Volleyball Wallpaper, #9129

Volleyball is an Olympic team sport in which two teams of six
active players, separated by a high net, each try to score points
against one another by grounding a ball on the other team's court under
organized rules.The complete rules of Volleyball are
extensive, but in general, play proceeds as follows: points are scored
by grounding the ball on the opponents' court, or when the opponent
commits a fault. The first team to reach 25 points wins the set and the
first team to win three sets wins the match. Teams can contact the ball
no more than three times before the ball crosses the net, and
consecutive contacts must be made by different players. 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.Through time, Volleyball
has developed to involve common techniques of spiking, passing,
blocking, and setting, as well as specialised player positions and
offensive and defensive structures. Because many plays are made above
the top of the net, vertical jumping is an athletic skill emphasised in
Volleyball. This article focuses on competitive indoor Volleyball, which is carefully regulated and played indoors. Numerous variations of Volleyball have developed for casual play, as has the Olympic spin-off sport beach Volleyball.
