1. Volleyball Rules: Volleyball involves two teams of six players, played on a court divided by a net. The aim is to send the ball over the net so that it touches the ground on the opponent's side or forces the opponent to make an error. Each team can touch the ball up to three times before sending it back across the net.

3. Player Positions: There are six primary positions in volleyball: setter, libero, middle blocker, outside hitter (or wing), opposite hitter, and defensive specialist. Each role is essential to the team's strategy.

4. Types of Plays: Common plays include the serve (floating or jump), the pass, the set, the attack, the block, and defense. Each type of play has specific techniques that need to be mastered.

5. History of the Sport: Volleyball was invented in 1895 by American William G. Morgan. It has since transformed into a global phenomenon, featuring prominent events such as the Olympics and the World Championship.

6. Major Championships: Key volleyball championships include the Nations League, World Championship, World Cup, and the Olympics, each with its own rules and competition formats.

Activity with Socioemotional Feedback

Duration: 35 - 45 minutes

Volleyball Play with Socioemotional Feedback

In this activity, students will form teams and engage in a series of volleyball plays, applying the theoretical knowledge they have learned. Following the activity, there will be a group feedback session focusing on socioemotional skills like self-control, communication, and teamwork.

1. Team Formation: Split the class into teams of six, ensuring each team has a setter, libero, middle blocker, outside hitter, opposite hitter, and a defensive specialist.

2. Start of the Game: Let each team practice for 10 minutes using various plays while adhering to the volleyball rules. Encourage them to utilize serving, passing, setting, attacking, blocking, and defending techniques.

3. Observation: During practice, observe students' interactions, noting instances of effective communication, cooperation, and self-control.

4. Feedback and Discussion: After practice, convene all students for a group discussion about their experiences. Utilize the RULER method to facilitate the discussion, aiding students in recognizing, understanding, labeling, expressing, and regulating the emotions encountered during the activity.

5. Individual Reflection: Ask students to reflect on how they felt during the activity, what they observed about their own emotions and behaviors, and how they might apply this insight in future games and their daily lives.

Discussion and Group Feedback

Post-activity, lead a group discussion through the RULER method. Start by encouraging students to identify the emotions they experienced during practice. Inquire about their feelings during moments of success and frustration, and explore what triggered these emotions, discussing how situations (like losing a point or making a great serve) impacted their feelings.

Then, assist students in accurately labeling their emotions using precise terms like 'joy', 'frustration', 'anxiety', or 'pride'. Discuss the significance of appropriately expressing these emotions, both verbally and through body language, during games. Finally, guide students in regulating their emotions, sharing strategies to maintain self-control and effective communication in high-stress situations, both in volleyball and other aspects of life.
