NOTE: The above bill of materials applies to the volleyball system itself. Additional
components may be included with your order such as floor sockets or judges stand. Bill of
materials and installation instructions are included with any additional products provided
with your order.
Inspect all contents prior to installation. Report any missing parts to First Team customer
service immediately, 1-888-884-6677.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PROCEEDING!

UPRIGHT POST ASSEMBLY
1. Remove Upright Posts from shipping tubes.
Note: There is a compression spring shipped inside each of the uprights. For
safety, the uprights are shipped extended to minimize the spring pressure. Always
use caution when extending and retracting telescoping uprights.
2. Locate and identify the “Winch Post” and the “Center Post”. The Winch Post is the upright with
the round pulley wheel attached to the top. The Center Post is the upright with no pulley at the
top.
NOTE: FOR YOUR TRANSPORT CONVENIENCE A ROLLER WHEEL IS ATTACHED TO THE
BOTTOM OF THE FRONTIER (STEEL) POSTS. THIS WHEEL IS INTENDED TO AID IN
TRANSPORTING THE POSTS DUE TO THEIR WEIGHT. THIS TRANSPORT WHEEL SHOULD
NOT BE CONFUSED WITH THE NET PULLEY. CALL FIRST TEAM IF YOU HAVE
QUESTIONS, 1-888-884-6677.
3. Each upright has a long groove machined into the silver slide tube upper section of the post.
Insert each upright into its respective floor socket with the “silver groove” facing toward the
center of the court. Note: If you are
installing a “side-by side” system make sure the Center Post is in the center floor socket. (In
the case of a “side-by-side” system the silver groove on the Center Post can face either
direction)
4. Look at Figure A. You will see the location of the “Tensioning Knob”E on each upright. For
shipping purposes, this knob is not installed. In its place you will find a ½” hex bolt. Loosen and
remove this hex bolt. Remember, the uprights have an internal spring. Exercise caution when
removing bolt, silver slide tube may want to extend outward suddenly.
5. On each Winch Post, wrap (1) D-Ring Strap C around the post. Loosely attach the D-Ring
Strap by sliding the end of the strap through the Rectangle ring and looping the velcro back
onto itself.
6. Repeat step 5 for the Center Post. NOTE: If you are setting up a “side-by-side” set and
separate net heights are desired for each net, then you will need to wrap two additional D-Ring
Straps around the Center post for attaching second net. One on the silver top telescoping
section of the post and another down on the main body of the post.
7. Screw in Tensioning Knobs to the threaded hole in each upright vacated by the shipping bolt in
step 4.
8.Using the hardware provided with the Winch Assembly F, clamp the Winch Assembly to the
Winch Post approximately 55” up from the playing surface as shown in Figure A. NOTE: Do not
overtighten Winch hardware, doing so could cause damage to Galaxy carbon fiber post.
9.Using the 5/16”flat washer, lock washer and hex nut provided, attach the Welded Eye-Bolt to
the top of the Center Post as shown in Figure A. For “side-by-side” systems attach both
Eye-Bolts as shown.

NET ATTACHMENT
1. Loosen Post Tensioning Knobs and telescope silver tubes down to
approximately 7’ from the floor.
2. Unpack Competition Volleyball Net G. Lay net out flat on the floor. Slide wooden dowels
provided into side pockets of net. Notice that the ropes are different lengths. The TOP of the
net is the side with the SHORTER rope, called the TOP ROPE. Your TOP ROPE should have
a loop at each end.
The BOTTOM ROPE should be longer than the top and should have only one loop.
3. Attach (2) Carabiner Clips to the end of the net that has a loop at the top and at the bottom.
4. Next, using the Carabiner Clip, attach the TOP ROPE to the Eye-Bolt at the top of the Center
Post.
5. Drape the other end of the TOP ROPE over the Net Pulley at the top of the Winch Post.
Extend the Winch Assembly strap and loosely connect it to the TOP ROPE.
6. Secure each D-Ring Strap to a height approximately 3” below bottom of
net and pull tight.
7. Attach looped end of the BOTTOM ROPE to the D-Ring Strap on the Center Post using the
Carabiner Clip.
8. Locate the Rope Tensioner N. Thread BOTTOM ROPE through Rope
Tensioner as indicated on the tensioner’s plastic casing, or see Figure B.
9. Attach Rope Tensioner/Bottom Rope to D-Ring Strap on Winch Post as shown in Figure A.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT LABEL APPLICATION
NOTE: Height label are not factory installed to insure exact height regardless of socket depth!
1. Loosen the tensioning knobs on each post and raise net so that when the winch is tightened
the net height at the middle of the net is 7’ 4-1/8” (official women’s height). The net should be
no more than ¾” higher on the ends over the side court line.
2. Use a pencil to mark all inner poles at the top of the outer poles with the net
set at the 7’4-1/8”height.
3. Loosen the net tension and remove net.
4. Loosen the tensioning knobs on the posts once again and raise the inner silver slide tubes
to maximum height and tighten knobs.
5. Apply self-adhesive Height Labels Q to the groove in the inner pole so that
the 7’ 4-1/8” mark on the label is lined up with the pencil mark.

NET HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT FOR SINGLE COURT SYSTEM
1. Starting with a loose top net rope, loosen the Tensioning Knobs on the post and adjust the
silver slide tubes to the desired height as indicated on the height label. Tighten tensioning
knobs.
2. Adjust the D-Ring Straps to approximately 2”-3” below the bottom of
the net and attach bottom rope to D-Ring Straps.
3. Crank top rope tight with the winch, then pull bottom rope tight through the rope tensioning
device.
4. Attach Net Tensioners (75 lb. Load) D around pole and hook ends together, then even out net
between poles and apply desired tension.

2. Adjust all three poles by loosening tensioning knobs on posts and adjusting to the desired
height, then retighten knobs.
