Confused how to play volleyball? Here are seven steps that will guide you how to
play volleyball.

1. Choose your players.

You need to have 6 players per team for a game. However, if you’re playing
with a group of friends for fun, just keep the same number of players on each
team.

2. Determine which team will serve the ball first.

Just toss a coin or make an agreement to find out which team will start the game.

3. Serve the ball over the net.

The ball has to go over the net and it has to land within the court for the serve
to be good.

4. Return the ball if you’re on the receiving team.

And so the rally has begun. Typically, the play will be bump, set, spike— but
as long as it doesn’t fo over within three hits, its fine.

5. Continue hitting the ball back and forth across the net until a fault happens.
May it be:
 The ball hits the ground
 The ball goes out of bounds.
 Someone touches the net.
 Someone’s foot goes under the net.
 Someone hits the ball two consecutive times.
 A team hits the ball four or more times without sending it over unto the other
team.
 And such.
6. Serve the ball again.
The team that won the last point will get to serve the ball.

7. Continue playing until you reach the point.

In the standard play of volleyball, one team should earn 25 points in order to
win the play. However, if you’re playing just for fun, you can just decide how
many points you will allow for a game.

And that’s a wrap. You’re now bound to go bump, set and spike now that you
know the basics of volleyball. Just a little reminder dear, the key to be successful in
volleyball is practice and heart and practice. You have to be willing to practice and
put your heart above anything else. And so now go and get the bacon! Adios!
