"Volleyball
is a team sport in which two teams of six 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. It has
been a part of the official program of the
Summer Olympic Games
since 1964.The complete
rules
are extensive. But simply, play proceeds as follows: A
player on one of the teams begins a 'rally' by serving
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
be grounded within their court. They may touch the ball
as many as three times. Typically, the first two touches
are used 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
being grounded in their court."
