To play volleyball, two teams of six players each (or a different number depending on the variation) are separated by a net. The objective is to score points by grounding the ball on the opponent's court while preventing them from doing the same. Here's a simplified overview of how to play volleyball: The game starts with a serve. A player from one team serves the ball by hitting it over the net to the opposing team. The receiving team must pass the ball to the setter to set up an attack. The attacking team tries to spike the ball over the net into the opponent's court, aiming to make it difficult for the opposing team to return. The defending team must try to block or dig the spiked ball, returning it to the other side of the net. The play continues back and forth until a team fails to return the ball or commits a fault. Each time a team successfully grounds the ball on the opponent's court, they score a point. The first team to reach a predetermined number of points (usually 25) with a minimum two-point advantage wins the set.
