Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams, typically consisting of six players each, are separated by a high net. The objective of the game is to score points by hitting a ball over the net and into the opposing team’s court, while preventing the opposing team from returning the ball. The game involves a series of plays where players use various techniques such as serving, passing, setting, attacking, blocking, and digging to maneuver the ball. Each match is played in sets, and a team wins a set by being the first to reach a predetermined number of points, typically 25, with a minimum lead. Volleyball can be played indoors or on outdoor sand courts, and it is governed by specific rules set forth by organizations like the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB). The sport emphasizes teamwork, coordination, and athleticism and can be played at recreational, competitive, and professional levels worldwide.
