The History of Volleyball
What is Volleyball? Volleyball is one of the world’s most popular sports and is played by more than 800 million people on the planet at least once a week.
Volleyball has come a long way to be here, let me tell you of its journey here, shall we sit back and relax its going to be long ride, oh and watch out for the ball on your way up. Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are divided by a net. The object of the game is to send the ball over the net so that the opposing team cannot return the ball or prevent it from hitting the ground in their court under organized rules. It has been a part of the official program of the summer Olympic Games since 1964. There are different versions available for specific circumstances in order to offer the versatility of the game to everyone. 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 the 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. In Volleyball, the team winning a rally scores a point (Rally Point System). When the receiving team wins a rally, it gains a point and the right to serve, and its players rotate one position clockwise.
