Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players each compete against each other on a court divided by a net. The objective of the game is to score points by hitting a ball over the net and into the opponent’s side of the court, while also preventing the opposing team from doing the same. The ball is typically made of leather or synthetic material and is volleyed back and forth using only the hands or arms. Players can rotate positions on the court to ensure everyone gets an opportunity to play all positions. The team that wins a rally earns a point and the first team to reach a certain number of points (usually 25 or 21) wins the set. Matches are typically played in best-of-five sets format. Volleyball is a popular and widely played sport around the world, both recreationally and professionally.
