Volleyball

Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams, typically consisting of six players each, are separated by a net. The objective of the game is to score points by hitting a ball over the net and into the opposing team’s court, aiming for it to land on the ground or to be unreturned. Players use various techniques, such as serving, passing, setting, attacking, and blocking, to rally the ball and outmaneuver their opponents. The game is played on a rectangular court, with scoring often occurring in rallies, meaning a point can be won by either team regardless of who served. Volleyball can be played indoors, on a beach, or on various surfaces, and encompasses several formats, including traditional indoor volleyball, beach volleyball, and sitting volleyball, each with specific rules and modifications. The sport emphasizes teamwork, coordination, and agility and is played recreationally and competitively around the world.
