Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by getting the ball to land on the other team's court, which measures 30 by 30 feet. A player on one of the teams begins a rally by serving the ball from behind the back boundary line of the court, over the net, and into the receiving team's court. Each team may touch the ball up to 3 times but individual players may not touch the ball twice consecutively. The first two touches are used to set up for an attack. The first touch is considered a pass, and the second is called a set. An attack is an attempt to direct the ball back over the net in a way that will make it difficult for the receiving team to
