The CourtThe CourtThe net, divides the court into two equal sections.

TeamsTeamsVolleyball is played by two competing teams. The teams are divided on the court by the net, and each team has six players on the court. Three players are positioned in the front row near the net and three players are in the back row. Each team can only hit the ball three times before the ball must travel over the net to the other team. The same player cannot hit the ball for two consecutive hits.

ServingServingA team wins the serving when the opposing team fails to volley the ball over the net within three hits. Before serving the ball, a team must rotate clockwise one position. The player who rotates into the back-right position will serve the ball. That player must stand behind the serving line when serving the ball. The server can use his hand or arm to hit the ball. The ball must go over the net and fall within the boundary lines on the opposing team's side. If the serving team wins the point, then the same player will continue to serve the ball.

ScoringScoringA team scores a point if it is serving the ball and the opposing team fails to return the ball. A team may fail to return the ball because the ball hits the ground, the ball is hit out of bounds or the ball is hit more than three times by the team. The first team to 21 points wins the game. The team that wins two out of three games wins the match.
