Volleyball, an Olympic Sport

By Olympics

Volleyball is a team sport played on a rectangular court with a net dividing the two sides. The objective is to hit a ball over the net and into the opponent's court, with the goal of making it touch the ground on their side. Each team has three hits to return the ball, and the game continues until one team fails to return the ball or makes an error. Volleyball has been an Olympic sport since 1964 and is played by both men and women at the highest level of competition. The sport requires skill, athleticism, and teamwork, making it a thrilling event to watch for fans around the world.
