    Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net.
    Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under
    organized rules.[1] It has been a part of the official program of the Summer Olympic
    Games since 1964.
    The complete rules are extensive. But simply, play proceeds as follows: a player on
    one of the teams begins a 'rally' by serving the ball (tossing or releasing it and then
    hitting it with a hand or arm), from behind the back boundary line of the court, over
    the net, and into the receiving team's court. The receiving team must not let the
    ball be grounded within their court. The team may touch the ball up to 3 times but
    individual players may not touch the ball twice consecutively. Typically, the first two
    touches are used to set up for an attack, an attempt to direct the ball back over the
    net in such a way that the serving team is unable to prevent it from being grounded
    in their court.
    The rally continues, with each team allowed as many as three consecutive touches,
    until either (1): a team makes a kill, grounding the ball on the opponent's court and
    winning the rally; or (2): a team commits a fault and loses the rally. The team that
    wins the rally is awarded a point, and serves the ball to start the next rally. A few of
    the most common faults include:

    causing the ball to touch the ground or floor outside the opponents' court or
    without first passing over the net;
    catching and throwing the ball;
    double hit: two consecutive contacts with the ball made by the same player;
    four consecutive contacts with the ball made by the same team;
    net foul: touching the net during play;
    foot fault: the foot crosses over the boundary line when serving.

    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.
    A
    number
    of
    consistent techniques have
    evolved
    in
    volleyball,
    including spiking and blocking (because these plays are made above the top of the
    net, the vertical jump is an athletic skill emphasized in the sport) as well
    as passing, setting, and specialized player positions and offensive and defensive
    structures.

    The game of volleyball, originally called mintonette, was invented in 1895 by


    William G. Morgan after the invention of basketball only four years before. Morgan, a
    graduate of the Springfield College of the YMCA, designed the game to be a
    combination of basketball, baseball, tennis, and handball.
    The first volleyball net, borrowed from tennis, was only 66 high (though you need
    to remember that the average American was shorter in the nineteenth century).
    The offensive style of setting and spiking was first demonstrated in the Philippines
    in 1916. Over the years that followed, it became clear that standard rules were
    needed for tournament play, and thus the USVBA (United States Volleyball
    Association) was formed in 1928.
    Two years later, the first two-man beach volleyball game was played, though the
    professional side of the sport did not emerge until much later. Not surprisingly, the
    first beach volleyball association appeared in California (1965), and the professional
    players united under the auspices of the AVP (American Volleyball Professionals) in
    1983.
    During the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, American men and women took gold and
    silver medals in indoor volleyball competitions. Four years later at the Olympics in
    Korea, the men once again scored gold. Starting in 1996, two-man beach volleyball
    was officially introduced to the Olympics. Today, there are more than 800 million
    volleyball players worldwide, 46 million of them in the U.S.
