serve is a playable live ball. The let serve is a strategy used to keep the game moving with fewer interruptions in play. With the “let serve”, there is no longer a need to touch the net when giving the signal to serve. Time-outs: Each team is allowed a maximum of two time-outs per game. A time-out is a maximum of 60 seconds, although play may resume sooner if both teams are ready prior to 60 seconds. Extra time-outs are not granted during rally scoring, nor are accumulative during a match. The game has a total of 25 points. If a team fails to serve properly, return the ball, or commits any other fault, the opponent wins the rally and scores the point. Each game must be won by a two-point margin. A match consists of either three or five 25 point games. The team which wins two (in a three-game match) or three (in a five-game match) games is the winner of the match. Volleyball requires a referee, who generally has the final word regarding points in dispute, an umpire who assists the referee, a scorekeeper, a timekeeper and linesmen. Even though there may be officials present during a game, players who commit fouls are expected to call out their own mistakes. SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES THE READY POSITION AND JUMP One of the basic positions in volleyball is called the “ready position.” The knees are slightly bent with hands at waist level and elbows near the body to allow the player to concentrate on the ball. Players should learn this position so that time is not wasted when the ball is hit. Jumping is always done near the net. Players should practice jumping so that they do not touch the net, or bump into or injure other players. They should also remember always to jump parallel to the net. THE SERVE: OVERHAND AND UNDERHAND Serving is a crucial skill for the volleyball player to learn. The cardinal rules of serving are simple: do not step on a boundary line, and get the ball over the net.

All players on a team use gloves. A standard baseball glove may not exceed 12 inches in length and 8 inches in width. The first baseman and catcher usually wear gloves that are thicker than those of the other players. BASEBALL NOTES AND NEWS In October of 2006, the Cardinals won their first Series title since 1982 by completing a five-game domination of the Detroit Tigers with a 4-2 validation at Busch Stadium. Starting pitcher Jeff Weaver, a July acquisition deemed not good enough by the Los Angeles Angels, offered a nerveless performance to further belie his New York-given reputation as a weak-kneed autumn arm. Shortstop David Eckstein ended a World Series that began with 11 hitless at-bats by accounting for his team’s first two RBIs in game five and acknowledgement as Series MVP. “We did not stay in the past, and we weren’t looking toward the future. We stayed in the moment,” said Eckstein, who finished with a .364 overall average to go with six hits and four RBIs in the Series’ final two games. A bullpen thought destitute after the Sept. 7 loss of closer Jason Isringhausen again provided the final punctuation point, this time with rookie Adam Wainwright finishing it with a three-pitch strikeout of Tigers third baseman Brandon Inge. The Cardinals didn’t just win their 10th World Series. They emerged from a disconsolate 83-win season, a 12-17 September and a near-calamitous final two weeks to outdo the 85-win 1987 Minnesota Twins for translating the fewest regular-season victories into a championship. “We tasted a lot of failure this season,” said third baseman Scott Rolen. “I can tell you this tastes a lot better.”
