Socketed Competition Posts
Permanent floor-sleeve pathway for dedicated and higher-level courts where the floor build-up and structural interface can be coordinated before installation.
Exact post + sleeve evidence
VOLLEYBALL EQUIPMENT · TECHNICAL CENTRE
LUTHVAR VOLLEYBALL · TECHNICAL CENTRE
Choose the post, net and storage pathway around the floor and operating model first.
One public technical workspace for socketed and portable posts, nets, antennae, tensioning, protection, referee systems, multi-court storage and FÍSVOR. Published specifications use LUTHVAR naming; exact equipment evidence is matched after the hall and event pathway is defined.
08equipment families · one evidence workflow
EQUIPMENT FAMILIES
Eight controlled Volleyball pathways.
These families describe how the equipment works inside the hall while keeping posts, sleeves / bases, nets, protection and officials equipment tied to their real floor and event interfaces.
Portable / Weighted Posts
Mobile pathway for schools, training centres and shared halls where permanent sockets are undesirable or frequent court relocation is required.
Stability + use-level review
Nets, Antennae + Tensioning
Matched net package covering net body, antennae, pockets, tensioning hardware and post interface rather than treating the net as a standalone item.
Exact system construction
Post Padding + Protection
Protective system matched to the post profile, court free-zone strategy and equipment operating method.
Exact fit + project material checks
Referee Stands + Officials Equipment
Referee platform, scorer and officials equipment coordinated with the free zone, post position, sightlines and storage.
Event suitability + protective details
Training + Adjustable Systems
Height-adjustable and teaching pathways for schools and academies where mixed ages, supervision and quick setup matter.
Use case + safe operation
Multi-Court Storage + Transport
Racks, trolleys and dedicated storage bays for posts, nets, padding and referee equipment across larger court banks.
Project handling plan
FÍSVOR Scoring + Venue Information
Scoring, match information, main displays and repeaters coordinated separately from the physical court-equipment approval pathway.
Protocol + product evidence separate
TECHNICAL SELECTION MATRIX
Match the post and net pathway to the floor, court bank and operating model first.
The matrix separates school, club, competition and arena pathways while keeping exact approval, homologation and product evidence tied to the system that will actually be supplied.

| Equipment family | Installation pathway | Movement / storage | Key interfaces | Evidence gate | School | Club | Competition | Arena |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01Socketed competition post systemsLUTHVAR | Floor-sleeve / socket pathway integrated with the sports-floor build-up | Posts remove after play; sleeves remain as permanent floor interfaces | Sleeve depth, slab / subfloor, floor finish, net loads, cap detail, court geometry | Exact post, sleeve and competition evidence matched to the selected system | Recommended | Core | Exact evidence | Exact evidence |
| 02Portable / weighted post systemsLUTHVAR | Floor-standing mobile pathway without permanent court sockets | Move to dedicated storage / parking after use | Base footprint, ballast, floor protection, free zone, handling route, stability | Exact stability, use-level and competition suitability confirmed by system | Core | Recommended | Project-specific | Project-specific |
| 03Net, antennae + tensioning packageLUTHVAR | Matched to selected post spacing, post geometry and use level | Removed, rolled and stored after play where the hall changes sport | Net height, tension path, cable / strap hardware, post load, antenna pockets | Exact net and accessory construction matched to the required competition pathway | Core | Core | Exact evidence | Exact evidence |
| 04Post padding + player protectionLUTHVAR | Matched protective system around each selected post configuration | Removes or travels with the post depending on equipment type | Post profile, free-zone intrusion, attachment, finish, cleaning and storage | Exact padding fit and material evidence checked against project requirements | Core | Core | Core | Core |
| 05Referee stands + officials equipmentLUTHVAR | Courtside platform / stand positioned outside the required playing envelope | Mobile or demountable with dedicated storage position | Free zone, post / net position, scorer sightline, padding, floor protection | Exact event suitability and protective details confirmed for the supplied stand | Option | Recommended | Exact evidence | Exact evidence |
| 06Training + adjustable-height systemsLUTHVAR | Socketed or portable pathway selected around age group and timetable | Designed for repeat setup, height changes and shared-hall storage | Adjustment range, supervision, net tension, floor sockets / bases and storage | Age-group, local rules and safe operating method control selection | Core | Option | — | — |
| 07Multi-court storage + transport systemsLUTHVAR | Dedicated racks / trolleys / storage bays sized to the court count | Posts, nets, padding and referee equipment move along planned handling routes | Door widths, floor protection, storage depth, divider zones, court-changeover time | Project-specific handling plan rather than a competition approval claim | Recommended | Core | Recommended | Recommended |

EVIDENCE GATE
From court-bank planning to exact Volleyball equipment release.
The public pathway narrows the technical family. The exact system is released only after court geometry, floor interfaces, operating method and event evidence are matched to the real project.
Court bank + free zone
Freeze court count, spacing, free zones, divider lines and scorer / spectator positions.
Floor + post interface
Confirm ATHREN floor build-up, sockets / sleeves or portable-base pathway before product release.
Net + operating method
Confirm target net heights, tensioning, daily changeover, referee equipment and storage routine.
Exact equipment evidence
Match posts, sleeves / bases, nets, padding and referee systems to the exact project and event pathway.
FÍSVOR + handover
Close scoring, power/data, installation scope, documentation, testing and destination requirements.
INTERFACE LOGIC
The post system is a floor decision, a load decision and an operations decision.
Socketed and portable systems solve different problems. Net tension, free-zone control, divider paths, officials equipment and storage all need to be resolved around the selected pathway.
Floor sleeve + slab
Coordinate sleeve depth, fixing / support, finished floor, removable caps, tolerance and long-term access before the floor is completed.
Base stability + handling
Confirm base footprint, ballast, movement route, floor protection, free-zone intrusion and storage before selecting the system.
Tension + post load
Treat net, antennae, tension hardware and post geometry as one assembly so the load path and operating method remain compatible.
Storage + changeover
Size storage for the real number of posts, nets, pads and referee stands and protect the movement route through doors and shared-hall zones.
QUOTE-RELEASE CHECKLIST
What Apollo needs before exact Volleyball equipment is quoted.
Enough information is needed to avoid a post or socket solution that conflicts with the floor, divider layout, free zone or storage plan.
01
Project use level and intended competition / event pathway
02
Court count and whether courts operate concurrently
03
Hall plan with free zones, dividers, seating and scorer positions
04
ATHREN / existing floor build-up and slab information where available
05
Socketed, portable or recommendation-required post pathway
06
Required net-height range and any junior / training operation
07
Post, net, padding and referee-equipment storage location
08
FÍSVOR scoring, match information and main-display requirements
09
Destination, programme and installation responsibility
Competition approval is not a family-level claim.
A professional post, net or referee system is not automatically suitable for a named competition because another similar product is approved. Exact current evidence is checked against the system that will actually be supplied.
NEXT STEP
Move from the Technical Centre into the complete hall brief.
The technical matrix narrows the equipment family. The Volleyball Hall Brief adds court count, clear height, floor, dividers, spectators, FÍSVOR and storage so Apollo can move into exact controlled selection.
