Volleyball is one of the most successful and popular competitive and recreational sports in the world.

It is fast, it is
exciting and the action is explosive

Volleyball - volleyball is a fast-moving, exciting game that brings people together. This sport gives meaning to the word
"team" because team members must work in harmony to keep the volleyball aloft and in bounds.

Definition - Volleyball is played by two teams on a court divided by a net. Each team has six players. The players set up
on their side of the court in two lines parallel to the net.

The object of the game- is for each team to send the ball regularly over the net. The entire team works together to
"ground" it on the opponent's court. At the same time a team is offensively trying to score a point, defense is crucial. As
fast as one team can send the ball flying over the net, it is sure to return.

The ball will "volley" until one team fails to return the ball to the other team's side of the net. When it lands, and it's
within the boundaries of the court markets, the team that landed it gets a point.

Each volley begins with a serve.

1. The ball is served by the right back-row player who serves the ball by hitting it over the net to the opponent's
court.
2. A team is allowed to hit the ball three times (in addition to the block contact) to return it to the opponent's
court.
3. A player is not allowed to hit the ball twice consecutively, except when attempting a block.
4. The rally continues until the ball touches the ground/floor goes "out" or a team fails to return it to the
opponent's court or commits a fault.
