The height of the net in women's volleyball matches is set at 2.24 meters (7 feet 4 1/8 inches). This height is standardized by the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) and distinguishes women's play from men's, where the net is higher. The height influences gameplay strategies and player positioning, making it an essential aspect of the sport's regulations. Proper net height ensures fair competition and maintains the integrity of the game.
