 INTRODUCTION
The game of volleyball has been played and enjoyed for centuries. Volleyball is
at past time and a fun game to participate in. It is a sport that does not take a lot
of stamina or skill on the players' part. It also is a good game to play in larger
groups and with friends.

Volleyball is above all a team sport, where star players will not make or break e
game. Volleyball relies on all the team members' abilities without focusing on
errors. It is a great game to play for enjoyment, not competition. It is a game that
takes energy and will keep you fit, but does not wear you out completely.

If you are not an extremely athletic person, volleyball is a great sport to test
yourself at. It is not a very exuberating game, and does not require a lot of
movement.
