Volleyball is a sport as well as a hobby. In some countries, volleyball is very popular. Volleyball is an Olympic team sport in which two teams of 6 active players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team’s court under organized rules.

How to play volleyball?

Play proceeds as follows:

A player on one of the teams begins a rally by attempting to serve the ball (tossing or releasing it and then hitting it with a hand or arm), from behind the back boundary line of the court, over the net and into the receiving team’s court.

The receiving team must not let the ball touch their court; they may touch the ball as many as three times, typically using the first two touches to set up for an attack, an attempt to direct the ball back over the net in such a way that the serving team is unable to prevent it from touching their court.

The rally continues in the same manner, with each team allowed as many as three consecutive touches, until either:

(1): a team makes a kill, grounding the ball on the opponent’s court, thus winning the rally; or

(2): a team commits a fault, thus losing the rally.

The team that wins the rally is awarded a point, and serves the ball to start the next rally. Volleyball can be fun and a good exercise. If you do not want to play competitively and just want to exercise and play in your spare time as a hobby, you can get together with some friends, study the rules and just play. It is also a good game to bond with friends and family members. If you want to learn more about volleyball and how to play it, here are some books that you can learn from.
