History of Volleyball in the USA
Volleyball has its origin in the United States where it enjoys popularity only second to football among participation sports as is the case globally. At present, Americans more than 24 million play volleyball. Globally, 800 million people play the sport at least one time in a week.
Scoring in the game requires a team to pass the ball to the opponent’s side over the net and have it become grounded. The back-row player in the right side serves the ball to the opponent’s court by hitting it using the hand to put the ball into play.
The ball can only be hit not more than three times by a team including contact from blocking before being returned to the other team’s court. No player should consecutively touch the ball, except during blocking. A score is made when the ball touches the ground, leaves the court from the opponent’s side, or a fault is committed.
