Each team in volleyball consists of six players.
When a team wins a rally in volleyball, they are awarded a point and continue to serve.
A team cannot make more than four consecutive contacts with the ball in volleyball.
The antennae are placed on each side of the net perpendicular to the sideline, and they are a vertical extension of the side boundary of the court. A ball passing over the net must pass completely between the antennae (or their theoretical extensions to the ceiling) without contacting them.
Underhand serves are considered very easy to receive and are rarely employed in high-level competitions.
If a ball comes in contact with a line, the ball is considered to be "in".
The outside hitter is usually the most consistent hitter on the team and gets the most sets.
The role of the opposite hitter in a volleyball team is to put up a well-formed block against the opponents' outside hitters and serve as a backup setter.
The outside hitter usually plays on the left side of the court and gets the most sets, while the middle hitter plays in the center of the court and is responsible for putting up a strong block.
The outside hitter in volleyball usually takes a longer approach before hitting the ball because most sets to the outside are high. Outside hitters, also known as power hitters, attack from near the antennas. Since most sets to the outside are high, the outside hitter may take a longer approach, sometimes even starting from outside the court sideline.
