Abstract

Volleyball (English: volley volley - "hit" and ball - "ball") is a ball sport played by two teams of 6 players on a court with a net in the middle. It is played on a 9x18 m court divided in the middle by a net (2.43 m high for men's competition and 2.24 m high for women's competition). A volleyball net has 1,000 cells (100 wide and 10 high), and each cell has four sides of 10 cm. One team consists of 6 people and 2 teams play. Players try to hit the ball with their hands and land it in the opponent's field. The ball must be moved to the opponent's side in three hits.
