How do you play 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 a 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. A team is allowed only three touches of the ball before it must
be returned over the net.
 If a deciding game is required, the winning team would be the one that reach 15
points first with at least two points more than the other team.
