Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. It has been a part of the official program of the Summer Olympic Games since Tokyo 1964.
Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court. The receiving team must not let the ball be grounded within their court.
The team may touch the ball up to 3 times, but individual players may not touch the ball twice consecutively. The ball is usually played with the hands or arms, but players can strike or push (short contact) the ball with any part of the body.
