Volleyball is a team sport played by two teams separated by a net. It was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan in Massachusetts. The game has since been standardized by the International Volleyball Federation with specific rules around the court dimensions, equipment, and gameplay. A standard volleyball court is 60 feet by 30 feet with boundary lines and specific zones. The objective is for teams to volley a ball back and forth over the net without letting it touch the ground on their side of the court.
