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. Players use various techniques, including serving, passing, setting, attacking, blocking, and digging, to maneuver the ball and prevent it from touching the ground within their own court. Volleyball can be played indoors on a court or outdoors on sand or grass, with the latter being referred to as beach volleyball. The game is governed by specific rules that dictate player positioning, scoring, and gameplay, including the rotation of players and the number of hits allowed before the ball must be sent over the net. Points are scored when the ball lands in the opponent’s court or when the opposing team fails to return the ball properly. Volleyball is known for its fast pace and requires agility, teamwork, and strategic planning to outmaneuver the opposing team. It is an Olympic sport and has numerous professional leagues and competitions worldwide.
