Pionerball 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, a team sport game, during which two teams compete on a special area divided by a net, trying to send the ball to the opponent's side so that it lands on the opponent's court (finish it to the floor), or the 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 on the block).

Pioneerball is a non-contact, combinational sport, where each player has a strict specialization on the court. The most important qualities for the players are jumping ability to rise high above the net, reaction, coordination, physical strength for the effective production of attacking blows.

Chapter 1 History
As noted by the publication "All About Sports" (1978), volleyball was born overseas, but at first it was a stepson on the American continent. “Our country has become 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 theaters - Meyerhold, Chamber, 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 is being conducted. The pioneers of the new sport were the masters of arts, the future People's Artists of the USSR Nikolai Bogolyubov, Boris Shchukin, Anatoly Ktorov and Rina Zelyonaya, the 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 art 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, the Far East. In the same year, a permanent panel of judges was established in Moscow.

For the development of volleyball, mass competitions held at the sites of parks of culture and recreation in many cities of the USSR were of great importance. These games 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 on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater, an exhibition match between the teams of Moscow and Dnepropetrovsk was played in front of the leaders of the ruling party and the government of the USSR. And a year later, championships are held regularly Soviet Union, officially called the "All-Union Volleyball Holiday". Having become the leaders of domestic volleyball, Moscow athletes were honored to represent it on the international arena, when Afghan athletes were guests and rivals in 1935. Despite the fact that the games were held according to Asian rules, the Soviet volleyball players won a landslide 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 championships of the USSR have been resumed, and volleyball has become one of the most popular sports in our country. 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 Known Ones, “those days, those years are unimaginable without volleyball. A ball flying through a net stretched between two pillars (trees, racks) had a magical effect on teenagers, on boys and girls, on brave warriors who returned from the battlefield, on those who were drawn to each other. And then everyone was drawn to each other. Volleyball was played in yards, parks, stadiums, on the beaches ... Together with amateurs, recognized masters - Anatoly Chinilin, Anatoly Eingorn, Vladimir Ulyanov, did not hesitate to go to the net. Thanks to such a mass character, schoolchildren who took the ball in their hands for the first time quickly grew into real stars of Soviet and world volleyball.

USSR championship competitions were held exclusively in open areas, most often after football matches in the vicinity of stadiums, and major 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, strengthened, as was then customary, by Muscovites. The national team was led by legendary coaches Alexei 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 Czechoslovak national team. The first "female" departure took place in 1948 - the metropolitan 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 a member 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 champion, 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 also won the Olympics in Mexico City (1968) and in Moscow (1980). And the women's team four times (1968, 1972, 1980 and 1988) won the title of Olympic champions. (5)

Soviet volleyball players are 6-time world champions, 12-time European champions, 4-time World Cup winners. The USSR women's team won 5 World Championships, 13 European Championships, and 1 World Cup.

The All-Russian Volleyball Federation (VVF) 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 Championship, the European Championships (1993, 1997, 1999, 2001), the Grand Prix (1997, 1999, 2002), 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 - will be held once a year. Under the auspices of the CEV, the European Championship is held every 2 years.

Interesting Facts

The speed of the ball when serving the best players can reach 130 km/h.

The record attendance for a volleyball match was set on July 19, 1983. 96,500 spectators watched the friendly game between the national teams of Brazil and the USSR at the famous Maracana football stadium.

Brazilian volleyball players were the first to serve in the jump 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 competition "The Best of the 20th Century". In the "Best Player" nomination, Inna Ryskal and Konstantin Reva were awarded special awards, and in the "Best Coach" nomination - Givi Akhvlediani and Vyacheslav Platonov.

Rules of the game

The game is played with a volleyball volleyball court. Each team consists of 3 to 7 people. The site is conditionally divided into 6-7 zones according to the number of players. The first player makes a throw from the far edge of his half of the field through the net to the half of the field of the opposing team. One of the last players must catch the ball and, after taking no more than three steps in their own half of the court, throw it over the net back to the half of the field of the first team. One of the players of the first team must also catch the ball and, taking no more than three steps, transfer it to the opponent's half of the field. And so on until the ball hits the ground, at which point the team that threw the ball gets one point. In this game, like in volleyball, players move around the court to the next zone in a clockwise direction after winning a serve. After 15 points, the teams change sides of the field, and the second set is played. If the result of the two sets is 1-1, a third set is called. And also if the ball hit the net, the point is credited to the team to which the ball was thrown.

Loss of ball or serve

The ball is considered lost by the receiving team, and the serving team loses the serve if:

the team hit the ball more than three times;

the ball touched the player's body below the belt;

the player touches the ball twice in a row;

the player touched the net;

the player has crossed the middle 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 transition of players is made 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 sets in any sequence gives the team a win.

The right to choose a side or serve is determined by a draw.

After the end of the first game, the teams change sides.

The serve is started by the other team.

The change of sides and the order of service takes place after each game.

In the decisive (third) game, when one of the teams scores 8 points, the sides change. The serve after the change is made by the same player.

Options

Sometimes the "rule of three passes" applies, in which case the players of the same team must throw the ball between themselves twice, and the third throw must be made to the opponent's half of the field. Also, as in volleyball, the "lost serve" rule may apply. In this case, the team that conceded the ball, which was serving, only loses the serve, but does not give points to the opponents. Thus, for one serve, only the serving team can be awarded points.

Pioneerball- an outdoor game with a ball, similar in rules to volleyball. Born in the USSR in the 1930s and 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 according to the number of players.

The back row player, being within the court in the far right corner, makes a throw through the net into the half of the field of the opposing team. One of the players of the opposing team must catch the ball and, having made no more than three steps or one pass of the ball and two steps in their own half of the court, throw it over the net back to the half of the field of the first team. One of the players of the first team must also catch the ball and, having made no more than three steps or one transfer of the ball and two steps, transfer it to the opponent's half of the field. And so on until the ball hits 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 the serve 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 touches the ball twice in a row;

• the ball flew over the net, but landed behind the lines limiting the area;
• the ball flew under the net or touched objects outside the court.

Exception: if the team's ball hit the net, the players have the right to touch the ball 2 times.

• The player stepped over the service line.
• When serving, the ball did not fly over the net.

If the ball touched the net, but flew over to the side of the receiving team, by prior agreement between the teams there may be such options: re-serve, transfer of service or accrual of a winning point to the receiving team.

As in volleyball, players move clockwise across 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 of 2 points over the opponent), the teams change sides of the field, and the second game is played. If the result after two sets is equal (1:1), then the third set is assigned.

The right of the first serve in the match is determined by a lottery, after each game there is a change of sides and the opposite team serves first. In the middle of the decisive (third) set, the sides are changed, the same player makes the serve after the change. When serving, the player moves to the back line (out line) and serves throws the ball over the net.

Options

Sometimes it works rule of three passes”, in this case, the players of one team must throw the ball between themselves twice, and the third throw must be made on the opponent’s half of the field. In addition, the “lost serve” rule that previously existed in volleyball may apply. In this case, the team that conceded the ball, which was serving, only loses the serve, but does not give points to the opponents. Thus, for one serve, only the serving team can be awarded points.

There is a variant of the 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 to the opponent's half of the field) on the referee's whistle. 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 balls on the court loses the point. Balls that collided in the air are returned for a new serve. The rest of the rules are similar to the main version of the pioneer ball.
