volleyball

Volleyball is a popular sport that is played professionally, as well as in recreational leagues, on school teams, in backyards, sandlots, or beaches.  The game of volleyball can be enjoyed virtually anywhere a net can be set up, including over a swimming pool.  A typical volleyball game uses six players on each side.  The aim is to deliver the ball over the net and "ground" it (have it touch the ground) on the opposing side while preventing the ball from touching the ground on their side.in this game Points can only be scored by the serving team, and the first team to reach 15 points wins the set as long as they have a lead of two points.  If the lead is less than two points, the play continues until a 2 point lead is established.  A match is decided by the best of three or five sets, as determined prior to the game, although national and international league games must be played to the best of five sets.
