Volleyball 101: A Beginner’s Guide

Volleyball is a sport played by two teams of six players on a rectangular court. The aim of the game is to send a ball over a high net and make it land on the opponent’s side, without them being able to return it. Points are awarded when the opposing team is unable to return the ball, or if they make an error.

The game starts with a serve, where one player hits the ball over the net to the other team. The receiving team must then pass the ball, usually by hitting it with their hands, to a player in their own team who will attempt to hit the ball over the net to the opposing team.

If the ball lands on the opponent’s side, the opposing team will then try to return the ball, and the rally continues until one team is unable to return the ball or makes an error. A point is awarded to the team that wins the rally.

Each team is allowed three touches to return the ball before it must be hit over the net. The ball cannot be caught, carried or thrown, and must be hit cleanly with the hands or arms. A player can hit the ball as many times as they want, as long as they do not carry, throw or catch it.

A match is played to a predetermined number of sets, usually the best of three or five. A set is won by the team that reaches 25 points, with a two-point lead over the opposing team.
