The legal net height for competitive women’s and girls’ high school volleyball is 7 feet, 4 1/8 inches. The middle of the net is used to take this measurement.

A high-quality net has top and bottom horizontal bands made of canvas or vinyl that run the entire length of the net and are held taut during play by cords. Competition nets are normally between 31 feet, 6 inches and 33 feet long and 39 inches wide. The court’s width of 29 feet 6 inches and length of 59 feet are slightly exceeded by the net.
