A volleyball court is a rectangular area, 18 meters long and 9 meters wide, divided by a net. The net is 2.43 meters high for men’s play and 2.24 meters for women’s play.
How to Play Volleyball:
- Teams: Two teams, each with six players, compete.
- Serve: The game starts with a serve from behind the back line over the net.
- Receive: The receiving team tries to pass the ball cleanly to set up an attack.
- Rally: Teams exchange hits, aiming to keep the ball in play and prevent it from touching the ground on their side.
- Attack and Block: The attacking team hits the ball forcefully over the net, while the defending team attempts to block the attack.
- Scoring: Points are scored when the ball lands in the opponent's court or they fail to return it. Games are typically played to 25 points in a best-of-five sets format.
- Rotation: Players rotate clockwise after their team wins the serve.
