High school volleyball is a popular team sport played by students in grades 9 through 12. Teams typically consist of six players on the court, and the objective is to score points by hitting a ball over a net into the opposing team's court. Matches are usually played in a best-of-five sets format, with each set played to 25 points. In high school, volleyball can be played in both indoor and beach formats. Many schools have competitive teams that participate in local and state tournaments, fostering teamwork and sportsmanship among players. Coaches often emphasize skill development, strategy, and physical fitness during practices and games.
