Volleyball is a team
sport that is made up of six members. Each player has a
designated position, including a setter, outside hitter,
middle hitter, and a defense specialist. To score points, one
must put the ball on the ground on the opposite side of the
court. Each play begins with a player serving the ball, and
the play ends when the ball touches the ground. Typically,
each side should have a pass/bump, set, and a spike/hit.
A pass is when the ball hits the forearms and bounces up to
another player. A set is when a player uses the fingertips and
hand to push the ball out to the hitter/spiker. The final hit
is when a player jumps up and hits the ball to the other side
after the ball is set. Each side can only have three contacts
with the ball.
