In volleyball, players score points by hitting a ball over a net and into the opponent's court. The objective is to ground the ball in the opposing team's area while preventing them from doing the same. Volleyball can be played indoors or on the beach, commonly as six-a-side or two-a-side formats, respectively. Players utilize a combination of serving, passing, setting, attacking, and blocking skills to outmaneuver the opposition. The fast-paced nature of the game requires teamwork, communication, and strategic thinking to achieve victory.
