PAthfit Volleyball part 1

Volleyball

It is a team sport played by two teams on playing court divided by a net. The object of the game is to send the ball over the net to ground it on the opponent's court, and to prevent the same effort by the opponent. The team has three hits for returning the ball (in addition to the block contact).

The ball is put in play with a service hit by server over the net to the opponents. The rally continues until the ball is grounded on the playing court, goes "out" or a team fails to return it properly
