Mass sports competitions allow solving pedagogical, sports-methodological and social problems. During competitions, the same pedagogical tasks are solved as in physical education and sports classes in general, i.e. improvement of physical, technical, tactical, mental and theoretical preparedness.

However, all changes occurring in the body exceed the level characteristic of training sessions. The importance of competitions is especially great for the formation of strong-willed character traits. They also contribute to the development of physical education and sports in general and allow for a pedagogical influence on spectators.

Competitions are a bright, emotional spectacle. The pleasure of sports spectacles arises from the participation of the spectator in them, who is attracted high level development motor qualities, bold and decisive actions of the participants, their high achievements.

If we consider the preparation and holding of competitions as a special event, then we can distinguish the stages of its preparation:

Stage 1 - Organizational and preparatory. At this stage the following tasks are solved :

A. Making decisions about holding competitions, appointing leaders;

b. Determining the goals and objectives of the competition;

V. Compilation calendar plan, competition regulations;

G. Planning;

d. Determining the budget and resolving the issue of financing;

e. Public statement about the event;

and. Final planning, preparation and organization of the event, sending out invitations;

h. Arrangement of the venue, installation of equipment;

Preparation for competitions is carried out in advance by the organization that organizes them and the main panel of judges. The larger the scale of the competition, the more time it takes to prepare for it - from 1-2 weeks (competitions in grassroots groups) to 3-4 years (Olympic Games).

Organizational and methodological measures related to the holding of competitions, first of all, include drawing up a calendar plan for competitions for a given type of port. It indicates the name of the competition, the dates and place of its holding and the persons responsible for its organization.

The calendar of sports competitions for each sport is compiled separately. An important condition When drawing up a calendar plan, the planned events are traditional in terms of timing, programs, and persons involved. This increases the interest of competition participants in them, facilitates the organization of the educational and training process, and makes the competition more popular among spectators.

Sports competitions, if they are held regularly, are an incentive for systematic sports activities.

Thus, the calendar of sports competitions must be drawn up so that the planned competitions are diverse in scale, composition of participants and conditions, traditional in terms of timing, composition, and location.

Another important measure of an organizational and methodological nature is the drawing up of regulations on competitions.

The competition regulations are the main document regulating all the conditions for holding this competition. The regulations govern the organizations holding the competition, participating teams, captains and team representatives, as well as all participants.

The competition regulations cover the following sections:

1. The name of the competition, its nature and type of sport.

2. Goals and objectives - the main goals of this event and the tasks that reveal their implementation are indicated. This section is one of the main ones, because, based on the goals set, the competition program, conditions, requirements for participants and judges, material and financial support, and environmental requirements are determined.

3. Management of the competition - the organizations that provide general management and the organization that directly conducts the competition are indicated, as well as the organizing committee, the main panel of judges, the last name, first name, patronymic, and the judicial category of the chief judge of the competition.

4. Competition participants and requirements for them - the requirements for teams and participants are indicated:

According to the quantitative composition of the team, including requirements for the gender of participants, the number of reserve participants, a representative, a coach (required) and a judge of the appropriate category (if necessary).

By age and sports qualification participants, in accordance with the requirements for competition participants;

5. Dates and place of holding - the exact dates, place of holding, and working hours of the credentials committee are indicated.

If necessary, indicate the route to the competition site;

6. Conditions for accepting participants - the conditions for accepting teams are indicated. Including living conditions of participants, food preparation, environmental and specific requirements.

7. Competition program - the competition program is indicated by days and times, the competition system. Additionally, the time of meetings with team representatives, the working hours of various services (credentials committee, technical commission, etc.), the opening and closing times of the competition are indicated.

8. Determination of results - it is indicated that the determination of results is carried out in accordance with the “rules” of the competitions or other scoring systems in individual or team competitions.

9. Procedure and deadlines for submitting applications - the procedure and deadlines for submitting preliminary applications and the application form are indicated.

10. Awarding - the conditions for awarding the winners of the individual and team championships are indicated.

11. The procedure for filing protests and their consideration.

12. Additional conditions for holding competitions. When developing regulations, the interests of sports teams and individual athletes are preserved and equal conditions are provided for everyone.

The detail of the individual clauses of the regulations depends on the scale of the competition. It is necessary to very clearly think through and stipulate everything in the regulations on competitions in which athletes from different cities take part.

The conditions for admission of teams and individual participants, the number of members of the team, and documents that are mandatory for each participant must be precisely specified.

To hold competitions, it is necessary to ensure that the venues, equipment and inventory are in full compliance with the established rules, their high quality and the required quantity.

A doctor and other medical personnel are appointed to attend sports competitions in accordance with their type and scale.

The most important document regulating the conduct of competitions and influencing their results are the competition rules for this sport. They regulate the actions of judges and participants, provide for the conditions for identifying winners and, in addition, define the standards of behavior for an athlete, and contain a list of prohibited actions that entail punishment that infringes on the interests of the team. Thus, the athlete who has violated the rules is affected not only by the judge’s decision regarding him personally, but also by the knowledge that the team is suffering damage due to his incorrect actions.

Direct preparation for competitions is carried out in accordance with the “Organizational plan for the preparation and conduct of competitions”, which provides for monitoring the progress of preparation for competitions, timely recruitment panel of judges and organizing its work, preparing the competition venue, informing and attracting the population to the competition, organizing medical control over the course of the competition and providing medical assistance to participants. When holding large-scale competitions, special organizing committees are created, vested with certain powers.

Stage 2 is the main stage, at which the actual competition takes place. The main tasks of this stage:

A. Official opening competitions;

b. Carrying out competitions taking into account the compiled program;

V. Official closing, awarding of winners.

The competition is conducted by a panel of judges, which is usually formed 2-3 weeks before the start.

The qualifications of the judges must correspond to the significance of the competition. The number of judges on the panel depends on the type of competition, the scale of the competition, the number of participants and the technical equipment of the competition.

The main leader of the competition, responsible for its conduct, is the chief judge.

The main document for participation in competitions is the application for participation of an athlete or team. Applications within the established period are submitted by the organizations participating in the competition to the panel of judges or to a specially created credentials commission. Initially, the application is submitted in advance (the deadlines are indicated in the regulations) so that the organizers can estimate the approximate number of participants in the competition. The final application is submitted at the time of registration of all participants in the competition.

At the first meeting of the panel of judges, lots are drawn. The draw can be common for all participants or a group draw, in which athletes are divided into several groups depending on their qualifications and previously shown results. During the competition, the organizing committee reviews protests from team representatives and makes final decisions on issues that arise.

Competitions should be a holiday for the participating spectators. It is recommended to hold the opening and closing of the holiday in a solemn atmosphere. All performances at the festival must be accompanied by comments from the presenter.

It is very important to carefully prepare the ceremony: the opening and closing parade, the official part, awarding the winners, meetings of participants and guests of the competition.

Judges and participants enter the parade in separate columns, teams of participants - in alphabetical order. Each team is led by a team representative, then the team coach and participants: first girls, then boys. After the formation, the parade leader gives a report, and the host parade makes a welcoming speech. Next is the ceremonial raising of the competition flag and then the organized departure of the participants.

At the close of the competition, the participating teams enter the parade in the order of their places in the competition. The chief judge sums up the results of the competition. The award ceremony for the winners and runners-up takes place.

Stage 3 is the final stage, at which the following work must be performed:

A. Collect, put in order and hand over the received inventory and equipment;

b. Put all documentation related to the competition in order. All technical documentation about the competition (applications, participant cards, start and finish protocols, stage protocols, personal cards of participants, etc.) are filed and stored in the organization hosting the event;

V. Copy the competition protocols and issue (distribute) them to their destination, prepare folders for representatives with protocols, competition programs, posters about them, samples of markings, participant tickets, etc. Folders should be decorated with competition emblems or postcards with views of the city where they took place;

G. Prepare and submit a financial report on the competition. All supporting documents must be attached to the financial report (statements for meals of participants, judges, payments for service personnel, acts, invoices, receipts, etc.);

e. Hand over and capitalize unused awards and prizes.

An important factor for the clear organization and conduct of competitions is its analysis and summing up in order to take into account shortcomings, mistakes, and listen to the wishes of athletes, coaches, judges and other interested parties. When summing up the results, it is necessary to find out whether the goals have been achieved and whether the objectives of the event have been fulfilled.

In a general sense of understanding competitions– these are specially organized events of different types of activities, scale, and goals, the participants of which, in accordance with the established regulations, compete with each other for primacy or achieving a certain result in any sport.

The apogee of sports training for volleyball teams is competitions, which represent a rather complex set of various events.

Their preparation, organization and implementation require knowledge, skills and abilities. They are held according to uniform rules established by the Volleyball Federation. These rules are mandatory guidelines for the conduct of competitions. They determine the quantitative composition of the team, the duration of the game, the size of the site, equipment and inventory. In addition, the actions of competition participants are largely regulated.

Competitions as a type of sports activity are held with the aim of instilling in athletes the will and desire to win, collectivism, the ability to withstand extreme physical stress, as well as developing skills in performing a variety of physical exercises, playing techniques and actions.

According to their purpose, organizational form and objectives, these competitions are divided into the following types: championships or championships; cup competitions, shortened (accelerated, shortened), handicap (equalized), classification, qualifying, match and friendly matches.

Championships are the most important competitions, as a result of which the honorary title of “champion” is awarded. Such competitions are held once a year. The winners of the championship are awarded gold, silver and bronze medals.

Cup competitions are usually played on a loser-out basis. They do not require much time and allow you to reach a large number of teams or participants.

Abbreviated (accelerated, shortened) competitions are held in a reduced time. Shortened volleyball competitions can be held until the count of “fifteen” in each game, etc.

Shortened competitions, as a rule, are timed to coincide with some special day or holiday, the opening or closing of the sports season.

Handicap competitions (levelling competitions) are organized between teams or individual participants of different levels of preparedness. Handicap- an advantage in competition conditions given to a weaker opponent in order to equalize the chances of success.

In order for such competitions to be of sporting interest for both the strongest teams and the weakest and to create conditions for intense, sporting competition, the strengths of the teams are artificially equalized. In this case, weaker teams are given a handicap (a determined number of points) even before the start of the competition. Such competitions are held as follows. An organizing committee (3-7 people) is elected from among qualified judges, public and coaching activists, which not only organizes the competition, but also determines the odds. At the committee meeting, the opinions of coaches and captains of playing teams are heard, the sports results of the participating teams, their level of skill, and the moral and volleyball preparation of both individual players and the team as a whole are analyzed. After this, the participating teams are given a certain handicap for each game. The established handicap is written down on a piece of paper, which is placed in an envelope and sealed. Only members of the organizing committee know about it. The envelope with the handicap is opened after the end of the game, and the referee, taking into account the form, announces the final result of the match.

Competitions with a handicap are of great pedagogical importance, since they contribute to the fact that the junior team plays games with senior teams at a higher moral-volitional, technical and tactical level. This forces the athletes of the junior team to “catch up” to their opponents in order to lose it with a minimum score.

Classification competitions are held in order to determine the level of sports preparedness of athletes or a team and their fulfillment of category requirements.

Qualifying competitions help identify the most prepared teams to participate in larger competitions.

Match meetings are planned in advance sports work and are traditional in nature. They usually involve a small number of teams. Such competitions contribute to the development of friendly relationships between various sports teams.

Friendly meetings are held between teams of individual educational institutions, teaching staff and students in order to develop sports rivalry, organize active leisure, as well as test the readiness of athletes for upcoming competitions, maintain and improve sports shape, and strengthen sports ties.

Competitions of any rank and target orientation include the following interrelated components: rules, regulations, calendars, regulatory and qualification requirements.

Competition rules– a document that clearly defines the conditions for competitive volleyball players under the control of sports judges.

Regulations on competitions– a document regulating the conditions, procedure, timing and location of competitions, as well as the determination and awarding of winners.

The competition regulations define the main characteristics of the competition and must have the following clearly stated points.

1. Goals and objectives (improving the class of teams, popularizing volleyball, summing up results, identifying the strongest teams and players to form national teams, etc.).

2. Dates and places of competitions.

3. Management of the competition (indicates who is conducting the competition and the composition of the panel of judges).

4. Competition participants (indicate the number and name of teams admitted to the competition; the number of players, coaches, representatives of medical staff, members of the ACG; age requirements for participants and their qualifications).

5. Conditions for the competition (indicate the methods of drawing, evaluation of results, determination of the winner, requirements for competition venues, sports uniforms).

6. Rewarding teams and participants (types of incentives for team winners are indicated).

7. Terms of acceptance and payment of expenses (expenses of the organization conducting the competition; sending organizations; procedure for payment of judging).

8. Disciplinary offenses (measures for actions and violations committed by players and coaches are given).

9. The procedure for filing a protest (deadlines for filing and consideration and the body to which the protest is filed).

10. The procedure, deadlines for submitting applications for participation in competitions and the timing of meetings of team representatives.

Competition calendars are closely related to the rules and regulations of the competition. The structure of the calendar determines the nature of the competition. Competitions can be dispersed over time (with teams traveling): playing on their own field, then on the opponent’s field, and concentrated (tours when teams compete in one place).

In volleyball practice, the following methods of conducting competitions take place:

– round-robin (all participating teams play among themselves);

– with elimination (after losing a match, a team is eliminated from the competition);

– mixed (the first part of the competition is held with elimination, the second – in a round-robin manner).

The choice of any of them depends on the objectives of the competition, the number of participating teams, sports base. Level of sports and technical preparedness of participants.

Each method of drawing has certain variations in compiling a calendar of meetings between competing teams. Before drawing up the game calendar, a draw is carried out for the participating teams. Based on the results of the draw, each team receives a specific number. Based on these numbers, the competition calendar is compiled.

The essence of the method is the sequential or simultaneous performance of competitive exercises by all participants in one sports arena.

Circular method is based on the principle of successive meetings of each participant (team) with all others and is used mainly in sports games, martial arts, intellectual games(checkers, chess).

Elimination method is based on the principle of the elimination of a participant or team from the competition after one or more defeats. This method is called “Cup” or “Olympic”, which is associated with its use on olympic games and in big cup draws.
