Volleyball is a team sport played by two teams separated by a net. The objective is for each team to ground the ball on the opponent's side of the court. It has been an Olympic sport since 1964. The court is divided evenly by the net with specific dimensions outlined. Players rotate in a clockwise direction after gaining the serve. The rules govern serving, scoring, rotations, and basic violations like reaching over the net or hitting the ball illegally. Substitutions are limited to 12 per game.

3. Volleyball
is a team sport in which
two teams of six players are
separated by a net. Each team tries
to score points by grounding a ball
on the other team's court under
organized rules. It has been a part
of the official program of
the Summer Olympic Games
since 1964.

4. COURT DIMENSIONS
A volleyball court is 9 m × 18 m (29.53 ft × 59.06 ft),
divided into equal square halves by a net with a width of
one meter (39.4 in). The top of the net is 2.43 m
(7 ft 11 21⁄32 in) above the center of the court for men's
competition, and 2.24 m (7 ft 4 3⁄16 in) for women's
competition, varied for veterans and junior competitions.
The minimum height clearance for indoor volleyball
courts is 7 m (23 ft), although a clearance of 8 m (26 ft)
is recommended.
A line 3 m (9.84 ft) from and parallel to the net is
considered the "attack line". This "3 meter" (or "10-foot")
line divides the court into "back row" and "front row"
areas (also back court and front court). These are in
turn divided into 3 areas each: these are numbered as
follows, starting from area "1", which is the position of
the serving player:

5. After a team gains the
serve (also known as
siding out), its members
must rotate in a clockwise
direction, with the player
previously in area "2"
moving to area "1" and so
on, with the player from
area "1" moving to area
"6". Each player rotates
only one time after the
team gains possession of
the serve; the next time
each player rotates will be
after the other team wins
possession of the ball and
loses the point.

6. The team courts are surrounded by an area called the
free zone which is a minimum of 3 meters wide and
which the players may enter and play within after the
service of the ball. All lines denoting the boundaries of
the team court and the attack zone are drawn or
painted within the dimensions of the area and are
therefore a part of the court or zone. If a ball comes in
contact with the line, the ball is considered to be "in".
An antenna is placed on each side of the net
perpendicular to the sideline and is a vertical extension
of the side boundary of the court. A ball passing over
the net must pass completely between the antenna (or
their theoretical extensions to the ceiling) without
contacting them.
