Volleyball

Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams, typically consisting of six players each, are separated by a high net. The primary objective of the game is to score points by hitting a ball over the net and into the opponent’s court, while preventing the opposing team from returning the ball effectively. The ball is played mainly using the hands and arms, and teams can make a limited number of touches to the ball before sending it over the net. The game is played in sets, and teams must reach a certain number of points to win a set, with matches typically played in a best-of-five sets format. Volleyball can be played indoors or on the beach, with variations and adaptations such as sitting volleyball for athletes with disabilities. The sport emphasizes coordination, teamwork, and strategy, as well as physical skills such as jumping, serving, and spiking.
