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 serving, hit by the
serving 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 serving, and its
players rotate one position clockwise.
Volleyball is one of the most successful and popular competitive and
recreational sports in the world. It is fast, it is exciting and the action is explosive.
Yet Volleyball comprises several crucial overlapping elements whose
complimentary interactions render it unique amongst rally games.
