VOLLEYBALL RULESThis rules are extracts from beach volleyball rules
("Official beach volleyball rules"), approved
by the FIVB in 2000.
GAME CHARACTERISTICSVolleyball is a sport played by two teams on a court divided by a net. The ball is played by hitting it with any part of the body. The objective of the game is for each team to send the ball regularly over the net to ground it on the opponent’s court, and to prevent the ball from being grounded on its own court. A team is entitled to hit the ball three times to return it to the opponent’s court. The rally continues until the ball touches the ground, goes "out" or a team fails to return it properly. Only the serving team may score a point. When the receiving team wins a rally, it gains the right to serve, this is called a "side out". 1. SCORING SYSTEM1.1 TO WIN A SET
