4. WHAT IS
VOLLEYBALL?
• Volleyball is a sport played by two
teams on a playing court divided
by a net. 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
them from doing the same.
5. The team has three hits for
returning the ball (in addition to
the block contact). The ball is put
in play with a service over the
net to the opponents. The rally
continues until the ball falls on
the playing court, goes "out" or
a team fails to return it properly.
6. 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.
