A standard volleyball court is rectangular in shape and measures 9 meters wide and 18 meters long. The court is divided across the center by a net which stands 2.43 meters high for men's competitions and 2.24 meters high for women's competitions. The court is marked with boundary lines that are typically 5 cm wide. The playing area is surrounded by a free zone that is a minimum of 3 meters wide, creating a safe and unobstructed space around the court.
