Volleyball Rules
A Volleyball team is composed of between 6-8 players on a team, and a match is played between two teams with an equal number of players. A volleyball court is 60 feet long and 30 feet wide, divided into two 30 30 ft halves, by a 40-inch wide net, placed so that the top of the net is about eight feet above the center of the court. The first team to score 25 points (and be two points ahead) is awarded the set. Matches are best-of-five sets or best-of-three sets.
The goal of the game is to score points by grounding the ball on the opponent's court, or by having the other team commit a fault. A fault occurs if a team:
Hits the ball out of bounds
Hits the ball over three times during one series on their side of the court
One player hits the ball two times in a row
A player catches the ball
A player touches the net while attempting to play a ball
A player takes more than eight seconds to serve
