VOLLEYBALL
WHAT IS VOLLEYBALL?
BY SAÚL GASCA
Volleyball is a sport that was
created in 1895 in the United States
by William George Morgan. This
sport is regulated by the
International Volleyball Federation
(FIVB) and has 220 nations
representing it. According to
estimates, one sixth of the world
plays or watches volleyball. This
sport is one of the sports that has
more equality between genders.
WHAT IS THE OBJECTIVE?
The objective of the game is to
pass the ball on the other side of
the court, but above the net,
trying to make the ball fall into
the opponent's field, while the
rival tries to keep the ball from
falling and then pass the ball to
the side of the rival. If you pass
the ball and it lands on the
opponent's court, you get a point.
This game is not against the
clock. The team that wins 2 sets
of 25 points each, wins the match.
