A volleyball net is a crucial piece of equipment used in the sport of volleyball. It is typically made of durable materials like nylon or polyethylene and is designed to withstand the impact of the ball. The net is stretched tightly across the center of the court, dividing it into two equal halves. The standard height of a volleyball net varies depending on the level of play, with men's nets set at about 2.43 meters (7 feet 11 5/8 inches) and women's nets at approximately 2.24 meters (7 feet 4 1/8 inches). Proper installation and maintenance of the net are essential for fair play and safety during matches.
