Volleyball paper thingy

In the sport known originally known as mintonette in 1895, the beloved sport
everybody knows and loves was invented and the world was in love. Volleyball is an
intense sport that strikes passion and love in all of the fan’s hearts. In this essay, I will
demonstrate the rules for this game, as well as how you play it.

First of all, let’s start with the rules. Volleyball (as implied on the name) is a ball
game. It is very different than most ball games though. Instead of getting it on the other
team’s goal, you just have to have it hit their side of the court, and there is a net in the
middle. Each full volleyball team consists of six players each.

They have to have three players up front and three players behind. The player in
the back-right position is the server. He or she has to serve the ball and start the game. If
they do not make it to the other side, the other team scores a point since they either hit it
out or hit it on their own side. If they hit it on the other side, the game starts. But if it
touches the floor on the other side, your team gets a point and that is called an ace. (If
nobody touches the ball and it hits the other side from a serve.)

The middle-back is like what a midfielder is to soccer players. He or she is in


charge of a lot of space to defend and their team is very dependant on them. Another rule
is that you cannot touch the ball two times in a row.

You can touch it twice, but only if you pass to someone and they pass back to
you. Each team can only touch the ball three times while it is on their side (not including
blocks.) If it goes to the other side, the number of times you can pass the ball (on your
side at least) is reset. This remains the same for the other team.

The left-back, although no particular role, is still very important. They cover the
entire left-back area and can be responsible for amazing saves! The forward left is one of
the attacking roles. If the ball is set to them, they can spike it to the other side and attempt
to score a point for their team. They can also help the other forward positions to spike it
in by setting it to them. (Setting is a type of pass.)

The forward middle, otherwise known as the setter, normally gets the second pass
unless they say help. Their job is to set the ball to the other forwards to spike to the other
side. They can also be very helpful in blocking.

The right forward is very helpful for spiking as well. They can also block, just
like their other forward position pals. Some other rules include: You need to do the
specific way of passing meant for volleyball, otherwise it is illegal. The same goes for
serving and spiking.
