CHARACTERISTICS
Volleyball is a sport played
by two teams on
a playing court divided by a
net. There are
different versions available
for specific circumstances
in order to offer the
versatility
of the game to everyone.
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 the same
effort by the opponent. The
team has three
hits for returning the ball
(in addition to the
block contact).
The ball is put in play with
a service: hit by
the server over the net to
the opponents.
The rally continues until
the ball is grounded
on the playing court, goes
“out” or a team
fails to return it properly.
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.
