- Volleyball is a fast-paced team sport played on a rectangular court with a net. Each team aims to score points by hitting the ball over the net and onto the opponent’s court, while also preventing the opposing team from doing the same. The game involves serving, passing, setting, spiking, and blocking. Teams consist of six players, and matches are typically played in a best-of-five sets format. Communication, teamwork, and quick reactions are crucial for success in volleyball.
