Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules. The ball is usually played with the hands or arms, but players can legally strike or push the ball with any part of the body. 

A team is allowed up to three touches to return the ball across the net. A point is scored when the ball lands on the opponent's court, when the opponent fails to return the ball, or when the opponent commits a fault. The first team to reach 25 points with a two-point lead wins the set.
