Official volleyball courts are standardized by the FIVB (Official Volleyball Rules Rule 1 & 2). The indoor court is a symmetrical 18.0 × 9.0 m (59.06 × 29.53 ft) rectangle surrounded by a free zone. The net stands 2.43 m (7 ft 11⅝ in) high for men and 2.24 m (7 ft 4⅛ in) for women, marked by an attack line 3.0 m from the centerline (defining the front row). Beach courts measure 16.0 × 8.0 m.

Net Antenna Markings & Attack Zone Rules
- 80 cm Flexible Antennas: Fastened to the outer edges of the 9-metre crossing space directly above each sideline, two 1.80 m fiberglass antennas with 10 cm red-and-white striped bands delineate the legal ball crossing envelope.
- The 3-Metre Attack Line: Divides each half-court into front and back zones. Back-row players may not execute an attack hit above the top of the net if their takeoff foot touches or crosses the 3 m line.
