Ball Games
Volleyball is a popular team sport played by two teams of six players each. The teams are separated by a net, and the objective is to score points by grounding the ball on the opponent’s court.
Skills in Volleyball
There are several important skills in volleyball, and they are:
- Serving: This is the act of putting the ball into play. A player on one team stands behind the end line and hits the ball over the net towards the other team.
- Passing: This is the act of moving the ball to a teammate. Players use their hands to control the ball and direct it to another player.
- Setting: This is the act of positioning the ball for a teammate to hit. A player uses their hands to lift the ball up and over their head, giving their teammate a chance to spike the ball.
- Spiking: This is the act of hitting the ball hard over the net. A player jumps up and hits the ball with a powerful swing, aiming to make it difficult for the other team to receive.
- Blocking: This is the act of stopping the ball from coming over the net. Players jump up and use their hands to block the ball, preventing it from landing on their court.
