BLOCKING
- A block is an attempt to halt an opponent's attack by jumping with the hands overhead to
create a barrier at the net. The most common blocking violation is touching the net.

goal is to down the ball on the other team's side of the court, players often jump when striking
the ball to increase the difficulty of receiving the hit.
