Volleyball

Volleyball, game played by two teams usually of six players on a side, in which the players use their hands to bat a ball back and forth over a
high net, trying to make the ball touch the court within the opponents’ playing area before it can be returned. To prevent this a player on the
opposing team bats the ball up and toward teammate before it touches the court surface that teammate may then volley it back across the net
or bat it to a third teammate who volleys it across the net.
