How the competition runs

Volleyball is played by two teams of six on an 18 metre by 9 metre indoor court. The teams are divided by a net that stands 2.43m high for men and 2.24m for women. The object of the game is to hit the ball over the net to land in the other team’s half of the court. Players normally use their hands to try to keep the ball in the air and set up point-winning plays, although the ball can be played by any part of the body.Each team is allowed three touches of the ball before it must cross back over the net. Matches are the best of five sets, with 25 points needed to win a set. || Beach Volleyball

How the competition runs

Beach Volleyball is based on the same idea as the indoor volleyball game, with teams of two players. It is played on an outdoor sand court divided by a net set at the same height as Volleyball. Players display amazing agility and exceptionally sharp reflexes. Matches are the best of three sets, with 21 points needed to win a set. || include component="backlinks" page="Volleyball, Beach Volleyball" limit="10"
