Volleyball is an Olympic team sport in which two teams of six active players (five normal players and one 'libero'), separated by a high net, each try to score points against one another by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules.
The complete rules of volleyball are extensive, but in general, play proceeds as follows: Points are awarded as follows: If the ball touches the ground outside the court area, the team which made contact with it last loses the point. If the ball touches the ground on team A's side of the net, team B is awarded a point, and vice-versa. The ball MUST be hit over the net, if a team hits the ball under the net, they lose the point. The team who won the point then serves. The first team to reach 25 points wins the set and the first team to win three sets wins the match.[2] Teams can contact the ball no more than three times before the ball crosses the net, and consecutive contacts must be made by different players. The ball is usually played with the hands or arms, but players can legally strike or push (short contact) the ball with any part of the body.
