Introduction

The game volleyball is played on a hard surface, on the grass or on the beach. It is played
both locally and internationally. Six players are on the court at any given time and the other
six players off the court are the reserves. One of these players is the Libero, who is the
defensive specialist.

How the game of volleyball is played

volleyball, game played by two teams, usually of six players on a side, in which the players
use their hands to bat a ball back and forth over a high net, trying to make the ball touch the
court within the opponents’ playing area before it can be returned. To prevent this a player on
the opposing team bats the ball up and toward a teammate before it touches the court surface
that teammate may then volley it back across the net or bat it to a third teammate who volleys
it across the net. A team is allowed only three touches of the ball before it must be returned
over the net.

: Playing the Game

1. Maximum of three hits per side.

2. Player must not hit the ball twice in succession.

3. Ball may be played off the net during a volley and on a serve.

4. A player must not block or attack a serve.

5. A ball touching a boundary line is good.

6. A legal hit is contact with the ball by a player body above and including the waist which
does not allow the ball to visibly come to a rest.

A point is scored when a team wins a rally.

They do this in one of two ways. If your team sends the ball over the net and the defending
team fail to return the ball, you score a point. You can also win a point if the other team hit
the ball out of the designated court boundary.

There are six positions on the volleyball court:

1. Right side (RS)

2. Two Outside Hitters (OH)

3. Two Middle Hitters (MH)
