Volleyball, a dynamic sports game, belongs to heuristic sports activities. In vol- leyball, there is not common to be in contact with an opponent. But there are a lot of situations in which the athlete must fall down to avoid the ball touching the floor. Besides that there are game situations where it is advantageous to employ the contact with the opponent and playmates as a part of game techniques and tactics. Aim. The aim of the research is to discover and describe fall- ing and other combative techniques in a volleyball game and also to find out their frequency in a volleyball match. Additional aim is to show how important falling techniques are in injury pre- vention. Material and methods. For the research and observation, we chose ten matches of JMP Brno team that was in the 2007/2008 season a participant in the highest Czech volleyball com- petition – 1st League. Indirect monitoring from the recording was used for the observation. A re- cord was created by a detailed analysis of one match where we segregated the observed combat- ive activities. The monitored situations were as follows: a) what falling or combative activity was performed; b) the post of the player who performed the falling or combative activity. Results. The number of particular combative activities out of ten monitored matches was 65.4 in one match, which is one technique in every 1 min 21 sec. Players successfully received ball in the number of 36.1 in one match with using falling or other combative techniques. But only half of receiving ended with scoring a point. The character of a volleyball game is created by sports rules that ac- tivities allow using mainly fallings (collapse, sprawl, dive, shoulder or barrel roll, etc.) out of the combative activities. Conclusions. Finally, we state that falling techniques (volleyball techniques of going down to the floor) and combative activities have an irreplaceable position in volleyball nowadays and their mastering is an important part of team performance. The team that is not fully prepared for physically and mentally demanding active style of volleyball has a worse posi- tion in contrast to teams that mastered falling and combative techniques well.
