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
In the winter of 1895[3], in Holyoke, Massachusetts (United States), William G. Morgan, a YMCA physical education
director, created a new game called Mintonette, a name derived from the game of badminton,[4] as a pastime to be
played (preferably) indoors and by any number of players
A volleyball court is 9 m × 18 m (29.5 ft × 59.1 ft), divided into equal square halves by a net with a width of one meter
(39.4 in).[15] The top of the net is 2.43 m (7 ft 11 11⁄16 in) above the center of the court for men's competition, and 2.24 m
(7 ft 4 3⁄16 in) for women's competition
