Description: Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six active players,
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 scored by grounding the ball on the opponents'
court, or when the opponent commits a fault. The first team to reach 25
points wins the set and the first team to win three sets wins the match.
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.
