VOLLEYBALL

WHAT IS VOLLEYBALL?

• Volleyball is a sport played by two teams on a playing court divided by a net. The object of the game is to send the ball over the net in order to ground it on the opponent's court, and to prevent them from doing the same.

The team has three hits for returning the ball (in addition to the block contact). The ball is put in play with a service over the net to the opponents. The rally continues until the ball falls on the playing court, goes "out" or a team fails to return it properly.

In Volleyball, the team winning a rally scores a point (Rally Point System). When the receiving team wins a rally, it gains a point and the right to serve, and its players rotate one position clockwise.
