The game of Volleyball was invented in the year 1895 by William G. Morgan. It is a very popular game played in many countries across the globe. It is played between two teams. Each team consists of six players. It is played with the help of a ball which is thrown to the other side of the net to score points. The objective of the game is to maximum points. It is played on a rectangular court with markings on the floor and a net at the centre.
The game begins by tossing a coin. The winning team can choose to serve, receive or choose a side to play. First, a player serves the ball over the net by hitting it with the wrist. The opposing then team tries to return the ball. If they fail to do so, the first team receives points. If they return the ball then the first team also tries to return ball. This continues until a team fails to return the ball and the opposite team receives points. The duration of volleyball game depends on the number of sets. There may be 3 sets in a game where if a team wins 2 sets, they win the game. Also a game may consist of 5 sets where if a team wins 3 sets, they win the game. Each set can last about 15-25 minutes.
