Volleyball is a team sport played by two teams, typically consisting of six players each. The objective is to score points by sending a ball over a high net and into the opposing team's court. Players use their hands and arms to hit the ball, and they can use various techniques like serves, spikes, and blocks to control the game. The game is played on a rectangular court divided by a net, with each team trying to prevent the ball from touching the ground on their side. Matches are usually played in sets, and the first team to reach a predetermined number of points wins the set.
