About Volleyball Sport

Volleyball is a sport played by two teams on a playing court divided by a net. There are different, versions available for specific cir­cumstances in order to offer the versatility of the game to everyone.

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 the same effort by the opponent. The team has three hits for returning the ball (in addition to the block contact).

The ball is put in play with a service by the server over the net to the opponents. The rally continues until the ball is grounded 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.
