Volleyball is an Olympic team sport in which
two teams of 6 active players are separated by a net. Each team tries to
score points against one another by grounding a ball on the other team's
court under organized rules. The complete rules of volleyball are extensive,
and points are awarded as follows: If the ball touches the ground outside
the court area, the team which made contact with it last loses the point.
If the ball touches the ground on team A's side of the net, team B is awarded
a point, and vice-versa. The ball must be hit over the net to get a point.
The team who wins the point then serves. The first team to reach 25 points
wins the set and the first team to win three sets wins the match. |

Teams can contact the ball only three times
before the ball crosses the net, and consecutive contacts must be made
by different players. The ball is usually played with the hands or arms,
but players can legally strike or push (short contact) the ball with any
part of the body. Through time, volleyball has developed to involve common
techniques of spiking, passing, blocking, and setting, as well as specialized
player positions and offensive and defensive structures. Because many plays
are made above the top of the net, vertical jumping is an athletic skill
emphasized in volleyball. This article focuses on competitive indoor volleyball,
which is carefully regulated and played indoors. Numerous variations of
volleyball have developed for casual play, including the Olympic spin-off
sport beach volleyball.
